Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. What is the
Speaker 1: American Way going to be? What's it going to mean?
Speaker 1: Is it going to be what it's always been, the
Speaker 1: best of it? Or is there going to be a
Speaker 1: new American way? And part of that is what we
Speaker 1: open with today, not because we want to, but because
Speaker 1: we have to. We have plenty of fun stuff to
Speaker 1: do in the show today, but we have to open
Speaker 1: with this because we're adults, right, We're responsible adults. We
Speaker 1: have to open with the latest schools slaughter. And we
Speaker 1: have to open with that because the children and the
Speaker 1: teachers and everyone affected deserves the respect of that.
Speaker 2: But also because we know.
Speaker 1: The next school shootings in Colorado are being planned right now.
Speaker 1: We know they're being planned.
Speaker 2: As we speak.
Speaker 1: They're always being planned in Colorado, and then it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of which ones are going to get to
Speaker 1: the point that people are killed.
Speaker 2: And so we have to.
Speaker 1: Talk about what's happened in Georgia today. To learn the lessons, right.
Speaker 1: I think we have that obligation, just as responsible people.
Speaker 1: We have the obligation to learn the lessons from school
Speaker 1: shootings to make sure that mistakes aren't repeated in the future.
Speaker 1: And as we look at Georgia right now, we don't
Speaker 1: know if there are any mistakes made by this school
Speaker 1: or school district or not. We don't know what the
Speaker 1: lessons from Georgia will be, but we sure as all
Speaker 1: know this, we've got to learn them. And the reputations
Speaker 1: and feelings and politics of school districts and administrators and
Speaker 1: politicians down there shouldn't matter at all. It should all
Speaker 1: be about getting to the truth, learning the lessons, and
Speaker 1: making schools safer. But that brings us to Colorado, right,
Speaker 1: because we know that more are coming, and we know
Speaker 1: that because Colorado is controlled by the left, the left
Speaker 1: that cares more about their anti gun ideology than they
Speaker 1: do the lives of these students that we have many, many, many,
Speaker 1: many children in Colorado who are left defenseless as we speak.
Speaker 1: I mean, school days pretty much over right now except
Speaker 1: for extracurricular stuff. But when they go back tomorrow at
Speaker 1: seven thirty eight, eight thirty nine, whatever, many of school
Speaker 1: children in Colorado will be left defenseless because of the
Speaker 1: Left and their anti gun politics, which which brings them
Speaker 1: to the point where they're so opposed to guns that
Speaker 1: they make a conscious decision to leave the most precious
Speaker 1: thing on the face of the earth, these students sitting
Speaker 1: there defenseless against a bad guy with a gun. They
Speaker 1: make that decision in advance. It's premeditated, it's deliberate. It's
Speaker 1: made in boardrooms, it's made in the governor's office, it's
Speaker 1: made under the Golden Dome. They make these decisions in advance.
Speaker 1: That's what the Left does. And then they shed crocodile
Speaker 1: tears when these Colorado kids get killed in classrooms, and
Speaker 1: they try to twist those horrific killings to take away
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, rather than do what they should have
Speaker 1: done in the beginning, which is say, Okay, we know
Speaker 1: that there are bad guys coming for our kids. We're
Speaker 1: going to make sure they at least have a fighting
Speaker 1: chance when the bad guys get their Instead, they decide
Speaker 1: the opposite. They decide to leave those children defenseless. And
Speaker 1: how awful that is in every level right, and how
Speaker 1: awful it is to the teachers and staff and everybody
Speaker 1: else in schools. And we've seen teachers, right, We've seen
Speaker 1: the teachers like Dave Sanders. He's not the only example.
Speaker 1: They stand up and be willing to lay down their
Speaker 1: lives to protect their students. But far better that these
Speaker 1: schools and districts in advance would just say, we know
Speaker 1: the bad guys are coming. We're not going to play
Speaker 1: Russian Roulette with our kids' lives and our staff and faculty,
Speaker 1: and we're just going to have at least one good
Speaker 1: guy or gal with a gun there to give him
Speaker 1: a fighting chance. Sake five for zero five eight two
Speaker 1: five five the number. But nope, not the left in Colorado.
Speaker 1: And it's one of the prices we pay for living
Speaker 1: in a leftist control controlled state, which raises the question,
Speaker 1: you know, every now and then somebody will say, yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: why don't you move? And you know what rais is
Speaker 1: a really interesting question. First, I'm not gonna move because
Speaker 1: I'm a fighter.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to run.
Speaker 1: You know, I was so blessed and privileged to be
Speaker 1: dropped into this beautiful place, you know, through the Evans
Speaker 1: Scholarship program moved me out from Chicago, put me in
Speaker 1: University of Colorado, Boulder with all the other golf caddies who,
Speaker 1: like Caddyshack, won the scholarship.
