Dan applauds J.D. Vance for strolling over to reporters on the tarmac in Eau Claire, Wisconsin - which featured the nominee for Vice-President briefly crossing paths with the person he hopes to replace, Kamala Harris. Vance consoles the gathered media members for being ignored by Harris for 16 days since she became the presumptive candidate for President.
Also, whispers are getting louder about potential 'stolen valor' regarding Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and his service in the Army National Guard, avoiding a tour in Iraq and opting instead to run for office.

cabal behind Harris, is making it clear. I mean, they're
making this a base election, They're making this a choice.
(00:22):
They'll never use the words between socialism and democracy, and
they're just going right for it. And they've got the
not only the media on their side, They've got the
media on their side with the level of ferocity and
intensity we've never seen before. And that's because the media
had been part of the cabal's deposing of the democratically
(00:42):
elected nominee Joe Biden. And so now now the media
is so fully invested and fully intent on proving its
loyalty to the Democratic Party. No lie is a bridge
too far for this media. So it's going to be
it's going to be a brutal test. It's going to
be a brutal test of the Trump campaign. The r
(01:04):
and see conservatives nationwide, as as the media tries to
discourage and dishearten conservatives everywhere, and so yeah, as we
look at this though, we keep it in perspective. Hey,
you look at the men and women who fought the
American Revolution, right and what they faced. I mean, all
we have to do is be politically active and go
(01:24):
out there and do everything we can, you know, to
help save the country through the political system, and certainly
a lot less challenging and a lot less risky than
what the founders faced. But it is one of those
moments because lose this election. You'd never say there's no
going back, right, there's going to be another election another
four years, but you lose this election and it's going
(01:47):
to be so much tougher for reasons we've discussed and
will continue to The good news is the good news
is there's still lots of reasons to believe that Trump
can and will win, and lots of reasons to believe
that America is just not ready to go there, not
that bridge too far. And I get it, I get it,
you know, Kamala Harris, this is the ultimate basement strategy.
(02:09):
What is it right in eighteen days now seventeen or
eighteen days seventeen for sure without a media interview, and
now it's you know, it's just confirmed. It's just clear.
The reason they're hiding her is because they just don't
trust her. When she's allowed to speak, you know, and
speak without a teleprompter, bad things happen for the left.
What is bad for the left means that she's revealed
(02:30):
for who she really is.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But Jade Vance, did I think a genius thing today
on the tarmac where it just so happened that Air
Force two was also there? And he goes over the
media goggle and right in front of them and everybody else.
They have to report on it and say, hey, why
isn't Kamala Harris talking to you?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Guys? Dan?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is the question I answered before. This is the
crap all started. But we're seventeen days in. Seriously, from
a just a logical standpoint, how long can the media
go just ghosting away and settle for Kamala not granting
them any access without having to pipe up and say something.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, until the day after the election.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
You can't be serious.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh yeah, of course they're going to sit there and
allow this candidate for president to ignore them.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
On the whole for ninety days.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They're not even pretending at this point to be fair
they're not pretending to be anything other than part of
her campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But even out of a selfish instinct, Dan Well, they go, hey,
I want access to Kamala Harris. I deserve a sit
down er, We deserve to ask questions to her.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Access comes after they put her in office, because then
she owes them. They lose access if they tell the
truth about her. And that's also always been part of
how the Democrats in Colorado and we talk about the
bubble right like Polis didn't get a whiff now, you know,
for vice president or anything else. Why he lives in
this Colorado bubble where he's almost completely protected by the
(03:52):
media a few noble exceptions. And part of it is
in my perception that hey, if you tell the truth
about him, you lose your access.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But can they really have any credibility even with their
fervent hair is supporting audience if they never interview or
never have access.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
To us courses the audience wants. And Ryan, you know
the media business better than anybody. To be a king
in the media, you don't need that big a share.
You just need a loyal share that's always there for you.
So if you're ceing n MSNBC. Whatever, you don't care.
All you need is that loyal group. Says, I'm tuning
into CNN, which is better than MSNBC, but they're both bad.
(04:32):
I'm tuning in there because confirmation bias. They're gonna tell
me what I want to hear. They're on the same
team with me. They're gonna lie about our opponent, and
they're gonna lie in favor of the team I'm on.
