single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah. Well, hope
you're having a very meaningful good Friday. And boy, what
(00:20):
a not good friday it is, right, just so snowy
and slushy kind of across Colorado. But the sun's going
to come out. Sun's going to come out over the weekend.
And that's why I like days like this so much, right,
because if it was just sunny and green every day, yeah,
we wouldn't appreciate it as much. But boy, yeah what
a day. And some tough sledding, but it's not really
(00:42):
sticking to the highway, right, it's more slush and stuff
like that. And I had the pleasure of starting my
day to day six thirty meeting share frames up at
the Denny's and Thornton and just a wonderful breakfast. I mean,
he's he's just such a cool guy and wanted to
pick a brain on a wide range of topics and
(01:02):
a great way to start the day. I'd like to
say i'd be traffic, but what time do you think
rush hour starts now? Because I'm an early morning guy, right,
I'm up super early anyway, but normally not doing a
whole lot of highway travel early. But yeah, this morning
driving up to Thornton, it I thought it was three
in the afternoon, So I guess it's kind of perpetual
(01:22):
rush So do be careful out there. Three h three
someone three A two five five of the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I thoroughly
entertained myself getting ready for this show to start because
Ryan Shuley, who does great show in the Denver market
before this one, looks like you and your Texters were
pretty obsessed with the latest Blue Origin flight.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, it was one of our nominees for my Friday
Fool of the Week installment, and they couldn't quite overtake
your favorite Senator in mine, Michael Bennett, who won it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh Man, this Bennett stuff. I'm it's just so good
and it's just so funny. But the gift that keeps
on given, and we should have a little pool. Can
we get some sponsor to donate a big screen or
something some kind of prize for the person who picks
to the minute when Phil Wiser is going to be
run out of the race, trampled out of the race,
(02:14):
driven out of the race by Michael Bennett, because it's
going to be sooner than later?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Do you think, Dan, And this is just a hypothetical.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
If Wiser had done the wise thing and used this
opportunity that's been presented to him by Kyle Clark the
Denver Post. Clearly a conflict of interest in Bennett holding
onto his Senate seat and also running for governor, so
kind of straddling two lanes there for Wiser to come
out on offense and attack him for that. Could he
have gotten some traction in the race?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh? Sure, but he's not in the race. I mean,
that's been my point right from the moment Michael Bennett
got in. Is this thing's wired. But that's just my belief.
That's just my personal belief. But Ryan has always used
zero right in on exhibit A. Just wait a second,
if you were still in this race, you would be
(03:04):
pounding him relentlessly, you know. But no, he wants that
Senate seat, right, that's a reasonable assumption. Phil Wiser wants
a Senate seat, and he figures he's got some leverage
because he's already in the race, and from the Democrat perspective,
he's a credible candidate. He's certainly much more accomplished person
than Michael Bennett is. So he's figuring he got this
(03:26):
leverage if he gets out of the way, he wants
the inside track to the Senate seat. That's my theory.
But none of them want to get blogoyevitched, right, none
of them because Blogoievitch spent his time in a cell
right down the road on Hampton, just off Hampton and Kipling.
And I don't think Wiser and Bennett want to share
(03:48):
a cell because Blogoyevitch had a roommate in his cell.
I don't think maybe somebody could do a meme on this,
you know, kind of Bennett and Wiser sharing the cell
with the kind of the Blagoyevitch hairstyles. Yeah, because you're
not allowed to koifit as much in prison, I don't think.
(04:08):
But don't you think that's the play. Wiser is essentially
already out in my view, because he has not taken
advantage of this opening to pound Bennetts. So that's not
exactly somebody wants to win. And if he does want
to win, what Wiser has proven over the last few
days is he's not qualified to be governor because if
you can't see this opening and take it and start
(04:28):
throwing some punches, you're not tough enough to lead this day.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So true, and the point you make about leverage, if
it's about that and only that, Dan, then yeah, Phil
Wiser has it right now because no Goose has already
stepped aside and agreed not to run and endorse Bennett,
so he doesn't really have leverage in.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
The situation Wiser does.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Wiser's like, well, I'm in it, and if you want
me to not be in it, there's something you could.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Do, right, But then you run into this little problem
of Blagoyevitch. Right, So it can't be that direct, right,
you can't be selling the Senate s be that directed.
And you couldn't trust Michael Bennett on this. Jo Wiser
could not trust Bennett on this because from.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
The ethical standpoint, Dan and Clark made this point appointedly
with Bennett in an interview setting, and Bennett, I don't
think he's handled this very well at all. That goes
without saying he kind of pushed back on the Denver
Post reporting on Colorado's Morning News. But the only respectable
play here is if you're running for governor, then you're
running for governor. Then you set aside the Senate seat
(05:28):
and Jared Paulus, your buddy, your pal, your political colleague,
and Ally will appoint your replacement.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Why is that not good.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Enough for us? The reason it's not good enough is
He's not good enough. Right, Michael Bennett needs this hammer.
He needs this hammer to get the Democrat nomination. How
do you think he got those people standing behind him
at City Park? Everybody's hoping for the Senate seat. How's
he going to get wiser out of the race the
(05:57):
threat of Bennett's wit and wisdom and charm. No, it's
got to be hey, look what I've got. I got
something that's priceless. You could have a billion dollars and
you can't buy this. Look what I got. And it's
not just Hey, Phil, look what I got here? Follow
me around to chase it's it's Phil, you don't have
a prayer, because I got this and I'm gonna use
(06:20):
it to get all those people to line up behind
me at City Park and other places. So that's why
he's doing it as wrong as it is. And think
about this, think about what it proves about Michael Bennett.
What a totally dishonest hypocrite is all this talk about
DEI and Holier than though and equity, equity, equity, Look
(06:43):
at you could have. You could have a woman appointed
to the United States Senate tomorrow to morrow, you could
have a person of color appointed to the United States
Senate tomorrow. And who's standing in their way. Michael friggin'
Bennett is standing in their way. He's a total phony,
(07:04):
a total hypocrite. And all these Democrats who don't call
him out right now for that. You know, you got
all these old white men take it. They're either old
chronologically or they act old. But you got all these
old white men taking up all the big seats for
the party that pretends to care about people of color,
pretends to care about women, pretends to care about gender equity.
(07:26):
And Michael Bennett is single handedly preventing a woman or
a person of color from being in the United States
Senate next week. That's who he is. And every one
of those Democrats who don't call him out for it,
that's who they are. Hopefully the people of Colorado will
see it. So Wiser's already out right, all we're missing
(07:50):
is the announcement. So can we get a big screen
TV and give it to somebody if they get like
to the minute, because the day is going to be
too too easy, right, It's going to be someday, very soon.