Speaker 2: No, I'm so blessed to be here. I'm a fighter.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna run.
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay and try to make it as
Speaker 1: good as I can make it. But I do wonder,
Speaker 1: and Ryan, you're kind of in this position. I mean,
Speaker 1: like when you have kids, or I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: you do already. No, how do you know that?
Speaker 3: I'm very sure I would have been notified by now.
Speaker 2: You think so court order.
Speaker 3: Of some kind. I think so.
Speaker 4: I mean unless it's like the movie elf Right where
Speaker 4: Buddy shows up and yeah, all those years have gone by.
Speaker 4: I guess it could be possible. I can't rule it out,
Speaker 4: but I'm ninety nine percent that all I'm saying. Let's
Speaker 4: say that you meet missus right tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Awesome, Okay, it would be miss right then then she'd
Speaker 1: become missus right eventually. Okay, that'd be the plan hopefully
Speaker 1: with you. But let's say you meet her tomorrow. Do
Speaker 1: you raise your kids in Colorado?
Speaker 3: A really good question, I'd be.
Speaker 4: I'd be very hesitant to do so, but I was
Speaker 4: just thinking about in your shoes.
Speaker 3: If I were you, I wouldn't move back to Illinois.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not gonna be any power that was.
Speaker 1: Not on the list, you know, early on, because you know,
Speaker 1: my wife had so many and I'm sure lots of
Speaker 1: people listening had been in the same position, right, But
Speaker 1: she had so many great job opportunities because she was
Speaker 1: so very good at what she did as a news anchor.
Speaker 2: So every now and then we'd fly out.
Speaker 1: I remember one big trip to San Diego where it
Speaker 1: reached the point of looking at homes and everything else
Speaker 1: because of job opportunities for her out there.
Speaker 2: And everything else.
Speaker 1: And then we looked around and she just said, no, no,
Speaker 1: Colorado's so great. We're we're just staying in Colorado.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: That was before legalization marijuana, yep. That was before the
Speaker 1: left took over completely. That was before all of this
Speaker 1: other ugliness. So, you know, our kids now are older.
Speaker 1: I mean it always you know, as a parent, right,
Speaker 1: it's just your kids are always fill in the blank.
Speaker 1: They're always six, they're always seven, they're always eight, they're
Speaker 1: always you know, your kids. But they're older now, you know,
Speaker 1: and so we're not facing those issues. But if they were,
Speaker 1: it would be I think it'd be fifty to fifty
Speaker 1: on whether we'd stay.
Speaker 4: Could I be lured? That is a different question, And
Speaker 4: the answer to that is yes. And the three states
Speaker 4: that come to mind almost immediately are Texas, Florida, and Tennessee.
Speaker 3: And do the math from there as to why those
Speaker 3: would be Yeah for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, so interesting interesting it.
Speaker 1: Uh kight five five for zero five A two five
Speaker 1: five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: It's nothing personal, it's not a pejorative. We just know
Speaker 1: that leftist policies make for a much more dangerous state
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. And crime, I mean you
Speaker 1: start with that obviously, and then and then you start
Speaker 1: with legalization of drugs, and then you start with stuff
Speaker 1: like this of not willing to protect most school kids
Speaker 1: with an armed good guy, that kind of stuff. They're
Speaker 1: just more dangerous places to live.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think about too, Dan, what's going on
Speaker 4: right now in Aurora? I just spoke with a very
Speaker 4: impassioned Danielle Jirinsky Yes on my program and it was
Speaker 4: a very moving conversation. And would that be happening in
Speaker 4: Polk County, Florida with Sheriff Brady Judd.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what happen in Chicago because
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in Chicago. My dad was
Speaker 1: a cop there for thirty years. And my dad, we
Speaker 1: were talking about this the other day.
Speaker 2: But he was.
Speaker 1: Such a stud and so talented, and before his heart
Speaker 1: attack when he was in his sixties, he was going
Speaker 1: like six three two forty and he was an athlete. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and anyway, you know, one of his first big assignments
Speaker 1: was undercover with gangs. Hey, he's a six foot three
Speaker 1: and a half white guy, back when six foot three
Speaker 1: was really tall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but he was so good he could pull
Speaker 2: all that stuff up.
Speaker 1: All I'm telling you is these Venezuelan gangs trying to
Speaker 1: take over apartment complexes back there. You could you could
Speaker 1: retire Chicago's debt by selling the cable rights to.
Speaker 3: That, right, totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Crips, bloods peastone Nation. I mean, oh man, I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think the Venezuelan gang knows what
Speaker 1: it's getting into there.