And that's what enough people want that that gives them
the ratings they need that.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But that's a core constituency, Dan, that is the loyal
base that's going to Overcomala. Even if she were a
cold Ham sandwich. What about the persuadables in the middle.
They're being why can't I see her interviewed anywhere?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
My brother?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What have I been preaching on the show? I mean
the reason for hope here? Yeah, I mean, you see
these huge crowds, and they're going to get huge crowds
and huge enthusiastic crowds, you know, for this road show
now and with this phony Grandpa and Harris. But that's
the base, and you cannot win this whole election. We
all know where it's about those six states. You can't
(05:22):
win in those six states with just the base. That's
why there's swing stays right. So, no, you're right Ryan
this strategy, and that's why I open the segment by
saying it's clearly a base strategy right now. And so
their strategy is and Trump won with it in sixteen
and then he got crossover Dems in the Upper Midwest
in part because the Dems have become such extreme late
(05:44):
term abortion lovers. So so that's their play, right now,
get that enthusiasm so ginned up in the base. But
you're right, so much of this is going to hurt
him in the middle once you can cut through. But
here's the challenge. I mean, it looks to me, I
haven't seen the numbers, but it looks to me as
if overall that Trump's strategy is too largely not completely
hold fire until after the convention, just believing that Harris
(06:08):
gets August hold fire and hope that her momentum sort
of burns out and then you have your money and
then you have everything else to kick in right after
the convention and take you through that stretch run. And
that's when we darn well better be seen NonStop in
all the swing states. These spots, you know, revealing Harris
for who she is and then Waltz, you know, for
(06:31):
who he is, because that reflects so poorly on her,
and as we played him on the show, You've got
so much dynamite, Ammo. But listen, would I love to
see the Trump campaign have enough money to be on
big now on her and him? Yes, but with limited resources,
I understand why they're waiting until after the convention.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Largely it makes sense keeping their powder dry right now, Dan,
because I got to admit, and maybe you've experienced this too,
and perhaps our listeners, I've been extremely frustrated watching tuning
into the Olympics. I'm seeing Harris at Harris at nothing
from Trump's.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Campaign right and again, if they had unlimited money. But
I appreciate the strategy now of just waiting and then unleashing,
because again my belief is with one caveat we talked
about earlier, one potential, once her numbers start to drop,
they will keep dropping. I agree, because they're going to
start to drop once this natural momentum, this near death experience,
(07:25):
oh we're still alive and she's younger than eighty momentum,
once that starts to burn, out, and once people start
learning more about the real Kamala Harris and Tim Walls,
then I don't see how she stops the downward slide.
And she's still not at the levels even today that
would allow her to win. Now, you know, I predicted
all of this before Biden was run out. I think
(07:48):
she's going to get to those levels. I think that
we're going to see polling by the end of August.
I think we're going to end August with her with
the lead in the swing states outside the margin of
error that if the election was held that day, she
would win. But then we're going to see it start
to a road. Now here, here's the big question mark.
(08:09):
I want to play that sound you talked about because
it was a pretty cool moment. But here's the big
question mark. You know, part of this insidious lawfare has
been time now to have President Trump sentenced to prison
four days before the ballots go out in Pennsylvania. That's
sentencing now set in mid September. And I want to
(08:30):
hear from everybody eight five five four zero five A
two five five text DA and five seven seven three nine.
Is that obvious political play, that obvious abuse of our
system going to hurt Trump or help Trump when it
happens in mid September. But other than that and the debate,
short of those two variables, at that point, there's nothing
(08:52):
to break Harris's fall. But I do want to play
this JD. Vance sound and picture this. They're in Wisconsin.