And what do you think I'll say? What do you
think I'll say when he gets out? Oh? Do you
see this statement from the White House? This is beautiful
(08:12):
kind of what we predicted yesterday. Abrago Garcia is never
coming back to the US. So I think this goes
to what we were saying at the end of the
show yesterday, right, which is, hey, he may not stay
in our Salvador, but they're just going to take him
directly to the worst other place they can think of. Yeah, yeah, so,
(08:37):
but I hope they don't do that anytime soon, because
in the meantime, what a gift from the Democrats, right,
who've made this MS thirteen guy their their new hero.
I mean, what a beautiful thing. So we got a
lot to talk about. Neither of those topics we started
with were actually on our agenda today, but that's the
beauty of the show, right, you roll with what's happening
(08:59):
in the newsree someone three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
One thing I want to weave through our Good Friday
show today is those proof of God moments. They've occurred
in our country, they've occurred in your life. There are
so many cool stories and they can't be scientifically explained
(09:19):
or otherwise explained other than God. So let's weave those
through the show. Call or write any time on those
three or three someone three eight two five five texts
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show. Podcast was
mocking the space.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Mission so called of Gail King and Katy Perry, and
there was.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
What's her name the Lolorina Sanchez Bezos a squeeze well fiance. Well,
you know, do you read how much they plan to
spend on that way? How much? How much is too
much to spend spend on a wedding? I'd like to
hear from people on that. Three three someone three eight
two five five takes d A N five seven seven
(10:09):
three nine.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think we're gonna spend maybe two grand total, not
even probably less.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That is really impressive.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, we're really going on a budget here.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
That is no. I I think that is so cool,
so cool. I think we did too, because I think
we cut the guest list of four ninety nine from
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Did you seriously save a lot of money by getting
under that particular number?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh no, I was joking all I thought, and I
think it actually was five hundred. It was a cut line,
but I think it was five hundred. But it was a.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Good party by scale, it was a good party. Just
my take current.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I mean, if you're going to do a wedding and
do it right and do it big, I mean you're
spending what ten twenty grand?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Probably twenty grand.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's at least it's expensive. I'm looking up the Bezos wedding.
I've seen so many different estimates, but I do think
there's a and listen, I'm knowing to judge this sort
of thing, but I think there are just a certain
point where it's too much. Let's see this estimate is No,
(11:12):
that can't be right. Yeah, yeah, you can't spend one
hundred million on a wedding. And I'm not saying that million.
I'm not saying that that's just one story, and I
don't think it's I don't think it's even remotely reliable.
But we've read about some weddings where they spend that
or more right, let's go to Kathleen in Boulder. You're
on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Welcome, Thank you Dan, and an observation of working in
hospice for twenty years. I have witnessed many, many transitions
at the very end of life, as the patient became
a little more conscious and the arm went up towards heaven,
(11:58):
and I didn't say a word. I was in the room,
either finishing up the care or some other reason, so
I just quietly squatted down and looked to see could
I see anything? But I did not, But I watched
them and their face was magnificent, the patient's face. The
(12:22):
arm was up in the air like there was a
hand coming into That's how I and I saw it
with many patients as well as one family member, and
I said not a word, never asking anybody what happened.
It's magic.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, thank you, Kathleen, and thank you for the great
work that you've done. Wow, appreciate that. Hopefully get a
lot of calls like that. Today we're talking about proof
of God moments.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That is truly the work of angels what Kathleen does,
because when my mom was in hospice, I just have
to imagine, you know, the mental toughness that takes of
every day you're having terminal patients come in there, and
they show them so much grace and kindness and care. Yeah,
and we truly appreciated the care that my mom got there.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, no that I don't think you have
anybody working in hospice who's doing it for the money, right, yeah, yeah, no,
But I really look forward every year. We do it
sometimes on Good Friday, sometimes on other days, but just
those proof of God's stories and then you get to
some of the big ones, right like the United States
(13:33):
of America. But three or three someone three eight two
five five text d An five seven seven three night Dan.
Our wedding was under seven thousand, included round trip airfare
from Denver to Seattle. Took along my daughter and her
husband so they could witness. That's pretty cool, Dan. Last
Good Friday twenty twenty four, Dan ended up stuck in
traffic and Ryan held down the show. Brian from Arvada
(13:56):
called and started saying not nice things about the Catholic Church.
Ryan texted Dan and Dad handed an appropriate response. How
does she remember? I know that's impressive. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I remember it now that she mentions it. Yeah, I
wouldn't have before.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That, you know the Yeah, yeah, do.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You remember getting stuck in traffic that day?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know, I'm trying to remember it. I'm trying to remember.
There have been a few days that I've been I
must have been coming back from something. Yeah, yeah, Oh well,
thanks for remembering, Alexa. Yeah, yeah, okay, three or three
someone three eight two five five text d A N
five seven seven three nine. You were you were not
(14:39):
kind to Katie Perry. Here are her thoughts.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I hope they can see the unity that we modeled
and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking
up space. We were making space for the future. And for me,
like Yale said, this wasn't a ride. Who wasn't it destination?
It was a journey and it was a supernatural one.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And how many days were they up there?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
How do you think those astronauts that were trapped up
in space field after hearing that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Blue Origin is what is that like a ten minute deal?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
They didn't even really go into space.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Technically, Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't that long, was it. No,
sounds like it was very moving.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
For my journey has all always been about love and belonging,
and I think that we have all felt that sometimes
we weren't worthy or we didn't belong and in certain ways,
no matter all the accolades, no matter all the studying,
no matter anything. And I think today we all said
(15:48):
it like.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We belong here.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
This is where we belong, and we feel very sure
that that's.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Why I picked the song right there.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Wow, Wow, it must have been a very moving experience. Yeah,
what's the most like moving? Well, that's not a good
way to frame the question. I'll come up with a
better way to frame the question. But assuming that she's
being genuine there, you know, what do you think it'd
(16:16):
be about? Like a five minute ride up there? That
would be so transformative? And she kissed the ground when
she got back, right she did? Yeah, so what what
would that be? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I've heard some people describe when they see the Grand
Canyon for the first time, you know, something wondrous like that,
that you know it's a moving experience.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, yeah, oh listen, I think that stuff can happen. Man,
I think that's the way we're designed, the way we're created, right,
I mean, the beauty of God is seen in the
beauty of creation, and I can tell you for me,
And there's been plenty of stuff around here. I can
still remember the first time I ever saw the Rockies
(16:56):
coming over that sceneic go overlook. I mean, really so
into Boulder, because I'd never traveled a Boulder before the
day I arrived there to start school. You know, there
wasn't money back in those days for that kind of travel,
and so I remember that vividly. But Africa, I'm telling you,
Africa was a and I don't mean to get all bolder,
but Africa was a truly spiritual experience. And I know
(17:18):
that the animals will do that to you, right because
I mean, yeah, you look at an elephant close up,
and you look at atheists and say, can you even
think about being an atheist? But to me it was.