Speaker 3: My point on that, Dan, it kind of goes along
Speaker 3: with Linds.
Speaker 4: What you're saying and what I'm implying that Sheriff Grady
Speaker 4: Judd County, Florida, anywhere in Florida, anywhere in Texas.
Speaker 6: This is not going to happen.
Speaker 4: And why not, because you deserve what you tolerate, Dan,
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, right now, for whatever reason, there are powers
Speaker 4: that be in Aurora, in the state of Colorado at
Speaker 4: large that are tolerating this well, so they deserve it.
Speaker 1: Well, wait a second, I'll take it a step further.
Speaker 1: You endorse what you tolerate, correct, And they tolerated for
Speaker 1: a reason.
Speaker 2: They want this.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the left sits here and says, oh,
Speaker 1: I want that apartment complex taken over by.
Speaker 2: Venezuela and kangs.
Speaker 1: No, but they'll deny it's happening, right, they'll light to
Speaker 1: your face right, just for political reasons. But they want
Speaker 1: the border open, they want all the What they see
Speaker 1: is Democrat voters coming over. And they don't care how
Speaker 1: many young girls get raped on the trip to the border,
Speaker 1: how many of their mothers get raped, how many of
Speaker 1: their dads get killed. They don't see these people as human,
Speaker 1: They see them as numbers. They see them as Democrat votes,
Speaker 1: and so they lure them up to the border. They
Speaker 1: want them flowing across the border in record numbers. And
Speaker 1: if that means somebody's gonna bang.
Speaker 2: Down your door out in Aurora and.
Speaker 1: Stand there with a semi automatic rifle.
Speaker 2: What Democrats don't care about that?
Speaker 1: Eight five five for zero five A two five to
Speaker 1: five the number when we come back, Kamala Harris has
Speaker 1: finally agreed to.
Speaker 2: The debate rules.
Speaker 1: Why do you think she's so scared of them? I
Speaker 1: believe I know that answer. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7: In twenty nineteen, she endorsed she raised her hand during
Speaker 7: a debate when when the Democratic candidates r president were asked,
Speaker 7: do you support decriminalizing illegal border crossing? She did raise
Speaker 7: her hand. I understand her position now is more to
Speaker 7: the center or more even conservative.
Speaker 1: Before I play the rest of this, understand what's going
Speaker 1: on here? Okay, this is Jake Tapper. I'm live with
Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, and Tapper's trying to give
Speaker 1: her another what's a polite term, another massage here right?
Speaker 2: Another? Somebody said it the other day while.
Speaker 1: A columnist described that CNN interview as a sponge bath
Speaker 1: so trying to give her another sponge bath here by
Speaker 1: saying oh, no.
Speaker 2: No, she's her position has moved to the center.
Speaker 1: No, no, she wanted to decriminalize border crossings, and now
Speaker 1: she's saying she wouldn't, and anybody who believes her is
Speaker 1: out of their mind. But that's a setup to listen
Speaker 1: to this new excuse that Kelly is offering for her.
Speaker 7: Does she need to explain?
Speaker 3: Well, I think she has explained it.
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about a primary in twenty nineteen, yes,
Speaker 1: where somebody asked, you know, throw your hand up.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, you got like a half a second
Speaker 2: to think about it.
Speaker 1: So that's the defense. Now, Oh, she only had half
Speaker 1: a second to think about it, So of course she
Speaker 1: threw her hand up and said, yes, decriminalize the border.
Speaker 1: So that's how stupid all these democrats think we are.
Speaker 1: You think she hadn't thought about that issue before then,
Speaker 1: It hadn't come up before then whether border crossing should
Speaker 1: be decriminalized. Well, even if he's right, it's a disqualifier
Speaker 1: on something that major. She would say, Oh, I got
Speaker 1: half a second, Yeah, I decriminalize the border.
Speaker 4: You know what I do In those scenarios, Dan I'm
Speaker 4: watching Mark Kelly just spew that ridiculousness. I put Dan
Speaker 4: Caplis on that stage, in that moment, and with one
Speaker 4: second to think, Dan, do you think you would have
Speaker 4: formulated a response that was in accordance with your values
Speaker 4: on any topic?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: Yes, but as you know, any of us far in
Speaker 1: advance would have anticipated that question and decided what our
Speaker 1: answer was going to I'm talking whether it happened through
Speaker 1: a show of hands or hey tell me, do you
Speaker 1: want to decriminalize the border? So anyway, that's the newest excuse.
