Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Remember twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: seems like a lifetime ago. Remember New York Times. It
Speaker 1: was mid October of twenty sixteen. New York Times had
Speaker 1: that little meter going and Hillary Clinton had a ninety
Speaker 1: four percent chance of winning. And that's in mid October, right,
Speaker 1: And there are so many similarities. The fact is that
Speaker 1: Trump is in a much stronger position right now than
Speaker 1: he was in twenty sixteen, and all of the ingredients
Speaker 1: are there for a massive grassroots explosion in turnout and
Speaker 1: support that Dwarf's twenty sixteen. So it's all right there
Speaker 1: in front of us. And Ryan, I mean, you can
Speaker 1: start to see the headlines now, right. You can start
Speaker 1: to see the headlines the day or the week after
Speaker 1: the election, because Pennsylvania Democrat run Pennsylvania's already tell me
Speaker 1: to say, we're not going to have the results on
Speaker 1: election night. It might take days, but whenever it does
Speaker 1: come in, you can just that the S word is
Speaker 1: going to dominate the regime. Media shocked, shocked, and then
Speaker 1: the R word racism, but shocked shocking results shocking, this
Speaker 1: shocking that. Now if you listen to this show, it's
Speaker 1: not going to be a shock. And there are just
Speaker 1: so many similarities. But here are the differences. Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: as awful as you would have been for this nation,
Speaker 1: far superior in terms of skills, capability for the office,
Speaker 1: et cetera than Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: And everybody can see that.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're both crazy lefties and all that, but
Speaker 1: in terms of just ability to do the job, ability
Speaker 1: to at least stand on the same stage as all
Speaker 1: of the truly straight from hell evil dictators that now
Speaker 1: hold power around this world, at least Hillary Clinton could
Speaker 1: stand on the same stage with them, credibly. Now, policy
Speaker 1: is secondary, Kamala Harris, no reason person can picture that
Speaker 1: with any degree of comfort.
Speaker 3: If I had to choose between the two, I would
Speaker 3: much rather have Hillary Clinton in a room one on
Speaker 3: one against Vladimir Putin er Jijinping than Kamala Harris. I
Speaker 3: don't think that's a tough call. But Dan, I want
Speaker 3: to go back to something earlier. He said, because this
Speaker 3: is what really troubles me. I think you and I
Speaker 3: are both in agreement that this entire election probably turns
Speaker 3: on Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania not only the Keystone State, but the
Speaker 3: Keystone state in this election. But what I have a
Speaker 3: problem with, and it's a big problem, especially after the
Speaker 3: issues they had in the twenty twenty election, is that
Speaker 3: Texas has forty electoral votes, Florida has thirty electoral votes,
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania only has nineteen. And yet we know the election
Speaker 3: results in Texas and Florida. Oh the night of the election. Now,
Speaker 3: how is that possible there? But they can't do it
Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, And listen understand, I grew up in Chicago, where
Speaker 1: my dad is a Chicago police officer, got in trouble
Speaker 1: because he was assigned tonight off duty job in uniform
Speaker 1: to a polling station on election day. He walked in
Speaker 1: there before he found Democrat votes.
Speaker 2: On the machine.
Speaker 1: And he was a Democrat, of course, so of course
Speaker 1: my dad, a stand up officer, he reported it.
Speaker 2: That did not go over well.
Speaker 1: Oh and that's not a commendation condemnation of Chicago police,
Speaker 1: it's just whoever was running that priescinct. But listen, we
Speaker 1: all know that there are certain states where there has
Speaker 1: been a history of shadiness and so so, yeah, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the twenty twenty election was stolen. I've never
Speaker 1: seen proof of that. But it also doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: you can't verify, that you can't ask fair questions. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing that the left wants to shut down
Speaker 1: any talk of verification, you know, any talk of ensuring
Speaker 1: a fair process, by saying, oh, no, you're an election denier. No,
Speaker 1: I'm an election verifier. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: elections are fair. I've never denied the outcome of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, but yeah, I think it raised a
Speaker 1: lot of justifiable concern in Ron DeSantis. I retweeted that
Speaker 1: coming out and saying, wait, we're bigger in Florida, and
Speaker 1: you get your results election night. They can do the
Speaker 1: same thing exactly. But all I'm saying is this, and
Speaker 1: then I want to get into the hard data that
Speaker 1: supports me on this. Expect that after the election, the
Speaker 1: word shocking is going to dominate all the headlines for
Speaker 1: the regime media.
Speaker 2: But it's not.
Speaker 1: Shocking if you listen to this show, because even after
Speaker 1: this unprecedented three weeks in America neuro death experience for
Speaker 1: the Democrats, Trump has beaten Biden and now he Biden's
Speaker 1: deposed by the cabal.