And we're down in the Serengetti you look at just
as far as I can see these beautiful, wide open spaces,
and there's just no doubt in that moment. I Mean,
(17:41):
I came in with my own belief, but there's just
no doubt in that moment, right about the creator. So
I understand, I mean, I'm not mocking them. I get
how certain experiences, even lasting for a few minutes can
be transformative. You're on the Dan Kapitlo.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
He's a fake.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I know, I know, I'm all.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
They're all fake and they have no interest in that prisoner.
That prisoner's record is unbelievably bad.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
A talk about how evil.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I am that this man would be thrown.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Out of our card.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
This man is a, according to certified statements that we get,
is a very violent person. And they want this man
to be brought back into our country where he can
be free.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And to say, is a.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Happily Maryland you know, happily.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
They call him the Maryland man.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
He's a Maryland father.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Now here's a violent person.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
MSNBC wasn't liking the details so much. On a Breago Garcia.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
In twenty nineteen, Garcia was issued a deportation order two
separate judges of firm. Garcia was a member of MS thirteen,
which is a game that maybe even work.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We've been watching President Donald Trump there swearing in the
new administrator. They can't hand all the truth. Anyway, I
hope you're having a very meaningful, good Friday. And it
goes to the topic we're talking about yesterday, Ryan, which
is just is the explosion the surge in Christianity Colorado
(19:22):
and across the country. And it may be the same
for Jewish brothers and sisters as well. I just obviously
am not in synagogue, et cetera, so it may very
well be the same. But I'll tell you it is
so fantastic to see. I mean, you know, just this
morning and most Christians I think we'll go to services
at normally either nine in the morning, noon or three
(19:44):
in the afternoon. And nine in the morning, it was
just absolutely packed, and I have no doubt it was
just all over the state, as most services are these days.
It's just, yeah, there's something very good happen. And what
do you think triggered all of that? Let's go to
a beautiful El Paso County. Lauren, you're on the Dan
(20:06):
Capitol Show. Hey, we're doing the show from Denver Metro today,
Actually from Denver. Is it still snowing down there?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
It's actually doing pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, well it should be sunny by mid afternoon tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I'll be nice. I'm great for Easter, I hope.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh perfect.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Well, I'll be at my church celebrating.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Perfect what Mass? And then how early do you go
to get it?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
I'm a non denominational Christmas Okay, Christians' math Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Let's see.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
I'll be there at eight am for a men's meeting
and then Sunday school and then the regular church service,
and we'll have special music and stuff like that, so
until about eight leave a little afternoon.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Wow, I'll tell you. In the Catholic church, you better
get there early. So I'm the guy at my job
to go out there like an hour before on Christmas
or Easter and steak out a seat. And which brings
a tremendous question, is it ever okay to look at
your cell phone in church? Like if you get there
an hour before the service? Is it okay to look
(21:12):
at your phone at least until like a half hour before?
But anyway, Lauren, I know that's not what you're called.
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
So you were talking about weddings and how much is
too much? And I probably have like one of the
more interesting wedding stories I give you the short story
a little bit of details. So my wife and I
met in a war zone, another storm, we eloped and
we crashed someone else's wedding party, is the short story.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
That's awesome, that's efficient, and it cost us less than
fifty bucks for our wedding.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
We were in I was stationed in Germany. She was
in the United States in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. And when
they let me out of the Middle East to go back,
they gave me three days leave. Thirty days leave, went back,
visited her. We decided to get married. Just before we left,
(22:06):
we got the rings. We went to a paddle boat
captain who was a registered minister, and he's like, tell
you what, Friday night, I've got a wedding party here,
but they're not taking up the entire boat for the
cost of the dinner cruise. You and your two witnesses
can sit in the back. I'll give you dinner. You
can come up afterwards and we'll do your wedding. So
we've got pictures of this paddle boat deck to the hill.
(22:28):
N was somebody else's nice wedding and it cost us, like, listen,
fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Dad is really smart. Well, hey man, thanks for your
service and thanks to the great story. That is cool.
Have you ever crashed a wedding like done the real
wedding crashers thing?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Well, I didn't crash the wedding, but it was my
buddy Cody Tucker, who actually runs his own website covering
Wyoming sports just north here in Cheyenne. And it was
my producer at the time in Lansing, Jason Nick. And
he was an interesting, colorful character, and his presence wasn't
exactly wanted at the wedding by the bride to be,
(23:04):
and yet he showed up anyway, and yes he made
a scene, and no it did not go over well, Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I wonder if anybody does the real like wedding crashing
thing like you saw in the movie.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I kinda believe it's a thing. I mean it looks fun.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, great, great movie, great promise, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I just yeah, I've got to make up a backsta.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I have not done it myself, Texter says Dan Rushlinbaugh.
Just paid Elton John Well, couldn't have been just, but
paid Elton John a cool million dollars to sing at
his wedding. I'm surprised Ryan didn't speak on that one
while taking shots at Ryan on this show. Well there
for two hours ago, I.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just thought, I'm such a rush devote, and yes I
was aware of that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, I'm so happy to see this text because as
I was preparing for the show, because Good Friday, you know,
we talk about proof of God. We do it in
some other shows as well, because there are so many
cool stories out there right where there's no scientific explanation
for what happened, and it's proof one of those proof
of God moments. But I was thinking about this in
connection with some of the ones I was going to
(24:06):
give today. Dan the bullet missing Trump's head was proof
of God that from Kevin actually hit him. It was
interesting in the physical the president just did, which obviously
passed of flying colors, right, and even the left couldn't
quibble on that, because all you have to do is
watch the guy. Remember when Biden used to say, just
(24:26):
watch me. Yeah, Trump is like, you know, who can
keep up with Trump? It not all physically, just physically
with Trump, it's mentally, but you know, just dealing with
four reporters at once, et cetera. When Biden would have
or any of these lefties would have went fleeing and terror,
(24:48):
but it did hit him that turned up in his
physical discoar in his ear. But I do personally consider
that a proof of God moment. I believe there was
divine intervention. And you know, some people say, sometimes, well, okay,
if it was divine intervention, why you know, why did
God intervene there? Why didn't he intervene to save Corey,
(25:10):
et cetera. Which are all great questions, right, I don't
claim to have all the answers to all this. We
are not we are not meant to be, in my opinion,
to be capable of understanding everything. Think about it. I mean,
we think we're so smart. It wasn't that long ago
we didn't know how to build a car. I mean,
it was not that long ago we did not know
(25:31):
how to build a car. It wasn't that long ago
we humans didn't know how to build an airplane. So yeah,
but I personally believe my own personal belief is a
that God did intervene there to say President Trump, and
B As to why, I think the starting point is
(25:54):
you have to go back to the founders, right, you
want to talk about proof of God. I agree with
the founders founders believed that the only way that they
were going to succeed when the Revolutionary War, when independence
was with divine providence. And I think they're right because
when you looked at the landscape, they were at least
one hundred to one underdogs in what's now called Las Vegas.