Speaker 1: Now this is a lead into and I want to
Speaker 1: work in calls as well as text, but it's a
Speaker 1: lead into the big flashing headline as we hit air
Speaker 1: today that Kamala Harris's camp has finally I put in
Speaker 1: the finally agreed to the terms of the debate. I
Speaker 1: want to touch on why she is so terrified of
Speaker 1: those rules, and I think it may be a reason
Speaker 1: that you haven't considered russ In Littleton, You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan caplessh'.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Hi, how are you doing?
Speaker 2: Living the dream? Thank you?
Speaker 5: They have me too, trying to at least, Hey, these
Speaker 5: shootings are all the same, They're never gonna find out
Speaker 5: anything other than somebody shot somebody. You know, they used
Speaker 5: the gun, and they need to take the guns away.
Speaker 5: That's their argument. We're going to get it's the only
Speaker 5: solution we're gonna get. You're only investigating, we're gonna get.
Speaker 5: They're gonna say they're gonna investigate. Oh, we're looking to it.
Speaker 5: We'll do everything, can't look in at blah blah blah,
Speaker 5: blah blah. How many of these shootings in the past
Speaker 5: twenty five years from Columbine has anything been disclosed as
Speaker 5: far as what, why man anything else other than the gun,
Speaker 5: as the gun is what we got what? But there's
Speaker 5: no why. There's never a why there. They don't touch that.
Speaker 5: They locked the guy away. Not that I'm saying he's
Speaker 5: he's riper, he's got a good thing to express. But
Speaker 5: they say, well, we give him attention, and then they're
Speaker 5: gonna create more killers. That's all. That's a lie. If
Speaker 5: you don't want to, you know, look into a problem
Speaker 5: because you're afraid you're gonna give the attention. He cures
Speaker 5: dead already, he's going to jail with us in his
Speaker 5: life or whatever was going to happen here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Russ, You're hitting on something really important and
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I know a little bit about this,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. The reason that so often
Speaker 1: parents who have had their child murdered, other parents who
Speaker 1: want school safer can't get full answers is because the
Speaker 1: people who made mistakes want to bury those mistakes. They
Speaker 1: want to hide those mistakes, and they often have very
Speaker 1: powerful interest groups supporting them as they try to bury
Speaker 1: and hide their mistakes. And that leads to one of
Speaker 1: the great success stories ever. And that's right here in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Because Russ started with Columbine. Right everybody listening, if they
Speaker 1: were here, remembers the moment they heard about Columbine. But
Speaker 1: following Columbine, obviously there had to be a major investigation,
Speaker 1: and there was an investigative panel put together, but it
Speaker 1: didn't have subpoena power. And then there was I think
Speaker 1: it was the Speaker of the House at the time,
Speaker 1: had suggested that there be a commission with subpoena power
Speaker 1: headed by me to investigate what happened at Columbine. And
Speaker 1: I told them I would take that job, and I
Speaker 1: would lead the investigation as long as we had subpoena power,
Speaker 1: So the Speaker pushed that, but it got shot down.
Speaker 1: So they ended up with the Commission without subpoena power,
Speaker 1: and obviously that got frustrated in a hundred different ways.
Speaker 1: Now that's a lead up to this success story after.
Speaker 1: And you can't call it a success story, right because
Speaker 1: the change that should have happened decades before didn't happen
Speaker 1: because of politics and self interest among powerful people and
Speaker 1: everything else. But then you have two wonderful parents with
Speaker 1: their beautiful daughter, Claire Davis, and she gets murdered at
Speaker 1: a rap hole, and her parents want answers. They don't
Speaker 1: want money, they don't want anything. They want answers. They
Speaker 1: want to know the truth. They want to know about
Speaker 1: the failure so other kids.
Speaker 2: Can be protected.