Speaker 2: They install Harris.
Speaker 1: Harris gets three weeks of beatification and Trump's still winning.
Speaker 1: They even accelerot acknowledges and Harris is internals. Trump's still winning.
Speaker 1: Imagine when those polls start to drop, PRIs. I'll give
Speaker 1: you a little preview, Young Ryan schuling big headline on
Speaker 1: CNN in the last hour, just just decrying the twenty
Speaker 1: lies and this and that with Trump on X last night.
Speaker 1: It is blowing their little minds that Trump is actually
Speaker 1: fighting back because they assumed, wait a second, okay, once
Speaker 1: we outmaneuvered you and all right, Biden, but then we
Speaker 1: installed Harris. It's like, oh no, no, no, no, Now, it's
Speaker 1: just a first class trip to election day for Harris.
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't get to fight back. They're losing their minds
Speaker 1: just over that X thing last night. Imagine when the
Speaker 1: polls start to turn and what we're starting to see
Speaker 1: little signs there, including Morning Console, which has been very
Speaker 1: kind to Harris. And listen, you can't read much into this, right,
Speaker 1: It's one day one point, but it stopped rising and
Speaker 1: it dropped a point today.
Speaker 2: May mean nothing right.
Speaker 1: Over the long term, but you've got these little indicators
Speaker 1: out there. The CNBC poll with Trump up to and
Speaker 1: how about this one, Ryan, I think a fair question
Speaker 1: raised as I go back to the phone lines. You
Speaker 1: can't conclude anything from it. But but I don't think
Speaker 1: there's been but one national poll released since Harris chose Wallz.
Speaker 1: And why is that You're telling me that the whole industry,
Speaker 1: this whole left regime leaning industry, hasn't done four or
Speaker 1: five or six national polls since then. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that Waltz is helping her at all. The stolen valor
Speaker 1: plus the guy, let's face it, he's a far left clown.
Speaker 1: And I don't use pejordives. I'm just talking about. He
Speaker 1: comes across as a clown, I think to an awful
Speaker 1: lot of people, including me. But the stolen valor stuff,
Speaker 1: I think tells everything you need to know. Dan and Centennial.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Hi guys, thanks for having me. Sure, Hey, I
Speaker 4: got two things to comment on as you can. One.
Speaker 4: I think you're dead on accurate Dan, that they got
Speaker 4: so much dirt on Biden that connects him to so
Speaker 4: many other themes with Obama and Hillary and you know
Speaker 4: the previous administration that if they need to to cover themselves.
Speaker 2: Well his own corruption. What do you think Hunter was selling?
Speaker 1: And does anybody in the right mind think that tax
Speaker 1: evasion trial is going forward in September? So let's have
Speaker 1: a little pool here, guys. Let's everybody throw in five bucks.
Speaker 1: When does the pardon come down?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 2: When does the pardon come down?
Speaker 1: Because he's got to pardon him and make that trial
Speaker 1: go way in September unless they get a kick continued.
Speaker 4: Yep, there's one more comment I wanted to make two
Speaker 4: while on phone. People two things. Really they're they're watching
Speaker 4: these elections better now. We've got a whole lot of
Speaker 4: teams that are making sure it might not be perfect yet,
Speaker 4: but like Virginia is mandating paper ballots, you know. So
Speaker 4: there's a whole lot of things going down right now
Speaker 4: that are going to help us. And people are way
Speaker 4: underestimating the power of social media. This time, Ruth Rumble,
Speaker 4: people are informed way better than last time.
Speaker 1: Boy Dan, thank you for that call. I think that
Speaker 1: is such a great point, and they're informed about Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris right because people aren't stupid. And Kamala Harris has
Speaker 1: been VP for three years and she had lowest I
Speaker 1: think approval rating of a VP in modern history. The
Speaker 1: American people know enough about her already, and I'm talking
Speaker 1: the the persuadable people in the middle know enough about
Speaker 1: her already to know they don't want her as president.
Speaker 1: The only question now is whether Donald Trump is acceptable
Speaker 1: to them, and that's why we need the a Trump.
Speaker 1: I thought Ryan, from what I heard, and lord knows
Speaker 1: I didn't hear at all, I thought he was pretty
Speaker 1: good on Twitter last night.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was having fun with Elon. I thought
Speaker 3: it was an interesting conversation with free flowing. There were
Speaker 3: no interruptions or breaks, and I think it allowed for
Speaker 3: a very special kind of platform and relatability to the audience. Meanwhile, Dan,
Speaker 3: you talkt we need a Trump, we do, But what
Speaker 3: grade can Kamala run this race? I'd say she's had
Speaker 3: like a cus right now if that and still win.