(26:15):
And so that's why they ended the declaration of independence
that way, right, with reliance on divine providence. We pledged
you our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honors. So I
do believe just the creation of this nation major moment
of divine providence. If it wasn't for the United States
of America, the entire world would have been taken over
(26:35):
by darkness at least in the mid forties. And so
I believe that and just personal belief. I can't prove
it that God did intervene in that Butler Fielding part
to save America because think about what would have happened
if that evil assassin and whoever was involved with them.
(26:58):
I don't believe for a second year alone, but think
about what would have happened if he would have succeeded,
which obviously he was going to. I mean, the only
reason he didn't is this miraculous, perfectly timed head turn
this nation. What do you think that would have looked like?
And I'd love to take some calls and text on
this three or three someone three eight two five five
(27:20):
text d an five seven seven three nine. This nation
would have been immediately plunged into a non physical civil war.
And by that I mean it would not have been
a physically violent civil war, but it would have ripped
this nation apart immediately in an extraordinarily dangerous and damaging way.
(27:47):
And this nation is the single greatest hope on the
face of the earth for religious freedom and for freedom
to prevail against evil. Think of all the evil forces
in the world right now, and all the evil forces
that existed in the world the day that assassin lined
up on Trump's head in Butler and and if Trump
(28:10):
had not miraculously turned his head is think about Think
about where the world would be right now with evil
remaining on the march this nation in this non physical
internal civil war. Yeah, so I do believe God interviewed
in that field. Hey, welcome back to our great callers, Texters.
(28:32):
Hope you're having a meaningful good Friday. You're on the
Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Force than Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why because
he wasn't the worst president.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Joe Biden was so only Trump, right, I had nobody
else on the face of the earth is is going
to say that three h three someone three eight two
five five The number takes d an five seven seven
three nine. I mean this everybody can agree on, right,
that there has never been a funnier president. Lincoln was
(29:13):
certainly witty and all of the great sense of humor,
all these tremendous sayings everything else, but nobody's been funnier
and Reagan and joke see, and he could deliver him
really well, it could be pretty funny. He could have tied.
But Trump just relentlessly funny, relentlessly funny.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah. So if you just joined us, thank you. It's
good Friday. And so we're talking about proof of God moments,
which is always really cool, right because there's so many
of these that cannot be scientifically explained and just kind
of add to the obvious that yes, God exists. But
to hear it from callers and talk about some of
these is is really a cool reminder. We got off
(29:55):
on the topic of weddings because I think we were
what we were talking about Bezos the Origin and how
much his wedding was going to cost. Some reports say
two or three hundred million. How much is too much
to spend on a wedding? Eric in Denver, You're on
the Dan Kapitlis show, Welcome in, and I wonder what
the typical wedding is costing these days, because it's got
to be ginormous. Even a small wedding has to be ginormous. Haeric,
(30:19):
are you doing? Hi? Dan?
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Great American?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No greater than you, not as great as you did?
Speaker 7 (30:25):
My jocks?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
When did I do that?
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I had you even pull over to text you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh, I'm glad you pulled over.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Tim Baugh, Yeah, Rush Wimba spent just alone, spent a
cool million. That's how I phraised it in the text message. Well,
because I was telling Kelly, I mean a million dollars
was like twenty bucks to rush them.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Bah and how many songs did Elton Shem play for that?
Because they think's going right now?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
If you want like a Beyonce or somebody to come in,
if you're a shake and come in and do force
right is isn't it like five or ten million? Now
I'll looked it up.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
I don't know, but it surprised me, to be honest
with you, Ken Liberal, seeing at Russia's wedding. But that's
what Castro wants.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You for making that point, because this is something we
get into on the show all the time, Eric, because
people have dogged me because since Caroline was a little girl,
you know, our father, one of our father daughter things
has been to go to Taylor Swift concerts, like we
drove to al Maha and see the ones in Denver
and Chicago. But uh, but they dogged me because, oh,
she's a lefty. But look at Rush at Elton John right.
Because I'm a firm believer you should not let any
(31:38):
of that get in the way of enjoying somebody's artistry.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
I was. I was there at that wedding, I tell
you me, and I would have tried a Rush's yeah
and Russia.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I'd have brought Ryan with me and my wife because
you know he's a I didn't even text Ryan on
his texting machine calling him all Rush Limbaugh of Colorado,
and he didn't know that Rush Limbaugh spent a million,
a cool million, you know, at his wedding. That's what
I was Ryan.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm surprised he did not know that. But Eric appreciate
the call, my friend. How long you been married?
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Oh, I'm the divorce to mine first wife. I got
a second winning Okay about three years.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, you're just getting going, just getting warmed up. But
enjoy that, my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Appreciate the call. Three or three someone three eight two
five five d and five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I always appreciate Eric picking up the pieces because I
can't catch every.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Guy, no, Eric, And Eric is very very good about it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
He did a good job there. Yeah, very very.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Good about that. I do have to say, if you
don't mind a little humble brag. One of the coolest
moments of my life was when my phone started exploding
like off the chain. When Rush Limbaugh mentioned me on
his show Praise some commentary i'd done.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I wish I could find that audio.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You gotta find that audio, and then I promised to
stop talking about it. If you find the audio, I
won't talk about it anymore because we'll just play it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Well, I remember it's in Michael Brown's intro for his
morning show here locally in Denver on six point thirty km.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Brownie wus Rush himself said, Brownie, oh, okay, like that, Well,
we got to find it.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That was the context that he mentioned.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It was in connection with the with the Rodney King case, okay.
And I was out in LA I was doing commentary
for I think he saw it in the Washington Post
maybe USA today and and he just said, you know,
I'm paraphrasing. If there's one legal expert in the country
to follow on this case, it's this Dan Caplis guy
on Denver.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Okay. One, that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Two.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is there any way you'd be able to narrow it
down on a date, because what I'm willing to do
for you I can okay, because I'd be willing to
go into his archives or contact his producer, mister Snerdley,
who follows me on X Oh that's so cool, and
try to reach out to him say is there any
way thank you narrow this down and find it, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Can we get into the Choa archives? Would they go
back that far? Because I could probably narrow it down
to a week or two. I think we'd have more
lot going through snardly. Okay, okay, good job, well, thank you. No,
that would be an amazing thing. Dan says a Texter.
I have to disagree with you. I'm not condoning it,
but I do feel the US would have been in
a physical civil war at Trump and assassinated. And we've
(34:30):
been talking about proof of God moments. I personally do
believe that God intervened in that field in Butler, and
then we were talking about what America in the world
would look like today if that evil assassin and his
cohorts had succeeded. So when we come back, what are
your proof of God moments? On this good Friday yere
on the Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah. Well, hope
you're having a very meaningful good Friday. And boy, what
(00:20):
a not good friday it is, right, just so snowy
and slushy kind of across Colorado. But the sun's going
to come out. Sun's going to come out over the weekend.