Speaker 1: So Claire's parents then wage this heroic fight and they
Speaker 1: enlisted these really smart, courageous, well connected, powerful people, and
Speaker 1: they were able to engineer a bipartisan bill called the
Speaker 1: Claire Davis Act, which then changed Colorado law to make
Speaker 1: it clear there was a duty of schools to take
Speaker 1: reasonable steps to protect kids, and if a child was
Speaker 1: murdered at school, that the parents would then have the
Speaker 1: legal tools to go in and investigate and find the truth,
Speaker 1: such as if they filed a lawsuit depositions, subpoenas, get documents,
Speaker 1: et cetera, get witnesses under oath. So, thanks to Claire's parents,
Speaker 1: we now have that law in Colorado. And then when
Speaker 1: one of Colorado's greatest heroes ever, Kendrick Castillo, was or school,
Speaker 1: saving his class, his entire class and the two teachers
Speaker 1: in there from the methodical execution which the killers had
Speaker 1: planned out very carefully. They were going to execute each
Speaker 1: of them one by one, and Kendrick stopped that and
Speaker 1: other brave classmates assisted. But after that, Kendrick's parents, John
Speaker 1: and Maria said, you know, we want the truth. We
Speaker 1: want to protect others, and so they used the Claire
Speaker 1: Davis Act and they pursued a lawsuit. Not for money,
Speaker 1: They've turned down the money at every turn. They pursued
Speaker 1: a lawsuit to get to the truth so the lessons
Speaker 1: would be learned and all would benefit and schools would
Speaker 1: be made safer. And I've had the privilege of representing them,
Speaker 1: and we've been through years of litigation that I've taken
Speaker 1: twenty depositions in that case at this point. And then
Speaker 1: we fought for a year. We fought for a year
Speaker 1: to get the information in the depositions made public because
Speaker 1: the school was trying to suppress that, and we've been
Speaker 1: in court fighting that over a year. We've just recently
Speaker 1: had final rulings in that case. In almost every area
Speaker 1: the Castillos prevailed, so not of that information can be
Speaker 1: made public. So the heroism of the Davis parents and
Speaker 1: everybody who assisted them in getting that long place. Now
Speaker 1: there is a way to get to the bottom of it,
Speaker 1: and what we've learned, I think will scare.
Speaker 6: You you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 8: I come from a long line of tough, trail blazing
Speaker 8: and phenomenal women. My grandmother would go into villages in India.
Speaker 8: And because she was Indian and lived in India, and
Speaker 8: she would go to the villages in India. It was
Speaker 8: a famous story in our family. My grandfather would say
Speaker 8: she was going to be the end of his career,
Speaker 8: but my grandmother would go into the villages with a bullhorn,
Speaker 8: talking with the women about the need to have access
Speaker 8: to reproductive healthcare.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that for one second?
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's grandmother going village to village in India.
Speaker 9: Kill your children, Kill your children before it's too late.
Speaker 3: Does anybody believe that with a megaphone with a.
Speaker 9: Bullhorn, kill your kids before it's too late?
Speaker 6: Anybody believe that?
Speaker 1: No, A, we should, we should do a segment on
Speaker 1: biggest whoppers, right, I mean, and you flash kind of
Speaker 1: immediately to Hillary Clinton, but but just kind of the
Speaker 1: biggest whoppers that you get from these candidates. Wow, And
Speaker 1: she's proud of that. She's proud of these people who
Speaker 1: worship death. I do not get it. I mean no,
Speaker 1: but none of us have to be scientists or philosophers
Speaker 1: or anything else to realize wow, life, Like that's amazing.
Speaker 1: That is really cool, and not too many people get
Speaker 1: it and just be in awe of it. And yet
Speaker 1: you got this whole group of people out there who
Speaker 1: glorify the mass killing of it, and then they're proud
Speaker 1: of it, like her, proud to the point they'll make
Speaker 1: up stories that yet we're so into this killing that
Speaker 1: my grandma went village to village in India with a
Speaker 1: bullhorn saying.
Speaker 2: Kill, kill, kill, And.
Speaker 1: So interesting that that even in this made up story
Speaker 1: she talks about Okay, so she went bullhorn village to
Speaker 1: village talking about quote, reproductive rights.
Speaker 2: Now everybody knows that's a lie.
Speaker 1: Because you're there reproductive rights. No, wait a second, why
Speaker 1: why wasn't she talking about abortion rights? And this this
Speaker 1: big boss now kind of this death star. They have
Speaker 1: gone in the Harris campaign with reproductive rights on its
Speaker 1: side and their whole tour.
Speaker 2: Why doesn't it say abortion rights?
Speaker 3: Remember Dan?
Speaker 2: It was because they.
Speaker 1: Know everybody knows abortion's right. Everybody knows as a matter
Speaker 1: of science, it's the taking of it isn't human life.
Speaker 4: So they can't even use the word. But you remember, Dan,
Speaker 4: it wasn't that long ago. I want to say, within
Speaker 4: the last five years. Abortion is healthcare, remember that, they
Speaker 4: would say it that way.
Speaker 1: But you're so right kidnapping his childcare right the same, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to be on the other side of their bus.
Speaker 3: You're exactly on point.
Speaker 4: At the convention, in Harris's speeches, they don't even say
Speaker 4: the word abortion anymore.
Speaker 2: Because everybody knows it's wrong. Jared Polish, was that sound?
Speaker 2: Jared Polus knows it's wrong.
Speaker 3: Democrats don't believe that abortion is good. We believe it's bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even Jared Poliss knows that that's why they can't
Speaker 1: use the word right yet she's she's so proud of
Speaker 1: and into and worshiping of this mass killing. Listen, there's
Speaker 1: no reason that abortion would be bad unless it was
Speaker 1: the killing of an incent human life.