They're both on the tarmac. Air Force two is on
the tarmac, and so Vance is walking over, not to
Air Force two to confront her. I don't even know
she was there, but walking over to the reporters to
(09:13):
then talk to them about, Hey, I know you're lonely
because she'll never talk to you.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I figured i'd come by.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And more to see a good look at the plane
because bocal, it's going to be my plane in.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
A few months.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
But I also thought you guys might get badly because
the vice president doesn't.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Answer questions for reporters. It hasn't for seventeen days.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I to give you guys an explanation for why she
won't take questions for the borders.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Noboddy, okay, great, Well, see that is just brilliant, very
very good move eight five five for zero five A
two five five takes d A N five seven seven
three nine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
When we come back some of the some of the
additional facts coming out about Tim Walls, who I think
is going to go down as one of the worst
VP picks in history. Thank goodness you're on the Dan.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Kaplish And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast when.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
You hear the former president and JD.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Vance.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
And this was just happening a few moments ago with
the Center from Ohio going after Tim Walls's military record,
going after Tim Walls on the handling of the rioting
in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
What do you have to say to that.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
Well, here is Tim Walls who enlisted when he was
seventeen years old. He served in the National Guard for
twenty four years. And I'm not aware of any military
service that Jada Vance has ever served. So let's just
make the comparison there and what happened in the tragedy
of the Employed and then the Rock. Yeah, okay, pardon
(10:51):
me for that, but to go after somebody's record of
service to me is just superdiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh my lord. Yeah, And this is one of the
reasons I think Walls is going to go down as
one of the worst picks ever. You've got to believe,
you've got to believe that within our veteran community, and
there are many veterans who vote Democrat or go back
and forth in elections. Of course many vote Republican, but
you have to believe there's going to be there's going
(11:17):
to be a lot of concern, shall we say, and
worse when it comes to Walls and these reports coming
out about you know, allegedly abandoning his troops as they
were being deployed to Iraq and retiring as his troops
are deployed to a rock, etc. As some of the
allegations go, yeah, and here's JD. Vance firing back on
(11:38):
all of that.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
What really bothers me about Tim Waltz, as a Marine
who served his country in uniform when the United States
Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me
to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it.
I did what they asked me to do it, and
I did it honorably. And I'm very proud of that service.
When Tim Waltz was asked by his country to go
to Iraq, you know what he did. He dropped out
of the army and allowed his unit to go without it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
A fact that.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
He's been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the
people that he served with. I think it's shameful to
prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a
promise that you're going to follow through, and then to
drop out right before you actually have to go.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And more, I.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Also think it's dishonest something Again, if you guys ever
get an opportunity to ask Tim Waltz or Kamala Harris
some questions, he made this interesting comment that the Kamala
Harris campaign put out there, and I bet they were
regretting they put it out there now because he said
that we and he was making a point about gun control.
He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in
(12:36):
war to be on America's streets. Well, I wondered, Tim Waltz,
when were you ever in war? When what was this
weapon that you carried into war? Given that you abandoned
your unit right before they went to Iraq and he
has not spent a day in a combat zone, what
bothers me about Tim Waltz is the soulen valor garbage.
Do not pretend to be something that you're not. And
if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy
(12:58):
League education. I'm proud of the fact that my mammoll
supported me, that I was able to make something of myself.
I'd be ashamed if I was him and I lied
about my military service like he did.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You see, I don't think in American politics you can
lie about going to war. I don't think you can
lie about that, because I think if there's one thing
all seen people across party lines revere, it is the
men and women in our midst Republicans, Democrats, unaffiliated who
have gone to war, and they are placed on a
(13:30):
very high pedestal for good reason. So you just can't
get away with falsely claiming to have gone to war.
And that's the kind of low character liar we're talking
about with.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Walls Poco Cup like many of you did five weeks ago,
and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Gave the money back.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And I'll tell you what I have been doing.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects US
that amendment. But we can do background checks, we can
do CDC research, we can make sure we don't have
reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can make sure that
those weapons of war that I carried in war is
the only place where those weapons were.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You cannot lie about going to war. And this is
bringing jd Vance into his own And this is you're
going to have first ring, second ring, third ring, and
beyond harm to the Harris campaign from this selection of
walls and maybe call this second ring, but it's helping
jd Vance come into his own and to come into
(14:32):
this key role of the contrast of military service and
jd Vance because he did go to a rock jd
Vance and he wasn't a combat zone. Jd Vance, who
now has that special credibility with which she can respond
to to walls And you've already got all these other people.