And that's why I like days like this so much, right,
because if it was just sunny and green every day, yeah,
we wouldn't appreciate it as much. But boy, yeah what
a day. And some tough sledding, but it's not really
(00:42):
sticking to the highway, right, it's more slush and stuff
like that. And I had the pleasure of starting my
day to day six thirty meeting share frames up at
the Denny's and Thornton and just a wonderful breakfast. I mean,
he's he's just such a cool guy and wanted to
pick a brain on a wide range of topics and
(01:02):
a great way to start the day. I'd like to
say i'd be traffic, but what time do you think
rush hour starts now? Because I'm an early morning guy, right,
I'm up super early anyway, but normally not doing a
whole lot of highway travel early. But yeah, this morning
driving up to Thornton, it I thought it was three
in the afternoon, So I guess it's kind of perpetual
(01:22):
rush So do be careful out there. Three h three
someone three A two five five of the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I thoroughly
entertained myself getting ready for this show to start because
Ryan Shuley, who does great show in the Denver market
before this one, looks like you and your Texters were
pretty obsessed with the latest Blue Origin flight.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, it was one of our nominees for my Friday
Fool of the Week installment, and they couldn't quite overtake
your favorite Senator in mine, Michael Bennett, who won it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh Man, this Bennett stuff. I'm it's just so good
and it's just so funny. But the gift that keeps
on given, and we should have a little pool. Can
we get some sponsor to donate a big screen or
something some kind of prize for the person who picks
to the minute when Phil Wiser is going to be
run out of the race, trampled out of the race,
(02:14):
driven out of the race by Michael Bennett, because it's
going to be sooner than later?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Do you think, Dan, And this is just a hypothetical.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
If Wiser had done the wise thing and used this
opportunity that's been presented to him by Kyle Clark the
Denver Post. Clearly a conflict of interest in Bennett holding
onto his Senate seat and also running for governor, so
kind of straddling two lanes there for Wiser to come
out on offense and attack him for that. Could he
have gotten some traction in the race?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh? Sure, but he's not in the race. I mean,
that's been my point right from the moment Michael Bennett
got in. Is this thing's wired. But that's just my belief.
That's just my personal belief. But Ryan has always used
zero right in on exhibit A. Just wait a second,
if you were still in this race, you would be
(03:04):
pounding him relentlessly, you know. But no, he wants that
Senate seat, right, that's a reasonable assumption. Phil Wiser wants
a Senate seat, and he figures he's got some leverage
because he's already in the race, and from the Democrat perspective,
he's a credible candidate. He's certainly much more accomplished person
than Michael Bennett is. So he's figuring he got this
(03:26):
leverage if he gets out of the way, he wants
the inside track to the Senate seat. That's my theory.
But none of them want to get blogoyevitched, right, none
of them because Blogoievitch spent his time in a cell
right down the road on Hampton, just off Hampton and Kipling.
And I don't think Wiser and Bennett want to share
(03:48):
a cell because Blogoyevitch had a roommate in his cell.
I don't think maybe somebody could do a meme on this,
you know, kind of Bennett and Wiser sharing the cell
with the kind of the Blagoyevitch hairstyles. Yeah, because you're
not allowed to koifit as much in prison, I don't think.
(04:08):
But don't you think that's the play. Wiser is essentially
already out in my view, because he has not taken
advantage of this opening to pound Bennetts. So that's not
exactly somebody wants to win. And if he does want
to win, what Wiser has proven over the last few
days is he's not qualified to be governor because if
you can't see this opening and take it and start
(04:28):
throwing some punches, you're not tough enough to lead this day.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So true, and the point you make about leverage, if
it's about that and only that, Dan, then yeah, Phil
Wiser has it right now because no Goose has already
stepped aside and agreed not to run and endorse Bennett,
so he doesn't really have leverage in.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
The situation Wiser does.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Wiser's like, well, I'm in it, and if you want
me to not be in it, there's something you could.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Do, right, But then you run into this little problem
of Blagoyevitch. Right, So it can't be that direct, right,
you can't be selling the Senate s be that directed.
And you couldn't trust Michael Bennett on this. Jo Wiser
could not trust Bennett on this because from.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
The ethical standpoint, Dan and Clark made this point appointedly
with Bennett in an interview setting, and Bennett, I don't
think he's handled this very well at all. That goes
without saying he kind of pushed back on the Denver
Post reporting on Colorado's Morning News. But the only respectable
play here is if you're running for governor, then you're
running for governor. Then you set aside the Senate seat
(05:28):
and Jared Paulus, your buddy, your pal, your political colleague,
and Ally will appoint your replacement.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Why is that not good.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Enough for us? The reason it's not good enough is
He's not good enough. Right, Michael Bennett needs this hammer.
He needs this hammer to get the Democrat nomination. How
do you think he got those people standing behind him
at City Park? Everybody's hoping for the Senate seat. How's
he going to get wiser out of the race the
(05:57):
threat of Bennett's wit and wisdom and charm. No, it's
got to be hey, look what I've got. I got
something that's priceless. You could have a billion dollars and
you can't buy this. Look what I got. And it's
not just Hey, Phil, look what I got here? Follow
me around to chase it's it's Phil, you don't have
a prayer, because I got this and I'm gonna use
(06:20):
it to get all those people to line up behind
me at City Park and other places. So that's why
he's doing it as wrong as it is. And think
about this, think about what it proves about Michael Bennett.
What a totally dishonest hypocrite is all this talk about
DEI and Holier than though and equity, equity, equity, Look
(06:43):
at you could have. You could have a woman appointed
to the United States Senate tomorrow to morrow, you could
have a person of color appointed to the United States
Senate tomorrow. And who's standing in their way. Michael friggin'
Bennett is standing in their way. He's a total phony,
(07:04):
a total hypocrite. And all these Democrats who don't call
him out right now for that. You know, you got
all these old white men take it. They're either old
chronologically or they act old. But you got all these
old white men taking up all the big seats for
the party that pretends to care about people of color,
pretends to care about women, pretends to care about gender equity.
(07:26):
And Michael Bennett is single handedly preventing a woman or
a person of color from being in the United States
Senate next week. That's who he is. And every one
of those Democrats who don't call him out for it,
that's who they are. Hopefully the people of Colorado will
see it. So Wiser's already out right, all we're missing
(07:50):
is the announcement. So can we get a big screen
TV and give it to somebody if they get like
to the minute, because the day is going to be
too too easy, right, It's going to be someday, very soon.