Speaker 3: Right. Democrats don't believe that abortion is good. We believe
Speaker 3: it's bad.
Speaker 1: So they know it's the taking of an innocent human life.
Speaker 1: Bill Maher, I mean, Bill Maher just flat out admitted
Speaker 1: it and said no, he's he's okay with that, which is,
Speaker 1: which is exactly where Harris and Poulis and the rest
Speaker 1: of my rapp they know it's it's the killing of
Speaker 1: an innocent human life. But but they're okay with that.
Speaker 1: Come on, Billy, they think it's murder and it kind
Speaker 1: of is.
Speaker 2: I'm just okay with that, I am.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no billions of people in the world.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we won't miss you. That's my position on them.
Speaker 2: What ye.
Speaker 1: Is that not your position if you're pro choice, Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's all of their position, right, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: all these people. None of these people are dummies. You know,
Speaker 1: they're smron smart people who do in sport moronic things.
Speaker 1: But you're talking about Polish hicking Looper, Bennett Harris, the
Speaker 1: whole bunch of them. They know it's killing. They know
Speaker 1: it's killing an innocent human life. Now do you think Ryan,
Speaker 1: they have the same rationale as as Bill, which is
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with that. You know, they may, but
Speaker 1: I think the rationale is more insidious. I think their ration,
Speaker 1: and obviously Bill's is very insidious, but the rationale is, Hey, okay,
Speaker 1: it's the killing of innocent human life. But if I
Speaker 1: support that, then I get all this power, yep. And
Speaker 1: if I don't support that, I don't get this power. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to support this mass killing. So I, Jared
Speaker 1: Polis get power where I Kamala Harris get power.
Speaker 2: That's their analysis.
Speaker 4: It is because they're very cynical to what you just described,
Speaker 4: and it's accurate because at least Bill Maher, he's a
Speaker 4: true believer. What he said at the very end of
Speaker 4: that quote is the most important part that if you
Speaker 4: are pro choice, then yes, that's what you believe, if
Speaker 4: you've got that kind of clarity of thought.
Speaker 3: I don't think they do, because.
Speaker 4: When they try to wade into the waters of explaining
Speaker 4: why there are no guardrails, why there are no limits,
Speaker 4: why there should be no exceptions made for any reason,
Speaker 4: that you can get an abortion at any time, for
Speaker 4: any reason or no reason at all, or that at
Speaker 4: the very end, a ninth term abortion by choice. Their
Speaker 4: comeback isn't that it's wrong, it's that, well, that's just
Speaker 4: so rare. That's usually when the child is going to
Speaker 4: be born, brain dad, or there are complicating factors, and
Speaker 4: that should be between a woman and her doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and historically, that kind of dishonesty, that kind of
Speaker 1: denial is what we've seen historically from the plantation owners, right,
Speaker 1: and from all the politicians who supported slavery. It was
Speaker 1: the same kind of denial. Well, now, listen, that's that's
Speaker 1: a matter of freedom. That's a matter of freedom, that
Speaker 1: that's the landowner's freedom to make that decision you don't
Speaker 1: want a slave, don't have a slave. It's the same
Speaker 1: mentality now treating these innocent human lives as property.
Speaker 2: And what's happened.
Speaker 1: It's interesting if you look at kind of the discussions
Speaker 1: within the death industry is there's a big, big body
Speaker 1: of thought that wait a second, we're only hurting our
Speaker 1: cause and making us look stupid by trying to claim
Speaker 1: that it is not a human life.
Speaker 2: You know, we are better.
Speaker 1: Off tactically, says a lot of these pro boarts to
Speaker 1: acknowledge that it's a human life, but that the woman
Speaker 1: has a right to take it. And so that is
Speaker 1: really kind of the prevailing attitude among the power in
Speaker 1: big abortion.
Speaker 2: And you know, but it's.
Speaker 3: A long way from safe, legal and rare. Isn't it well?
Speaker 1: Right, because it's what I said it is. It is
Speaker 1: a bunch of people deciding to make the trade off.
Speaker 1: I'm going to support this mass killing in order to
Speaker 1: get power and keep power. That that's the trade off
Speaker 1: they're making. And I really like the way that Trump.
Speaker 1: There's a lot Trump's doing on the life front right
Speaker 1: now I don't like. But it's an easy choice whether
Speaker 1: to support Trump or Commonla Harris for you know, a
Speaker 1: very devoted pro life for like me, that's a very
Speaker 1: easy choice to make, right, And so Trump isn't perfect, buddy,
Speaker 1: is if you want to protect life and you got
Speaker 1: a choice between these two people, it's the easiest choice
Speaker 1: you will ever make in your life.