Speaker 3: This just in from Peter Doucey and Fox News. She
Speaker 3: ditches the press pool to make a trip to Howard University,
Speaker 3: her alma mater.
Speaker 6: Something new tonight.
Speaker 7: As the presumptive nominee Vice President, Harris is supposed to
Speaker 7: travel everywhere she goes with a protective press pool. We
Speaker 7: just learned that she left her press pool behind to
Speaker 7: attend an event at Howard University yesterday. We've reached out
Speaker 7: to her office. We are waiting back. We are awaiting
Speaker 7: an answer back from them as to why she didn't
Speaker 7: want a small group of reporters documenting her trip across town.
Speaker 1: It'll be very interesting to see because obviously the reporters
Speaker 1: are essentially part of her team, part of her staff.
Speaker 1: But it'll be very interesting to see whether we see
Speaker 1: more cracks. And when we come back, you're gonna thoroughly
Speaker 1: enjoy this sound of a CNN anchor mocking, mocking her
Speaker 1: chief spokesperson today because she's hiding from interviews. It's a
Speaker 1: tone you do not often hear. And then the most
Speaker 1: fun sound of the day on Stephen Colbert with the
Speaker 1: CNN anchor and the reaction of the audience not at
Speaker 1: all what Colbert or the anchor wanted. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dankplas Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to The Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 8: Tim Walls wants to be a heartbeat away from commander
Speaker 8: in chief. But Tim Walls's line about his military record.
Speaker 5: For years, he's used the rank that he never achieved
Speaker 5: in order to advance his political career.
Speaker 8: Well's lyde repeatedly about his rank.
Speaker 1: Retired command sergeant major, retired command sergeant major, command Sergt Major.
Speaker 2: Retired command sergeant major.
Speaker 8: Wall's lyde about being in combat can.
Speaker 9: Make sure that those weapons of war that I carried
Speaker 9: in war, that I carried in war.
Speaker 8: Wall's dodge deployment by retiring when he knew his National
Speaker 8: Guard unit was going to Iraq.
Speaker 2: Everybody knew they were going to train, and what I
Speaker 2: rid the warning.
Speaker 3: Order basically stated it too much later after he knew
Speaker 3: it fast.
Speaker 8: When he hired, Wall's disparaged the Minnesota National Guard soldiers.
Speaker 3: Hearsaid, I requested the National Guard, we're gonna have massively
Speaker 3: trained troops.
Speaker 2: No, you're gonna have nineteen year old who are cooks.
Speaker 8: That same Minnesota National Guard that he disparaged. Unlike Walls,
Speaker 8: served heroically in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tim Wallas is not
Speaker 8: fit to be anywhere near the office of Commander in Chief.
Speaker 8: Tim Walls is guilty of stolen valor.
Speaker 2: He abandoned us, you know, I mean, what the hell
Speaker 2: kind of leader does that? Wow? Wow?
Speaker 1: And the biggest mistake political mistake in modern American history
Speaker 1: right there. And Ryan, you know, I'm an eternal optimist,
Speaker 1: and I truly spread joy on this show, not the
Speaker 1: phony stuff kamalas paddling.
Speaker 6: True, but.
Speaker 1: I first and foremost owe you the truth. I owe
Speaker 1: everybody the truth, whether it brings joy or tears. What
Speaker 1: do you think the headline just was on CNN? Oh, boy,
Speaker 1: on the yes, on the fair Quest online, No on
Speaker 1: the TV, on the Chiro.
Speaker 6: Something ripping Trump for what he said on the X spaces.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but here was the top of the hour headline,
Speaker 1: Walls praises Muslim leader who posted anti Semitic comment.
Speaker 6: CNN had that, yes, oh.
Speaker 2: And why do you think they had that?
Speaker 6: They want to switch him out.
Speaker 2: They want them out, Yes, yes, they want him out.
Speaker 6: Such a self owned too, Dan.
Speaker 3: When you think about it, and you and I have
Speaker 3: talked about this, Shapiro was a slam dunk, obvious, but
Speaker 3: right you and I were on that square like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's who they're going to pick.
Speaker 6: It'll give them Pennsylvania to go their way.
Speaker 1: Not bright pick here right because of not not Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris's anti semitism. But when you yield to the anti
Speaker 1: semitism within your party, are you any better than the
Speaker 1: anti Semites are? But come on, Shapiro was the obvious
Speaker 1: no brainer, and thank god for us in the Trump
Speaker 1: campaign that she didn't do it. But as I've been
Speaker 1: talking about, since she made that big mistake, they've got
Speaker 1: time to fix it.
Speaker 2: And when they've got.
Speaker 1: The entire media in their pocket, you know, then at
Speaker 1: that point they've got less concern about doing it now.