And what do you think I'll say? What do you
think I'll say when he gets out? Oh? Do you
see this statement from the White House? This is beautiful
(08:12):
kind of what we predicted yesterday. Abrago Garcia is never
coming back to the US. So I think this goes
to what we were saying at the end of the
show yesterday, right, which is, hey, he may not stay
in our Salvador, but they're just going to take him
directly to the worst other place they can think of. Yeah, yeah, so,
(08:37):
but I hope they don't do that anytime soon, because
in the meantime, what a gift from the Democrats, right,
who've made this MS thirteen guy their their new hero.
I mean, what a beautiful thing. So we got a
lot to talk about. Neither of those topics we started
with were actually on our agenda today, but that's the
beauty of the show, right, you roll with what's happening
(08:59):
in the newsree someone three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
One thing I want to weave through our Good Friday
show today is those proof of God moments. They've occurred
in our country, they've occurred in your life. There are
so many cool stories and they can't be scientifically explained
(09:19):
or otherwise explained other than God. So let's weave those
through the show. Call or write any time on those
three or three someone three eight two five five texts
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show. Podcast was
mocking the space.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Mission so called of Gail King and Katy Perry, and
there was.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
What's her name the Lolorina Sanchez Bezos a squeeze well fiance. Well,
you know, do you read how much they plan to
spend on that way? How much? How much is too
much to spend spend on a wedding? I'd like to
hear from people on that. Three three someone three eight
two five five takes d A N five seven seven
(10:09):
three nine.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think we're gonna spend maybe two grand total, not
even probably less.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That is really impressive.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, we're really going on a budget here.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
That is no. I I think that is so cool,
so cool. I think we did too, because I think
we cut the guest list of four ninety nine from
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Did you seriously save a lot of money by getting
under that particular number?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh no, I was joking all I thought, and I
think it actually was five hundred. It was a cut line,
but I think it was five hundred. But it was a.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Good party by scale, it was a good party. Just
my take current.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I mean, if you're going to do a wedding and
do it right and do it big, I mean you're
spending what ten twenty grand?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Probably twenty grand.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's at least it's expensive. I'm looking up the Bezos wedding.
I've seen so many different estimates, but I do think
there's a and listen, I'm knowing to judge this sort
of thing, but I think there are just a certain
point where it's too much. Let's see this estimate is No,
(11:12):
that can't be right. Yeah, yeah, you can't spend one
hundred million on a wedding. And I'm not saying that million.
I'm not saying that that's just one story, and I
don't think it's I don't think it's even remotely reliable.
But we've read about some weddings where they spend that
or more right, let's go to Kathleen in Boulder. You're
on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Welcome, Thank you Dan, and an observation of working in
hospice for twenty years. I have witnessed many, many transitions
at the very end of life, as the patient became
a little more conscious and the arm went up towards heaven,
(11:58):
and I didn't say a word. I was in the room,
either finishing up the care or some other reason, so
I just quietly squatted down and looked to see could
I see anything? But I did not, But I watched
them and their face was magnificent, the patient's face. The
(12:22):
arm was up in the air like there was a
hand coming into That's how I and I saw it
with many patients as well as one family member, and
I said not a word, never asking anybody what happened.
It's magic.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, thank you, Kathleen, and thank you for the great
work that you've done. Wow, appreciate that. Hopefully get a
lot of calls like that. Today we're talking about proof
of God moments.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That is truly the work of angels what Kathleen does,
because when my mom was in hospice, I just have
to imagine, you know, the mental toughness that takes of
every day you're having terminal patients come in there, and
they show them so much grace and kindness and care. Yeah,
and we truly appreciated the care that my mom got there.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, no that I don't think you have
anybody working in hospice who's doing it for the money, right, yeah, yeah, no,
But I really look forward every year. We do it
sometimes on Good Friday, sometimes on other days, but just
those proof of God's stories and then you get to
some of the big ones, right like the United States
(13:33):
of America. But three or three someone three eight two
five five text d An five seven seven three night Dan.
Our wedding was under seven thousand, included round trip airfare
from Denver to Seattle. Took along my daughter and her
husband so they could witness. That's pretty cool, Dan. Last
Good Friday twenty twenty four, Dan ended up stuck in
traffic and Ryan held down the show. Brian from Arvada
(13:56):
called and started saying not nice things about the Catholic Church.
Ryan texted Dan and Dad handed an appropriate response. How
does she remember? I know that's impressive. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I remember it now that she mentions it. Yeah, I
wouldn't have before.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That, you know the Yeah, yeah, do.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You remember getting stuck in traffic that day?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know, I'm trying to remember it. I'm trying to remember.
There have been a few days that I've been I
must have been coming back from something. Yeah, yeah, Oh well,
thanks for remembering, Alexa. Yeah, yeah, okay, three or three
someone three eight two five five text d A N
five seven seven three nine. You were you were not
(14:39):
kind to Katie Perry. Here are her thoughts.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I hope they can see the unity that we modeled
and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking
up space. We were making space for the future. And for me,
like Yale said, this wasn't a ride. Who wasn't it destination?
It was a journey and it was a supernatural one.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And how many days were they up there?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
How do you think those astronauts that were trapped up
in space field after hearing that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Blue Origin is what is that like a ten minute deal?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
They didn't even really go into space.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Technically, Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't that long, was it. No,
sounds like it was very moving.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
For my journey has all always been about love and belonging,
and I think that we have all felt that sometimes
we weren't worthy or we didn't belong and in certain ways,
no matter all the accolades, no matter all the studying,
no matter anything. And I think today we all said
(15:48):
it like.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We belong here.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
This is where we belong, and we feel very sure
that that's.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Why I picked the song right there.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Wow, Wow, it must have been a very moving experience. Yeah,
what's the most like moving? Well, that's not a good
way to frame the question. I'll come up with a
better way to frame the question. But assuming that she's
being genuine there, you know, what do you think it'd
(16:16):
be about? Like a five minute ride up there? That
would be so transformative? And she kissed the ground when
she got back, right she did? Yeah, so what what
would that be? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I've heard some people describe when they see the Grand
Canyon for the first time, you know, something wondrous like that,
that you know it's a moving experience.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, yeah, oh listen, I think that stuff can happen. Man,
I think that's the way we're designed, the way we're created, right,
I mean, the beauty of God is seen in the
beauty of creation, and I can tell you for me,
And there's been plenty of stuff around here. I can
still remember the first time I ever saw the Rockies
(16:56):
coming over that sceneic go overlook. I mean, really so
into Boulder, because I'd never traveled a Boulder before the
day I arrived there to start school. You know, there
wasn't money back in those days for that kind of travel,
and so I remember that vividly. But Africa, I'm telling you,
Africa was a and I don't mean to get all bolder,
but Africa was a truly spiritual experience. And I know
(17:18):
that the animals will do that to you, right because
I mean, yeah, you look at an elephant close up,
and you look at atheists and say, can you even
think about being an atheist? But to me it was.