We have the sound. We'll play it from you Waltz's
(14:52):
troops from among Waltz's troops who came out before. It
wasn't just when he was picked as VP. And they've
been publicly calling him out before for what they call
abandoning his troops.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And stolen valor if he's claiming, especially in that sound
bite you just played, Dan, that he served overseas in
a war, in a war zone with weapons of war,
and that's not true.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You cannot do that. You're exactly right, Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
We saw the swift boat ads against John Carey twenty
years ago. That could be in play here and it's
already affected. If you remember Senator Richard Blumenthal a Connecticut,
he claimed he served in Vietnam stolen valor, falsifying he
never went.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He never did that, and he still catches heat for that. Yeah,
you cannot lie about going into war. Cannot lie about that, Texter.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
If it's so safe to lane split with the motorcycle
just because the traffic is at a dead stop, then
why not scooters, skateboards, bicycles. And I'm with the Texter.
I think this is more leftist lack of regard for
human life, insanity, this new lane filtering love which is
really turning into lane splitting, and they're both unnecessary dangers
and loss of human life. Dan. All jd Vance has
(16:02):
to say is at least unlike you, I showed up
in a rock that is so true. I cannot wait
for that debate, Dan, look at the lies his running
mate told about Kavanaugh cut from the same cloth. Dan,
I'd like a definition of sex with a couch. You're
not going to get that here, and I really wouldn't
even know how to define it. What we're talking about
(16:22):
is just kind of revealing what I promised you yesterday.
The Walls, who's a very good talker, would soon be
exposed as the kind of very talented, fast talker who
falls into the snake oil salesman category. Because we all
know those people who are great, gifted talkers and they
use it for good and they do a lot of good.
(16:43):
And then we know those who become snake oil salesmen.
They have no morals, they have no honesty, they have
no principles, and they lie for their own gain. And
I think America will very quickly come to see Walls
as that. I'm not talking about the base. The base
is going to see what they want to see, and
they're going to love the guy who cares. I'm talking
about the people in the middle who get to decide
this election, and his Walls is out there with Harris
(17:05):
trying to label her goofiness. Now, joy listen, you know oh,
more joy, more happiness. Well, guess what the American people
are going to decide this election. They're not happy about
wide open borders. The border's Walls says he's going to
invest in a thirty foot ladder factory to help people
get over the wall and into this country. No, they're
not happy about wide open borders. They're not happy with
(17:27):
all the fetanyl desks in America that come from wide
open borders. They're not happy with skyrocketing crime. They're not
happy with Hamas and Iran and the mass slaughter of
innocence in Israel. So no, American people who are going
to decide this election are very unhappy with all the
same things that make Walls and Harris so happy. So
(17:50):
don't let them discourage you. Don't let them discourage you.
There's a long time to go in this race. Hey,
when we come back, you are absolutely going to love
this headline that just popped up on CNN and it
echoes what I've been saying for days and why Walls
is going to go down as one of the worst
VP picks in American history. And this headline you'll get
call it five thirty six. This is right off of
(18:12):
CNN put a smile on Trump's face. You can be
sure here on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast O.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Cool Cup like many of you did five weeks ago.
And Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I gave the money back.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And I'll tell you what I have been doing.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects a
second amendment.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But we can do background.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure
we don't have reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can
make sure that those weapons of war that I carried
in war is the only place where those weapons were
wasn't in war.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Can't lie about that. And that's why you listen to
this garbage ABC newscast. We just heard on this show
now our local newsroom right outside this door, award winning
totally reliable ABC. It's pure Democratic Party propaganda where they're
glowingly playing some tim walls sound. Now can you imagine
if there was this kind of revelation day, if they
(19:15):
had sound, which they never would because he wouldn't lie.
If they had sound of JD. Vance lying about his
war experiences, it would be leading every newscast. You know,
just absolute crickets from the Democrat media. Hey, as we
go to the phone lines, here's this headline on CNN.
That's that's got to put a smile on your face.
And again this is on CNN report Trump campaign quietly
(19:40):
fueled opposition to Shapiro. Isn't that great? I mean it
comes back to I mean, that's one of the reasons
Waltz will go down. Is the worst VP pick in
history because it starts with who.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You passed on?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You gotta win Pennsylvania. The Democrats cannot win the presidency
without penns Sylvania. And what do you what do you
pick up a VP for? I mean, you pick him
or her to win a key swing state or two.
And you got Shapiro and Pennsylvania and his appeal beyond that,
and you pass on him. You pass on him for
(20:15):
very bad reasons. Yeah, but then you get to all
the problems. Wall springs to the table. Let's go to
Rick and sort and you're on the Dan Kaplas show. Welcome,
Hi Dan, how are you doing. I'm living the dream?