Speaker 1: Bottom line, And I'd love to hear from you as
Speaker 1: we cover a lot of other ground right now, do
Speaker 1: you think it would help her hurt the Harris campaign
Speaker 1: to dump walls? And make no mistake about it, CNN
Speaker 1: does not lead with that headline unless they're trying to
Speaker 1: dump walls.
Speaker 2: And CNN doesn't.
Speaker 1: Lead with that headline unless they're an awful lot of
Speaker 1: people within the Democratic Party who want to dump walls.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've even got Van Jones on Cena who
Speaker 1: flat out went out and said it that you know,
Speaker 1: they passed on Shapiro because of anti semitism within the party.
Speaker 2: So they've got time, They've got time. He'll be what
Speaker 2: formally is he formally nominated next Tuesday? Is that the timeline?
Speaker 1: But yeah, they are leaking oil big time with walls
Speaker 1: and I'll get to some more of that sound. But
Speaker 1: on a lighter note, you've got to hear this. You're
Speaker 1: gonna love this. This is Stephen Colbert. He has Caitlin
Speaker 1: Collins on as a guest. And by the way, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know her politics are opposite mine, but I think
Speaker 1: she's one of the top two or three anchors on
Speaker 1: air right now, I mean just in terms of ability
Speaker 1: and everything else. So he has her on last night
Speaker 1: as her star rises, and then please listen carefully to
Speaker 1: what happens here. When toward the end of a riff,
Speaker 1: he says to her that CNN is objective and reports
Speaker 1: the new news as it is completely unprompted.
Speaker 2: Listen to what the audience does.
Speaker 10: Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this,
Speaker 10: and he's not really sure how to go after Vice
Speaker 10: President Harris. He knew his attack lines on President Biden.
Speaker 10: He really has struggled with how to go after someone
Speaker 10: who's twenty years younger than him, who is a different gender,
Speaker 10: a different right. It's kind of been this moment where
Speaker 10: he has not been able to coalesce around a single
Speaker 10: attack line.
Speaker 11: I know you guys are objective over there, that you
Speaker 11: just report the news as it is.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know a CNN makes it.
Speaker 12: And I know that's supposed to be.
Speaker 7: A lab line. I wasn't supposed to be, but I
Speaker 7: guess it is.
Speaker 1: This is why I say it's twenty sixteen all over again.
Speaker 1: And that's like my exhibit see. But that was completely spontaneous.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a laugh line. When he says I know
Speaker 1: you're objective over there, and his audience and that's not
Speaker 1: a bunch of maga, right, his audience.
Speaker 2: Just starts breaking up laughing.
Speaker 1: I mean that that tells you the people get it.
Speaker 1: The people get it. That's why this is twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: all over again. Let me give you another taste of
Speaker 1: CNN because this was unusual, as this main anchor there
Speaker 1: is actually mocking and taunting. John Berman is mocking and
Speaker 1: taunting Harris's spokesperson over her dodging the press and the
Speaker 1: means I.
Speaker 11: Was asking about today. It seems like she has time
Speaker 11: if she wanted to do an interview with a member
Speaker 11: of the media or do a news conference. Correct, there
Speaker 11: does appear to be that time if she wanted.
Speaker 6: Well, look, she.
Speaker 13: Has sat on the campaign trail that she would be
Speaker 13: doing an interview at some point. She said that, I
Speaker 13: think last week during during a ropeline or when she
Speaker 13: was talking to reporters. But look, what is the important here, John,
Speaker 13: is that she is taking her message directly to the
Speaker 13: American people. She had a number of balloground stays. I
Speaker 13: think we had fifteen thousand people in Detroit.
Speaker 1: But he's not letting her go and think about how
Speaker 1: to Chris is it's like a Saturday in life skit.
Speaker 1: She Oh, she's she said she'd do anne interview. She's
Speaker 1: the presidential the kendidate who's their nominee, though she didn't
Speaker 1: get a single vote in a single primary, and she's
Speaker 1: talking about doing an interview.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just mocking herself. But not today, not today.
Speaker 11: She could do an interview today, I would think, you know,
Speaker 11: because she's not out there today.
Speaker 13: Well, look, she's taking her message directly to voters. And
Speaker 13: just because she doesn't have anything an interview schedule on
Speaker 13: our public schedule doesn't mean that she's not taking your
Speaker 13: message directly.
Speaker 1: To see it's Do you think it's starting to sink
Speaker 1: in with the American people? I come on, it's summer,
Speaker 1: but the folks in the middle who aren't decided. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably not starting to sink in yet, but you can
Speaker 1: tell it's starting to aggrevate the media, particularly as the
Speaker 1: media starts to get other indicators that maybe Harris is
Speaker 1: peaking out. I don't think she'll peak until after the
Speaker 1: DNC next week, but who knows. Maybe this sugar high
Speaker 1: has already sucked up a lot of that room to move.