And we're down in the Serengetti you look at just
as far as I can see these beautiful, wide open spaces,
and there's just no doubt in that moment. I Mean,
(17:41):
I came in with my own belief, but there's just
no doubt in that moment, right about the creator. So
I understand, I mean, I'm not mocking them. I get
how certain experiences, even lasting for a few minutes can
be transformative. You're on the Dan Kapitlo.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
He's a fake.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I know, I know, I'm all.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
They're all fake and they have no interest in that prisoner.
That prisoner's record is unbelievably bad.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
A talk about how evil.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I am that this man would be thrown.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Out of our card.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
This man is a, according to certified statements that we get,
is a very violent person. And they want this man
to be brought back into our country where he can
be free.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And to say, is a.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Happily Maryland you know, happily.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
They call him the Maryland man.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
He's a Maryland father.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Now here's a violent person.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
MSNBC wasn't liking the details so much. On a Breago Garcia.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
In twenty nineteen, Garcia was issued a deportation order two
separate judges of firm. Garcia was a member of MS thirteen,
which is a game that maybe even work.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We've been watching President Donald Trump there swearing in the
new administrator. They can't hand all the truth. Anyway, I
hope you're having a very meaningful, good Friday. And it
goes to the topic we're talking about yesterday, Ryan, which
is just is the explosion the surge in Christianity Colorado
(19:22):
and across the country. And it may be the same
for Jewish brothers and sisters as well. I just obviously
am not in synagogue, et cetera, so it may very
well be the same. But I'll tell you it is
so fantastic to see. I mean, you know, just this
morning and most Christians I think we'll go to services
at normally either nine in the morning, noon or three
(19:44):
in the afternoon. And nine in the morning, it was
just absolutely packed, and I have no doubt it was
just all over the state, as most services are these days.
It's just, yeah, there's something very good happen. And what
do you think triggered all of that? Let's go to
a beautiful El Paso County. Lauren, you're on the Dan
(20:06):
Capitol Show. Hey, we're doing the show from Denver Metro today,
Actually from Denver. Is it still snowing down there?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
It's actually doing pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, well it should be sunny by mid afternoon tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I'll be nice. I'm great for Easter, I hope.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh perfect.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Well, I'll be at my church celebrating.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Perfect what Mass? And then how early do you go
to get it?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
I'm a non denominational Christmas Okay, Christians' math Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Let's see.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
I'll be there at eight am for a men's meeting
and then Sunday school and then the regular church service,
and we'll have special music and stuff like that, so
until about eight leave a little afternoon.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Wow, I'll tell you. In the Catholic church, you better
get there early. So I'm the guy at my job
to go out there like an hour before on Christmas
or Easter and steak out a seat. And which brings
a tremendous question, is it ever okay to look at
your cell phone in church? Like if you get there
an hour before the service? Is it okay to look
(21:12):
at your phone at least until like a half hour before?
But anyway, Lauren, I know that's not what you're called.
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
So you were talking about weddings and how much is
too much? And I probably have like one of the
more interesting wedding stories I give you the short story
a little bit of details. So my wife and I
met in a war zone, another storm, we eloped and
we crashed someone else's wedding party, is the short story.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
That's awesome, that's efficient, and it cost us less than
fifty bucks for our wedding.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
We were in I was stationed in Germany. She was
in the United States in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. And when
they let me out of the Middle East to go back,
they gave me three days leave. Thirty days leave, went back,
visited her. We decided to get married. Just before we left,
(22:06):
we got the rings. We went to a paddle boat
captain who was a registered minister, and he's like, tell
you what, Friday night, I've got a wedding party here,
but they're not taking up the entire boat for the
cost of the dinner cruise. You and your two witnesses
can sit in the back. I'll give you dinner. You
can come up afterwards and we'll do your wedding. So
we've got pictures of this paddle boat deck to the hill.
(22:28):
N was somebody else's nice wedding and it cost us, like, listen,
fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Dad is really smart. Well, hey man, thanks for your
service and thanks to the great story. That is cool.
Have you ever crashed a wedding like done the real
wedding crashers thing?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Well, I didn't crash the wedding, but it was my
buddy Cody Tucker, who actually runs his own website covering
Wyoming sports just north here in Cheyenne. And it was
my producer at the time in Lansing, Jason Nick. And
he was an interesting, colorful character, and his presence wasn't
exactly wanted at the wedding by the bride to be,
(23:04):
and yet he showed up anyway, and yes he made
a scene, and no it did not go over well, Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I wonder if anybody does the real like wedding crashing
thing like you saw in the movie.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I kinda believe it's a thing. I mean it looks fun.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, great, great movie, great promise, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I just yeah, I've got to make up a backsta.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I have not done it myself, Texter says Dan Rushlinbaugh.
Just paid Elton John Well, couldn't have been just, but
paid Elton John a cool million dollars to sing at
his wedding. I'm surprised Ryan didn't speak on that one
while taking shots at Ryan on this show. Well there
for two hours ago, I.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just thought, I'm such a rush devote, and yes I
was aware of that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, I'm so happy to see this text because as
I was preparing for the show, because Good Friday, you know,
we talk about proof of God. We do it in
some other shows as well, because there are so many
cool stories out there right where there's no scientific explanation
for what happened, and it's proof one of those proof
of God moments. But I was thinking about this in
connection with some of the ones I was going to
(24:06):
give today. Dan the bullet missing Trump's head was proof
of God that from Kevin actually hit him. It was
interesting in the physical the president just did, which obviously
passed of flying colors, right, and even the left couldn't
quibble on that, because all you have to do is
watch the guy. Remember when Biden used to say, just
(24:26):
watch me. Yeah, Trump is like, you know, who can
keep up with Trump? It not all physically, just physically
with Trump, it's mentally, but you know, just dealing with
four reporters at once, et cetera. When Biden would have
or any of these lefties would have went fleeing and terror,
(24:48):
but it did hit him that turned up in his
physical discoar in his ear. But I do personally consider
that a proof of God moment. I believe there was
divine intervention. And you know, some people say, sometimes, well, okay,
if it was divine intervention, why you know, why did
God intervene there? Why didn't he intervene to save Corey,
(25:10):
et cetera. Which are all great questions, right, I don't
claim to have all the answers to all this. We
are not we are not meant to be, in my opinion,
to be capable of understanding everything. Think about it. I mean,
we think we're so smart. It wasn't that long ago
we didn't know how to build a car. I mean,
it was not that long ago we did not know
(25:31):
how to build a car. It wasn't that long ago
we humans didn't know how to build an airplane. So yeah,
but I personally believe my own personal belief is a
that God did intervene there to say President Trump, and
B As to why, I think the starting point is
(25:54):
you have to go back to the founders, right, you
want to talk about proof of God. I agree with
the founders founders believed that the only way that they
were going to succeed when the Revolutionary War, when independence
was with divine providence. And I think they're right because
when you looked at the landscape, they were at least
one hundred to one underdogs in what's now called Las Vegas.