Thank you good.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
My thing is when you lie about your military, you
lose a lot of a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Of people, a lot of boat yep yep.
Speaker 10 (20:37):
And he he he retired as a master sergeant, not
a first sergeant, which is an EA. And he claimed
he was a command sergeant major, which is lean nine.
And you can't you can't be lying about that with all,
with all the military amen.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
In every state. And that's my complaint.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Rick, And I assume you served, yes, yes, how many years?
Speaker 9 (21:06):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Which branch Arnie, Well, thank you for your service, my friend.
I appreciate that. And I've got to believe that the
revulsion is not just going to be among the members
of our military. It's going to be among those of
us who did not serve. Who put people who have
gone to war on a pedestal, whether they're Democrats, Republicans, independents,
(21:29):
we put them on a pedestal because they went to
war for this country for us. Doesn't mean we can't
disagree about things, but they're on a pedestal. And I've
got to believe there are an awful lot of people
like me across America. Now, I wasn't going to vote
for the Democrat anyway, but people in the middle say,
you're going to lie about going to war. What does
that tell you about the character of that person? The
(21:51):
worst possible things. Hey, this is Newsweek. This is a
headline just popping up on Newsweek to our call of
Rick's point. National Guard disputes Tim Wall's military biography. Oh,
that's a headline on Newsweek. The Minnesota National Guard is
disputing Governor Tim Wall's military biography, saying the Democratic vice
presidential Kennedy did not hold the rank of command sergeant
(22:15):
major at the time of his retirement. So kight five
five or zero five eight two five to five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. I
really want to get to this text here because it
goes to an issue that I think is very important
and that we need to be looking ahead on. And
part of my job for you is to be looking
(22:36):
ahead and have us looking ahead. And so earlier in
the show, I talked about one of the major events
between now an election day. I mean, this is going
to be a basement campaign for Harris. They know they
have to hide her, and you know there will be
the debate and then here's going to be another big
event because of this horrific abuse of our justice system,
(22:58):
this lawfare again Trump what I view my constitutionally protected
opinion as a completely politically motivated, absolutely bogus state court
prosecution in New York in a wrongful conviction. We're now
going to have this spectacle of a leading candidate for
president sentenced to prison, which you will be wrongfully in
(23:22):
mid September, four days before the ballots go out in Pennsylvania.
So the question I have for you is is that
going to be a big negative or positive for Trump?
We have a texture who says Dan on the sentence
head of Trump in September. I think it's a plus
for Trump no matter how it comes out. Trump paters
are always going to hate Trump, lovers are always going
to love. Those on the fence will look at this
(23:43):
as this could happen to me, and it's just wrong.
I agree with the Texter. I think it is going
to benefit Trump, but I think there's also real risk
in it because you may have people in the middle
who say who are and just say, wait a second.
Now he's sentenced to prison, and I know it's kind
(24:05):
of a wrongful conviction, but now we've got this question
mark of whether he's going to be serving as president
from prison. That's just too much for me. Even though
they know it's wrong, it could cut that way. I
believe it's going to cut the other way. I even
had there not been the horrific assassination attempt in Trump's
heroic response, I think it's going to cut the other way.
(24:27):
And Americans don't want to live in a banana republic.
And you know the Democrats are just going to be
celebrating when this wrongful sentencing comes around. So yeah, I
think it's I think it's going to cut in his favor.
Now that assumes that the campaign's operating and he's operating
the way that they need to between now and then,
and I'm assuming that they will. Let's go to Sarge,
(24:48):
an airborne veteran here on the dan Kaplis show. Welcome
Sarge and Anna.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm out there. Actually I'm out here at DIA clouds.
They look like the Hman something nasty northeast of.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The work there.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, actually I'm dropping off I work security package. But now,
I just wanted to say that I'm a Desert Storm veteran,
and I had meant that he was a command sergeant
major uh at one time, and I just wanted to
(25:28):
mention I was a sergeant first class. I was basically
a platoon leader. But he just when you're in a
command position, you just don't leave your troops. I mean,
it's just and just having the fact that he left
(25:50):
us you and it to go over there just shows
you the character of who were who the Democrat Party
is voting for.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Arge. Let me ask you this question, because you have served,
and I'm sure you served with a bunch of people
who vote Democrat as well as Republican and unaffiliated as well.