Speaker 2: And that is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But I like the way on the positive side, I
Speaker 1: like the way that he is pointing out their extremism
Speaker 1: every chance he gets, and that's what GOP candidates should
Speaker 1: be doing at every level. Obviously, you're not going to
Speaker 1: make abortion you're leading issue in a campaign, but you're
Speaker 1: not going to run from it. And that's a big
Speaker 1: mistake the GOP has made too many times, is running
Speaker 1: from it.
Speaker 2: They want that fight.
Speaker 1: You're taking on that fight, and you're pointing out who
Speaker 1: the real extremist is. And when voters realize wait a second,
Speaker 1: Jared Polis supports allowing that child to be killed as
Speaker 1: it's being born, then all of a sudden, he looks
Speaker 1: much more like a monster than a moderate right and
Speaker 1: I like the way that Trump is doing that. Eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five eight two five five number
Speaker 1: Hey when we come back the Harris Camp, big headline
Speaker 1: on seeing it. The Harris Camp finally agrees to the
Speaker 1: debate rules. I think I know why they did and
Speaker 1: why they're so terrified of these debate rules. Want to
Speaker 1: kick that around with you, And we have some new
Speaker 1: information appears to be factional information about the horror in
Speaker 1: Georgia today.
Speaker 2: Could it have been prevented? You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 8: It feels some kinship towards her as a mixed person.
Speaker 10: Not personally, I find a lot of her trajectory to
Speaker 10: not be my brand of woman leader. We've got three
Speaker 10: major international crises going on and someone applying to be
Speaker 10: commander in chief. As a woman, I want to see
Speaker 10: you do more than you know appeal to giggling and
Speaker 10: having a girl moment on the stage.
Speaker 1: That's MSNBC one of their panels, a mixed race self
Speaker 1: identified mixed race woman.
Speaker 3: Well, right there, Dan, let's hold it right there.
Speaker 4: How insulting is it to ask a person, well, don't
Speaker 4: you identify with her because you're also a mixed race woman.
Speaker 3: What if somebody sat down with you or me?
Speaker 4: Dan goes, well, don't you identify with Donald Trump because
Speaker 4: he's a white man.
Speaker 1: Well, this comes back to something that I know is
Speaker 1: hard for folks like us to wrap our minds around
Speaker 1: because it's the opposite of how we view things. But
Speaker 1: we have to appreciate the fact that most on the
Speaker 1: left and almost everybody in power on the left, looks
Speaker 1: down on people of color. That's what we have to appreciate.
Speaker 1: They look down on people of color. It's evil, it's insidious,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely wrong, it's ignorant to the core. But most
Speaker 1: of the people in power on the left, they make
Speaker 1: it clear from the way they act they look down
Speaker 1: on people of color, and so that's why they speak
Speaker 1: to him that way. That's the only way you could
Speaker 1: ever end up with something like this happening.
Speaker 2: Yesterday. We got Kamala Harrison Detroit.
Speaker 8: You better take a union member.
Speaker 3: On the five day week. You better thank a union
Speaker 3: member for week.
Speaker 8: You better thank a union member for paid leave. You
Speaker 8: better thank a union.
Speaker 3: Member for vacas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you see it in so many different ways.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at this.
Speaker 1: You got these people like Polis and the rest of them,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris tripping over themselves to glorify and support and
Speaker 1: expand abortion when they know it's undeniable. It kills five
Speaker 1: people of color for at a minimum, for every white
Speaker 1: kid it kills, no kids should be killed. But they
Speaker 1: openly celebrate this policy, which is the cornerstone of their
Speaker 1: existence politically, and they know it's going to kill four
Speaker 1: black kids for every white kid it kills. Talk about
Speaker 1: looking down on people, right, and remember what Justice Ginsberg said,
Speaker 1: She always understood the purpose of ROE was to limit
Speaker 1: the populations we don't want too many of. That's not
Speaker 1: my quote, that's hers. So yeah, that's that's how we
Speaker 1: end up in this situation. Speaking of Kamala Harris, I
Speaker 1: do want to get into the factor campaign just agreed
Speaker 1: to the rules for the ABC debate, and so why have.
Speaker 2: They been so terrified of these rules?
Speaker 1: And I understand almost all the attention is on the
Speaker 1: muted mic, and I do think they're terrified of Trump's
Speaker 1: might be muted, And I'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 1: The rule they're most terrified of, and I've got the
Speaker 1: proof for you, is the rule that she has to.
Speaker 2: Stand up at a podium.