Speaker 3: Now, Dan, you and I have discussed this and we've
Speaker 3: been a little bit out of sync and that you
Speaker 3: thought the media would willingly carry this water. But what
Speaker 3: I'm here and there from John Berman, and he was
Speaker 3: not alone in doing this. Also, Sarah Sidner, same network,
Speaker 3: CNN called it out with Eric Swallwell, that's cut twenty
Speaker 3: eight on your list, by the way, but they're not
Speaker 3: really having it. And then what happened with Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 3: Caitlin Collins seemed genuinely shocked that the audience laughed at
Speaker 3: them being a serious news network. Do you think she's
Speaker 3: really surprised that people don't think they're on the.
Speaker 2: Think of the bubble they live in mind. You're right,
Speaker 2: that's why.
Speaker 1: And this is a Harris bubble, right, This is like
Speaker 1: a dot com bubble because once it bursts, and once
Speaker 1: your numbers start moving down, you're gonna have one of
Speaker 1: the great moments of your life.
Speaker 2: All of us here on adulterated panic on the left.
Speaker 2: Can't wait. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Were talking about how how dare we wish merry Christmas?
Speaker 6: The people?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 6: How dare we speak merry Christmas?
Speaker 2: How dare we sounds joyful? Merry Christmas? Everyone?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I wonder how long it takes Joe Rogan to come
Speaker 1: back to Trump. Ryan, are you going to bring our
Speaker 1: distinguished guests up? Or are you going to trust me
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do that, but Kelly's type and stump.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, Well you're gonna trust me with it? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, wonderful, good decision on your part.
Speaker 2: Hey, really happy to go to the IP line.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time of state reps, Ryan Arma, Gostin, Scott
Speaker 1: Bottoms forty six and fifteen, respectively, Republicans who are kind
Speaker 1: enough to visit with us to discuss this to a
Speaker 1: caucus that seems to be in the works. Guys, welcome
Speaker 1: to the dan Caplas show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having us.
Speaker 2: Hey, appreciate the time. Ryan, what's up with this?
Speaker 12: Well, this has been something that I think we all
Speaker 12: know just from the past two years. The legislation that
Speaker 12: we've seen going forward has been pretty blatant, all out
Speaker 12: attack on our Second Amendment rights in Colorado, and it's
Speaker 12: gone on the national level that's been rejected for the
Speaker 12: most part. On the state level, it's been a little
Speaker 12: less resistance, I guess, so we need to take a
Speaker 12: different approach to this and arguing with people in committee
Speaker 12: hearings over all of these outlandish bills.
Speaker 5: There's no way to.
Speaker 12: Change anyone's mind there, and the only way to really
Speaker 12: change minds is to inform people and educate people on firearms.
Speaker 12: And I think that's the key approach to this, is
Speaker 12: just not only protecting our Second a Meenment rights, our
Speaker 12: right to keep the bare arms, but also informing and
Speaker 12: educating people that are running these legislative disasters that have
Speaker 12: come down from uninformed decision makers, uninformed lawmakers, and uninformed
Speaker 12: entities that are influencing these lawmakers. So I want to
Speaker 12: get more people involved through education and information, safety and
Speaker 12: ownership of firearms as well as manufacturing everything that goes
Speaker 12: along with it, because not only are they affecting the
Speaker 12: citizens of Colorado, but firearms businesses in Colorado are taking
Speaker 12: a huge hit and they're all getting chased out of state.
Speaker 12: So we need to protect not only our citizens and constituents,
Speaker 12: but our businesses that are trying to thrive in Colorado
Speaker 12: and have to pack up their family to leave because
Speaker 12: they're being attacked for doing what they do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense, Scott Bottoms, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: So what form is this going to take? What's it
Speaker 1: going to look like?
Speaker 5: Well, there's a few things. We're really trying to get
Speaker 5: some Democrats on board with us. We're trying to make
Speaker 5: this part partisan, and we've we've been shopping this around.
Speaker 5: There's actually quite a few Democrats that own firearms and
Speaker 5: our shooters and they enjoy Dat's range. Also, they're kind
Speaker 5: of pressured by their talkers not to verbialize that so much,
Speaker 5: but this's going to be an opportunity for them to
Speaker 5: interact with us and communicate, and then that gives us
Speaker 5: the ability to look at different types of legislation. But
Speaker 5: this is also going to be bigger than just the
Speaker 5: House and the Senate. This is going to be for
Speaker 5: constituents out there to really be educated also and to
Speaker 5: have some really good interactions some days at the range
Speaker 5: where we can teach and develop people and just show
Speaker 5: them in a bigger picture what firearms are in the
Speaker 5: not just the industry, but actually the enjoyment of having firearms.