Do you think this is going to have an impact
on those veterans who are undecided? And if so, how
big an impact.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I really shouldn't because, quite honestly, I'm happy to say
that it's about eighty five percent of as far as
I know, all veterans are conservative or a public kan
that I talked to, and the associations that I belong
(26:40):
to within the military, and the ones that are Democrats,
they're just looms, they are. And it's also a fact
of you know, what did you do while you're yeah.
(27:01):
I mean, what was your responsibility yeah, the clerk, yeah,
or were you actually fighting on the line?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And right? And Sarge so grateful for your service. I apologize,
I've got to hit this hard break, but thank you
for your service. Thank you for calling the show as well,
my friend. And and to Sarge's point, it may well
be that the damage to Walls and Harris from from
Walls saying that he was in war when reportedly he wasn't,
(27:30):
and and you know, people from among Wall's troops saying
he abandoned them when they were deployed to Iraq and
he chose to retire. Then that that the damage is
going to be much more so among the rest of us,
particularly you know, the the unaffiliateds in the swing states
and maybe some Democrat leaners who are persuadable, you know who. Okay,
(27:52):
we didn't serve, but we put people who did serve,
and people who served in war on a pedestal because
of what they were willing to do. And you just
can't lie about going to war. I've got to believe
this is really gonna hurt Harris by hurting Walls. You're
on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
The interesting thing too, is you know you're talking about like,
you know, you don't see much of Kamala, you know
how you see countless clips of Harris saying hilarious things.
Where is that one clip of her saying something smart?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Where is that?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Because you know it would be everywhere.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Remember that when they told you, hey, Joe Biden, you
should see him behind the scenes, see something out and
then you go, well, let me see that.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
That is such a smart point. I mean, think about it.
Have you ever as you're driving home tonight, have you
ever seen a clip of Harris just saying something brilliant? Yeah? No,
eight five five five eight two five five back to
our texts on time. That is a great not even
the blind squirrel finding the acorn? Yeah? Wow. And then
(29:01):
Jesse Waters, you know he's he's been on a bit
of a role. Here, Paris choked this.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
She chose Bernie Sanders. This is Bernie Sanders right here.
The squad loves this guy loves them. You see pictures
they're like almost undressing together. And she managed to pick
someone who looks older than Biden.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I would have gone with the younger guy, but who.
Speaker 12 (29:28):
Knows if this was even her choice. Eric Holder was
running the vetting op.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
He chows him.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
Probably, you know, he's Obama's wing man. He probably was like, Kamala,
you're picking walls. Let's just lose this and get on
to twenty eight. Because this is like a sacrificial lamb pick.
This is the pick you put up there to get
crushed and then so you keep your better candidates ready
for the next cycle.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
It's also a trick pick because.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
This guy's not Minnesota nice.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
He's Minnesota nuts.
Speaker 12 (29:56):
They keep saying this guy's there's a mid Western white value.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Come on.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
This guy as a lunatic. Sanctuary cities, driver's license for illegals,
sanctuary cities for sex changes for children, and if you
don't want the sex change for your kid, then the
state will come take your kid away from you. This
guy put tampons in boys' bathrooms, fourth grade boys bathrooms, tampons.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
He wants crt taut.
Speaker 12 (30:24):
He was all about toppling the Columbus statue. This guy
changed the flag of the state to look more like Somalia.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
What is wrong with this guy?
Speaker 12 (30:33):
In COVID he had a snitch line so your neighbors
could rat you out if you broke his lockdown rules.