Speaker 1: Did you see what happened in that CNN interview I
Speaker 1: can't even call it an interview, right, CNN spongebat that
Speaker 1: somebody said they had this goofy table. Yeah, she was
Speaker 1: sitting at a table. It was her security blanket along
Speaker 1: with walls. She had to be seated at a table.
Speaker 1: And we've all known people, right, You probably know people
Speaker 1: in your own lives who they've got these different issues
Speaker 1: going on, and they've got these insecurities, and it manifests
Speaker 1: in sometimes really different kind of ways. She has to
Speaker 1: be seated at a table, and that's what her team
Speaker 1: wanted for the ABC debate, that's why she had it
Speaker 1: for the CNN interview. Part of it also is just
Speaker 1: the visual. You know, she's five foot four, which which
Speaker 1: is certainly not a criticism. Many great people are five
Speaker 1: foot four. She's five foot four. Trump is six foot
Speaker 1: three plus. And this race, if the Trump campaign approaches
Speaker 1: it correctly, will come down to the contrast between strength
Speaker 1: and weakness. So in a very dangerous time at home
Speaker 1: and in the world, people are going to see on
Speaker 1: this stage, you know, somebody who's five foot four, slight,
Speaker 1: somebody who's six foot three. But more importantly, because we've
Speaker 1: known some of the most courageous people ever in America
Speaker 1: have been five foot four or shorter, and they've been
Speaker 1: very slight of build, but great of stature and bravery.
Speaker 1: But in this case you have Kamala Harris combined with
Speaker 1: this contrast visually in stature, Kamala Harris, who has been
Speaker 1: so pathetically weak and so many different policy ways and
Speaker 1: in so many ways personally, to the point she has
Speaker 1: to pretend she is on a call. So reporters can't
Speaker 1: ask her about the execution of an American hostage. She
Speaker 1: does one interview in the six weeks since she's been installed.
Speaker 1: She's weak in so many ways. They're very concerned about
Speaker 1: that contrast. Now, let's get back to the mute and
Speaker 1: MIC's okay, this is an enormous problem for don't you
Speaker 1: think an enormous problem for because the more she just
Speaker 1: has to talk on her own, and she's counting on
Speaker 1: ABC to bail her out when she starts to do
Speaker 1: her thing, to interrupt, etc. But the more she just
Speaker 1: has to talk, the less Trump can interrupt, the better
Speaker 1: for Trump. But here's the other point that has not
Speaker 1: been talked about enough. What was happening in that first debate,
Speaker 1: claims the Biden camp, And you know, of course the
Speaker 1: Biden camp wouldn't allow any other reporters in the room, so.
Speaker 2: How do you know?
Speaker 1: But they claimed that Trump was chirping at him while
Speaker 1: Biden was trying to answer, and that we couldn't hear
Speaker 1: it because the mic wasn't on good. She obviously has
Speaker 1: focus and concentration issues.
Speaker 4: One other things i'd say about stature, Dan, And you're
Speaker 4: painting the picture and it's a very stark one of
Speaker 4: the contrasts, But it's more than that. Telsey Gabbert is
Speaker 4: only five foot six, so she's a couple of inches
Speaker 4: taller than Kamala. But think about how tall she looked
Speaker 4: and sounded when she eviscerated Kamala on the debate stage.
Speaker 1: Which right, and that was my point that Kamala. If
Speaker 1: Kamala listen, if her brand was strength because of strength
Speaker 1: of character and strength of ideas, the way she conducts herself,
Speaker 1: you know, then then yeah, this wouldn't be an issue
Speaker 1: for But when her brand is weakness for all of
Speaker 1: those substantive reasons, and then you're then going to have
Speaker 1: this contrast on stage. But Ryan and I think the
Speaker 1: weird insistence on having a table there, I think that's
Speaker 1: an insecurity anxiety thing. Remember that story about and it
Speaker 1: was in one of the mainstream media reports back in
Speaker 1: the days they did not want her as the candidate,
Speaker 1: which was up until she was installed as the candidate,
Speaker 1: about how she had to go to this dinner in
Speaker 1: Hollywood that Biden was sending her to with Hollywood execs,
Speaker 1: and she was so nervous and terrified to go. She
Speaker 1: had her staff set up a mock dinner where they
Speaker 1: just rehearsed what the dinner would look like and what
Speaker 1: she'd say, and then she canceled it in the end. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So yeah, between insisting on the table and now that
Speaker 1: a big plus for Trump that that MIC's going to
Speaker 1: be muted. Hey, when we come back, want to bring
Speaker 1: you an update from the horrific school shooting in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Some lessons to be learned there. And Kamala Harris, this
Speaker 1: doesn't look good for her.