Speaker 1: See, that's awesome. And are you going to have a
Speaker 1: website or how are you going to facilitate that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we take on a website that will be that
Speaker 5: we'll have opportunity to go on there. You could be
Speaker 5: a part of this. You can actually donate, you can
Speaker 5: do different things like that that should be coming online
Speaker 5: here pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Wonderful And again, have you labeled it yet?
Speaker 1: I've what I've heard tossed around a second Amendment caucus,
Speaker 1: But is there an official moniker yet? It was all right, well, hey,
Speaker 1: it has a ring to it. But but I'm glad
Speaker 1: you guys are doing this and it Scott, I'm real
Speaker 1: familiar with Ryan's background firearms, law enforcement, military, et cetera.
Speaker 2: How about you, what's your your firearms background.
Speaker 5: Well, I do have military background, but I was a Navy.
Speaker 5: We didn't have a small arms in the Navy, which
Speaker 5: is probably good. Yeah, probably good because you're on a
Speaker 5: ship and you be shooting for the so but yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm I'm caught a shooter. I caught a few firearms
Speaker 5: and spent a lot of time I'm playing with those
Speaker 5: and enjoying them and teaching my family that over the years.
Speaker 5: And I've actually had different groups in our church where
Speaker 5: we've done this and we've turned people. In fact, we
Speaker 5: even had a couple events where we gave opportunity for
Speaker 5: the LGBT community here in Colora Springs to be trained
Speaker 5: at the range for it for the for the guns,
Speaker 5: the amo and all that kind of stuff. So it's
Speaker 5: it's very much part of my background. I'm probably a
Speaker 5: better better shooter overall than armogoss I think.
Speaker 2: Well, there's one way to find out. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you guys mentioned the fun part because
Speaker 1: i gotta tell you. I mean, you know, my wife,
Speaker 1: who I think looks great all the time in anything,
Speaker 1: rarely has she looked hotter than knocking down targets on
Speaker 1: the range because she was getting some good technical, like
Speaker 1: real life scenario training and talk about Mama. Barrett was
Speaker 1: like maybe after two or three you know sessions as
Speaker 1: a boom boom boom boom, and I'm like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's take a trip somewhere.
Speaker 2: But so no, it is fun.
Speaker 5: How you do it?
Speaker 1: Ah, not as good as she is, but but I'm okay.
Speaker 2: I'm not like you guys, but I'm okay.
Speaker 1: How often do you think people need to go out
Speaker 1: and shoot, you know, to to maintain that skill?
Speaker 12: Well, I think as an instructor, I encourage people because
Speaker 12: a lot of people come in they get their contil
Speaker 12: carry training in permit and that's the one and done thing.
Speaker 12: And you can't stay proficient, especially if you're caring for
Speaker 12: personal protection. You can't be proficient with firearms if you're
Speaker 12: not regularly going to the range, and that should be
Speaker 12: at least monthly. But I mean, if not for proficiency,
Speaker 12: it's also a great stress reliever. So it's one of
Speaker 12: those things I get. I call it trigger therapy, but
Speaker 12: not for the range, putting holes in paper and just
Speaker 12: kind of leading off some steam but otherwise it's just
Speaker 12: a good recreational thing. But you have to be practicing proficiency,
Speaker 12: not just going out and dumping magazines. Besides, amos too
Speaker 12: extensive for that anyway.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: And you know, hey, if I had Tiger Woods on,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be asking them. Okay, what's your advice
Speaker 1: to somebody with the nine irons? So let me ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: your typical self defense guy like me, I got a
Speaker 1: nine millimeter in my hand, what's your key tip? What's
Speaker 1: your key tip for good shooting? Which hopefully we won't
Speaker 1: need a three in the morning, but what would that be?
Speaker 12: I would say building fundamentals, Just getting your fundamentals down.
Speaker 12: Once you have so much repetition with your fundamentals, that
Speaker 12: muscle memories in place, and you can point and shoot
Speaker 12: and still be on target even in the dark, if
Speaker 12: you're so proficient at drawing and getting that side alignment,
Speaker 12: side picture. That's the biggest thing in fundamentals, is just
Speaker 12: that point and shoot and trigger control. Everything else which
Speaker 12: your developing and practicing maintaining those fundamentals is Scott your
Speaker 12: tip of the day?
Speaker 5: I would say two things. As Armagross is saying, your fundamentals.
Speaker 5: Also gives you a mental competency. You feel more relaxed
Speaker 5: and confident when you're doing it because it becomes a
Speaker 5: part of you. And another piece of advice is don't
Speaker 5: try to do it with a nine mil. Get a shotgun.