(26:15):
And so that's why they ended the declaration of independence
that way, right, with reliance on divine providence. We pledged
you our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honors. So I
do believe just the creation of this nation major moment
of divine providence. If it wasn't for the United States
of America, the entire world would have been taken over
(26:35):
by darkness at least in the mid forties. And so
I believe that and just personal belief. I can't prove
it that God did intervene in that Butler Fielding part
to save America because think about what would have happened
if that evil assassin and whoever was involved with them.
(26:58):
I don't believe for a second year alone, but think
about what would have happened if he would have succeeded,
which obviously he was going to. I mean, the only
reason he didn't is this miraculous, perfectly timed head turn
this nation. What do you think that would have looked like?
And I'd love to take some calls and text on
this three or three someone three eight two five five
(27:20):
text d an five seven seven three nine. This nation
would have been immediately plunged into a non physical civil war.
And by that I mean it would not have been
a physically violent civil war, but it would have ripped
this nation apart immediately in an extraordinarily dangerous and damaging way.
(27:47):
And this nation is the single greatest hope on the
face of the earth for religious freedom and for freedom
to prevail against evil. Think of all the evil forces
in the world right now, and all the evil forces
that existed in the world the day that assassin lined
up on Trump's head in Butler and and if Trump
(28:10):
had not miraculously turned his head is think about Think
about where the world would be right now with evil
remaining on the march this nation in this non physical
internal civil war. Yeah, so I do believe God interviewed
in that field. Hey, welcome back to our great callers, Texters.
(28:32):
Hope you're having a meaningful good Friday. You're on the
Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Force than Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why because
he wasn't the worst president.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Joe Biden was so only Trump, right, I had nobody
else on the face of the earth is is going
to say that three h three someone three eight two
five five The number takes d an five seven seven
three nine. I mean this everybody can agree on, right,
that there has never been a funnier president. Lincoln was
(29:13):
certainly witty and all of the great sense of humor,
all these tremendous sayings everything else, but nobody's been funnier
and Reagan and joke see, and he could deliver him
really well, it could be pretty funny. He could have tied.
But Trump just relentlessly funny, relentlessly funny.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah. So if you just joined us, thank you. It's
good Friday. And so we're talking about proof of God moments,
which is always really cool, right because there's so many
of these that cannot be scientifically explained and just kind
of add to the obvious that yes, God exists. But
to hear it from callers and talk about some of
these is is really a cool reminder. We got off
(29:55):
on the topic of weddings because I think we were
what we were talking about Bezos the Origin and how
much his wedding was going to cost. Some reports say
two or three hundred million. How much is too much
to spend on a wedding? Eric in Denver, You're on
the Dan Kapitlis show, Welcome in, and I wonder what
the typical wedding is costing these days, because it's got
to be ginormous. Even a small wedding has to be ginormous. Haeric,
(30:19):
are you doing? Hi? Dan?
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Great American?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No greater than you, not as great as you did?
Speaker 7 (30:25):
My jocks?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
When did I do that?
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I had you even pull over to text you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh, I'm glad you pulled over.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Tim Baugh, Yeah, Rush Wimba spent just alone, spent a
cool million. That's how I phraised it in the text message. Well,
because I was telling Kelly, I mean a million dollars
was like twenty bucks to rush them.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Bah and how many songs did Elton Shem play for that?
Because they think's going right now?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
If you want like a Beyonce or somebody to come in,
if you're a shake and come in and do force
right is isn't it like five or ten million? Now
I'll looked it up.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
I don't know, but it surprised me, to be honest
with you, Ken Liberal, seeing at Russia's wedding. But that's
what Castro wants.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You for making that point, because this is something we
get into on the show all the time, Eric, because
people have dogged me because since Caroline was a little girl,
you know, our father, one of our father daughter things
has been to go to Taylor Swift concerts, like we
drove to al Maha and see the ones in Denver
and Chicago. But uh, but they dogged me because, oh,
she's a lefty. But look at Rush at Elton John right.
Because I'm a firm believer you should not let any
(31:38):
of that get in the way of enjoying somebody's artistry.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
I was. I was there at that wedding, I tell
you me, and I would have tried a Rush's yeah
and Russia.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I'd have brought Ryan with me and my wife because
you know he's a I didn't even text Ryan on
his texting machine calling him all Rush Limbaugh of Colorado,
and he didn't know that Rush Limbaugh spent a million,
a cool million, you know, at his wedding. That's what
I was Ryan.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm surprised he did not know that. But Eric appreciate
the call, my friend. How long you been married?
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Oh, I'm the divorce to mine first wife. I got
a second winning Okay about three years.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, you're just getting going, just getting warmed up. But
enjoy that, my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Appreciate the call. Three or three someone three eight two
five five d and five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I always appreciate Eric picking up the pieces because I
can't catch every.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Guy, no, Eric, And Eric is very very good about it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
He did a good job there. Yeah, very very.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Good about that. I do have to say, if you
don't mind a little humble brag. One of the coolest
moments of my life was when my phone started exploding
like off the chain. When Rush Limbaugh mentioned me on
his show Praise some commentary i'd done.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I wish I could find that audio.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You gotta find that audio, and then I promised to
stop talking about it. If you find the audio, I
won't talk about it anymore because we'll just play it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Well, I remember it's in Michael Brown's intro for his
morning show here locally in Denver on six point thirty km.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Brownie wus Rush himself said, Brownie, oh, okay, like that, Well,
we got to find it.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That was the context that he mentioned.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It was in connection with the with the Rodney King case, okay.
And I was out in LA I was doing commentary
for I think he saw it in the Washington Post
maybe USA today and and he just said, you know,
I'm paraphrasing. If there's one legal expert in the country
to follow on this case, it's this Dan Caplis guy
on Denver.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Okay. One, that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Two.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is there any way you'd be able to narrow it
down on a date, because what I'm willing to do
for you I can okay, because I'd be willing to
go into his archives or contact his producer, mister Snerdley,
who follows me on X Oh that's so cool, and
try to reach out to him say is there any
way thank you narrow this down and find it, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Can we get into the Choa archives? Would they go
back that far? Because I could probably narrow it down
to a week or two. I think we'd have more
lot going through snardly. Okay, okay, good job, well, thank you. No,
that would be an amazing thing. Dan says a Texter.
I have to disagree with you. I'm not condoning it,
but I do feel the US would have been in
a physical civil war at Trump and assassinated. And we've
(34:30):
been talking about proof of God moments. I personally do
believe that God intervened in that field in Butler, and
then we were talking about what America in the world
would look like today if that evil assassin and his
cohorts had succeeded. So when we come back, what are
your proof of God moments? On this good Friday yere
on the Dan Kapla Show.