This man is out of his mind. He actually went
and joined the army and then right before they deployed
to a rat quit and all his unit is like,
whoa bro, where'd you go?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
They can't stand this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:53):
I've never seen this.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Guy ever try to get out of a duy.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
He said he was deaf from being the army.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And blew a point one too. Boy, he just nailed
it there. So yeah, I think Wallas is going to
go down as a worse pick than Eagleton in McGovern
What's seventy two? I think it's it's a beautiful thing
to behold, and I think there's going to be more
every day and you can count on us to bring
it to you, Dan. So far, Vance is the most
unpopular VP in history based on his favorability ratings. You
(31:24):
know what. I think that this, this pick of Walls
gives Vance the perfect opportunity to show his stuff and
come into his own And I think we've seen him
in Fuego since the Wall's pick, and we played some
of that sound earlier. He nailed it. And then the
really cool move today when Air Force two was on
the same tarmac in Wisconsin that Vance's plane was, and
(31:46):
he didn't go up to Air Force two and try
to call Kamala Harris out. None of that. He went
over to the press. He went over to the press
assembled there, and he just said to the press, Hey,
I know she never talks to you, so I thought
I'd come over and see how you're doing that sort
of stuff. And it was really a brilliant kind of move.
(32:06):
So I think this selection of Walls is going to
bring Vance into his own Dan, I'm hearing Walls serve
much longer in the military than Vance.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
True.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Absolutely true. But the point here is if these reports
that he lied about going to war are true, you
can't lie about going to war. That's the definition of
stolen valor. You can't lie about going to war. We
put people who've gone to war on a pedestal, regardless
of party. You can't lie about going to war. And
(32:37):
then if these reports, including from many he served with,
that he abandoned his troops when they were deployed to
a rock and even though he was head, he then
retired so that he wasn't deployed to a rock with them. Yeah,
that's the kind of stuff that I think is really
going to matter to a lot of people, not who
(32:58):
serve longer. When Vance was ordered to a rock, he went, Dan,
Trump will do a better job earning the country from
prison than Biden did in public. We're getting to my
big question about okay, now that this horrific abuse of
our justice system, the wrongful conviction of Trump. Now there's
going to be a wrongful sentence in him to prison
(33:20):
in mid September time to be just ahead of ballots
going out in Pennsylvania. So is that going to help
her her? Trump will continue that conversation, Dan, positive exclamation points, Ryan,
what do you think the message is there? Just admiring
my positivity today, which I think is pretty consistent over
the decades. Yes, yes, yes, let's see some of these
(33:47):
get too long, Dan, Lane splitting just happened a couple
of minutes ago on my drive home. Thank you for that.
We're going to talk about it more tomorrow. This is
another example of the left's lack of respect for human life.
And listen, understand, in any functioning society, they're going to
be some innocent lives lost, you know, just from things
that happen, but unnecessary, totally unnecessary loss of life by
(34:11):
the left, changing laws to put in crazy things like
this new lane filtering in Colorado by motorcycles. We'll talk
about that some more tomorrow. Each of these lives is
precious and they just throw them away. They're willing to
just throw them away as part of this green agenda. Ryan,
great job. Thank you. Join us tomorrow and the Dan
Capush

cabal behind Harris, is making it clear. I mean, they're
making this a base election, They're making this a choice.
(00:22):
They'll never use the words between socialism and democracy, and
they're just going right for it. And they've got the
not only the media on their side, They've got the
media on their side with the level of ferocity and
intensity we've never seen before. And that's because the media
had been part of the cabal's deposing of the democratically
(00:42):
elected nominee Joe Biden. And so now now the media
is so fully invested and fully intent on proving its
loyalty to the Democratic Party. No lie is a bridge
too far for this media. So it's going to be
it's going to be a brutal test. It's going to
be a brutal test of the Trump campaign. The r
(01:04):
and see conservatives nationwide, as as the media tries to
discourage and dishearten conservatives everywhere, and so yeah, as we
look at this though, we keep it in perspective. Hey,
you look at the men and women who fought the
American Revolution, right and what they faced. I mean, all
we have to do is be politically active and go
(01:24):
out there and do everything we can, you know, to
help save the country through the political system, and certainly
a lot less challenging and a lot less risky than
what the founders faced. But it is one of those
moments because lose this election. You'd never say there's no
going back, right, there's going to be another election another
four years, but you lose this election and it's going
(01:47):
to be so much tougher for reasons we've discussed and
will continue to The good news is the good news
is there's still lots of reasons to believe that Trump
can and will win, and lots of reasons to believe
that America is just not ready to go there, not
that bridge too far. And I get it, I get it,
you know, Kamala Harris, this is the ultimate basement strategy.
(02:09):
What is it right in eighteen days now seventeen or
eighteen days seventeen for sure without a media interview, and
now it's you know, it's just confirmed. It's just clear.