Speaker 1: You know. I've had people say that, and that's just
Speaker 1: because for an amateur like me, right though, I've got
Speaker 1: plenty of different options at home. Should that need a rhyme,
Speaker 1: But for an amateur like me, the thought is that
Speaker 1: we'll be nervous, will be a little shaky, and a
Speaker 1: shotgun's easier to handle.
Speaker 5: It takes a lot of the air out.
Speaker 1: Okay, now that would be And let me ask you, guys, Well,
Speaker 1: I've got you.
Speaker 2: You know that the guys.
Speaker 1: Who trained us very good, but they had they put
Speaker 1: a light on a couple of my weapons. And I
Speaker 1: guess my question is does that make sense to you guys,
Speaker 1: because doesn't that just let the bad guy know where
Speaker 1: I am?
Speaker 12: I would say yes and no. You have different options
Speaker 12: with lights, and some lights have a strobe effect that
Speaker 12: can be this oriented. Okay, but the one thing about
Speaker 12: having a light on, I mean, if you're only turning
Speaker 12: on your light to shoot and then turning it back
Speaker 12: off in between volleys of fire or whatever is good.
Speaker 12: But the one thing you want to avoid is if
Speaker 12: you're if it's a home defense gun, especially you get
Speaker 12: up in the middle of the night and it's dark
Speaker 12: and you turn on a you know, ten thousand lumen,
Speaker 12: you're going to blind yourself as well. So getting something
Speaker 12: that's moderate enough to not blind you. But also let's
Speaker 12: just see what's going on in running.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, great advice, guys.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you just joined the conversation
Speaker 1: that was Representative Scott Bottom's HD fifteen represented represented Ryan
Speaker 1: armagost Wish with us as well. They've got a Second
Speaker 1: Amendment caucus they're putting together and they're trying to make
Speaker 1: it bipartisan.
Speaker 2: Education and part of it.
Speaker 1: And that's why we got off on this is just
Speaker 1: on getting people out to the range, some education, training,
Speaker 1: fun kind of stuff. Guys, appreciate the time today. Let's
Speaker 1: let's do it again as you get geared up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you for having us.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot you guys. Take care. Yeah, good stuff,
Speaker 1: good stuff. And if you don't happen to shoot, Ryan,
Speaker 1: what percentage of the audience I know you have to
Speaker 1: d a hard break. What percentage of the audience do
Speaker 1: you think shoots owns one or more weapons?
Speaker 2: Of our audio and shoots, Yes.
Speaker 6: This somewhere in the at least the twenty five to
Speaker 6: fifty percent.
Speaker 2: Oh my lord, it's got to be higher than that,
Speaker 2: don't you think. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But as a guy myself who went from zero guns, yeah,
Speaker 1: to lots of guns in a big hurry and becoming
Speaker 1: really well trained. But not like these guys. These guys
Speaker 1: are professionals.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I could not imagine not having weapons.
Speaker 2: I mean I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I sit back and I think, how how did I
Speaker 1: go to bed at night all those years without weapons?
Speaker 1: And yeah, we were concerned, you know, I might make
Speaker 1: a mistake. We have young kids in the house. But
Speaker 1: now I could not imagine going to bed without weapons.
Speaker 1: Here on the Dan Capitla Ship.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 9: So the bottom line here is, yes, there may be
Speaker 9: more enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, but the fact is we're
Speaker 9: not seeing that necessarily translate in the almost certain to vote.
Speaker 9: And one little other note, Sarah, I will note this
Speaker 9: Donald Trump is more popular today than he was on
Speaker 9: August thirteenth and either twenty twenty twenty sixteen.
Speaker 6: So the bottom line is.
Speaker 9: Yes, Kamala Harris is doing better in the pulse, but
Speaker 9: there's a long way to go.
Speaker 6: The polls can shift.
Speaker 9: The almost certain the vote hasn't actually shifted. And Donald
Speaker 9: Trump is more popular than he was at either twenty
Speaker 9: sixteen or twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: At the that's CNN. And why do you think they
Speaker 1: did that segment? Because they see it coming. That's why
Speaker 1: we just had a CNN headline a few minutes ago
Speaker 1: about here quoted for you Walts. Walts praises Muslim cleric
Speaker 1: who posted anti Semitic content. That was a CNN headline.
Speaker 1: They see what's going on, right. I mean, you've got
Speaker 1: the regime media now trying to convince you this is over.
Speaker 1: But the insiders, they see what's going on. Trump is
Speaker 1: leading the race right now. Axelrod has acknowledged that after
Speaker 1: three weeks of beatification of Harris, he's still winning. He's
Speaker 1: more popular than ever. And that's why Ryan, you see this,
Speaker 1: Texter Dan, you keep saying it's twenty sixteen all over again.
Speaker 1: Please say why? And here's why? Right, And there are
Speaker 1: layers but at the core of it, what drove twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen explosive, intense loyalty and support and turnout for Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1: And now you just heard it. He's more popular than ever.
Speaker 1: He's got all these accomplishments in office. The nation's been
Speaker 1: dying under Biden and Harris, and the guy was just
Speaker 1: the hero of an assassination attempt. So the stage is
Speaker 1: completely set. And Harris and Clinton would have been horrible.
Speaker 1: Harris isn't half the tail and Clinton was, So the
Speaker 1: stage is set for a very explosive twenty sixteen type
Speaker 1: turnout for Trump.
Speaker 3: I think the points you just made, Dan are why
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's base is far more durable and consistent, and
Speaker 3: it's not going anywhere, and there are people that are
Speaker 3: going to crawl over broken glass to vote for him.
Speaker 3: I think it's larger than the sugar high that Kamala
Speaker 3: is enjoying, whatever core, whatever bass she might have. There
Speaker 3: is some, but they're not going to be as durable
Speaker 3: or as loyal. And the other thing when I hear
Speaker 3: people not just Harry Enton, but people like John Berman,
Speaker 3: people like Sarah Sidner, they're getting visibly frustrated and when
Speaker 3: not just Kamala Harris, Well, you just said about Tim Walls,
Speaker 3: his weak blank decides to put out a press release
Speaker 3: statement about this cleric or whatnot, rather than this weakling
Speaker 3: coming out to face the music, face the cameras, answer
Speaker 3: it directly, look people in the eye and say it.
Speaker 2: He won't do it right.
Speaker 1: And what kind of polls have they released since he
Speaker 1: was picked? You know, you can bet that there have
Speaker 1: been multiple national polls done by the regime media since
Speaker 1: Walls was picked. But we've seen like two CNBC where
Speaker 1: Trump's up to in morning consult where she just lost
Speaker 1: a point. Listen, let's be realistic. People in the middle, honest,
Speaker 1: people in vast majority cannot picture Walls as president. He
Speaker 1: obviously lied about his military service. He comes across as
Speaker 1: a far left buffoon. And listen, there are some people
Speaker 1: on the far left who come across as very credible,
Speaker 1: talented people, and I recognize their skills all the time.
Speaker 1: Whether it's a Barack Obama, or it's a Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: or it's a Van Jones. These are serious talented people
Speaker 1: who just have a lot of bad ideas. Walls is
Speaker 1: not one of those people. He's a buffoon who's been
Speaker 1: caught Lyne. He's a guy who was a relatively moderate
Speaker 1: a congressman from Minnesota, and then he saw the math,
Speaker 1: and then he saw the niche he could be a
Speaker 1: far left, he could be a far left, wacko governor
Speaker 1: of Minnesota, and he had the numbers to stay in
Speaker 1: office and then.
Speaker 2: Be a hero to the far left. And that's the.
Speaker 1: Route he decided to go. But not exactly great positioning
Speaker 1: for this job right here. So yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen all over again. A text he says, Dan,
Speaker 1: do you really think CNNT thinks people will take them seriously?
Speaker 1: That's a hell of abobvele. And that goes back to
Speaker 1: this sounds. Some of the most fun sounds you will
Speaker 1: ever hear. This is on Stephen Colbert. It was not
Speaker 1: intended as a laugh line, and listen to how the
Speaker 1: audience reacted really obviously taking Colbert and the CNN anchor
Speaker 1: by surprise.
Speaker 10: Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this,
Speaker 10: and he's not really sure how to go after Vice
Speaker 10: President Harris. He knew his attack lines on President Biden.
Speaker 10: He really has struggled with how to go after someone
Speaker 10: who's twenty years younger than him, who is a different gender,
Speaker 10: a different right. It's kind of been this moment where
Speaker 10: he has not been able to coal uce around a
Speaker 10: single attack line.
Speaker 11: I know you guys are objective over there, that you
Speaker 11: just report the news as it is.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know a CNN makes it, and.
Speaker 10: I know that's supposed to be a lobline.
Speaker 6: I wasn't supposed to be.
Speaker 1: But that tells you everything, right, that tells you everything.
Speaker 1: And again it all feeds into this belief. It's twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen all over again. You know, we consternated about the
Speaker 1: media lying about this and lying about that.
Speaker 2: Do you think anybody's paying attention to that or believe
Speaker 2: in that?
Speaker 1: Who isn't already voting for whoever the Democrats put up. No,
Speaker 1: the undecides people in the middle working people in the
Speaker 1: Swing states. They see what's true. Twenty sixteen, Oliver Agan,
Speaker 1: great job, Brian, thank you, Kelly. Join us tomorrow