The reason they're hiding her is because they just don't
trust her. When she's allowed to speak, you know, and
speak without a teleprompter, bad things happen for the left.
What is bad for the left means that she's revealed
(02:30):
for who she really is.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But Jade Vance, did I think a genius thing today
on the tarmac where it just so happened that Air
Force two was also there? And he goes over the
media goggle and right in front of them and everybody else.
They have to report on it and say, hey, why
isn't Kamala Harris talking to you?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Guys? Dan?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is the question I answered before. This is the
crap all started. But we're seventeen days in. Seriously, from
a just a logical standpoint, how long can the media
go just ghosting away and settle for Kamala not granting
them any access without having to pipe up and say something.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, until the day after the election.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
You can't be serious.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh yeah, of course they're going to sit there and
allow this candidate for president to ignore them.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
On the whole for ninety days.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They're not even pretending at this point to be fair
they're not pretending to be anything other than part of
her campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But even out of a selfish instinct, Dan Well, they go, hey,
I want access to Kamala Harris. I deserve a sit
down er, We deserve to ask questions to her.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Access comes after they put her in office, because then
she owes them. They lose access if they tell the
truth about her. And that's also always been part of
how the Democrats in Colorado and we talk about the
bubble right like Polis didn't get a whiff now, you know,
for vice president or anything else. Why he lives in
this Colorado bubble where he's almost completely protected by the
(03:52):
media a few noble exceptions. And part of it is
in my perception that hey, if you tell the truth
about him, you lose your access.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But can they really have any credibility even with their
fervent hair is supporting audience if they never interview or
never have access.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
To us courses the audience wants. And Ryan, you know
the media business better than anybody. To be a king
in the media, you don't need that big a share.
You just need a loyal share that's always there for you.
So if you're ceing n MSNBC. Whatever, you don't care.
All you need is that loyal group. Says, I'm tuning
into CNN, which is better than MSNBC, but they're both bad.
(04:32):
I'm tuning in there because confirmation bias. They're gonna tell
me what I want to hear. They're on the same
team with me. They're gonna lie about our opponent, and
they're gonna lie in favor of the team I'm on.
And that's what enough people want that that gives them
the ratings they need that.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But that's a core constituency, Dan, that is the loyal
base that's going to Overcomala. Even if she were a
cold Ham sandwich. What about the persuadables in the middle.
They're being why can't I see her interviewed anywhere?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
My brother?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What have I been preaching on the show? I mean
the reason for hope here? Yeah, I mean, you see
these huge crowds, and they're going to get huge crowds
and huge enthusiastic crowds, you know, for this road show
now and with this phony Grandpa and Harris. But that's
the base, and you cannot win this whole election. We
all know where it's about those six states. You can't
(05:22):
win in those six states with just the base. That's
why there's swing stays right. So, no, you're right Ryan
this strategy, and that's why I open the segment by
saying it's clearly a base strategy right now. And so
their strategy is and Trump won with it in sixteen
and then he got crossover Dems in the Upper Midwest
in part because the Dems have become such extreme late
(05:44):
term abortion lovers. So so that's their play, right now,
get that enthusiasm so ginned up in the base. But
you're right, so much of this is going to hurt
him in the middle once you can cut through. But
here's the challenge. I mean, it looks to me, I
haven't seen the numbers, but it looks to me as
if overall that Trump's strategy is too largely not completely
hold fire until after the convention, just believing that Harris
(06:08):
gets August hold fire and hope that her momentum sort
of burns out and then you have your money and
then you have everything else to kick in right after
the convention and take you through that stretch run. And
that's when we darn well better be seen NonStop in
all the swing states. These spots, you know, revealing Harris
for who she is and then Waltz, you know, for
(06:31):
who he is, because that reflects so poorly on her,
and as we played him on the show, You've got
so much dynamite, Ammo. But listen, would I love to
see the Trump campaign have enough money to be on
big now on her and him? Yes, but with limited resources,
I understand why they're waiting until after the convention.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Largely it makes sense keeping their powder dry right now, Dan,
because I got to admit, and maybe you've experienced this too,
and perhaps our listeners, I've been extremely frustrated watching tuning
into the Olympics. I'm seeing Harris at Harris at nothing
from Trump's.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Campaign right and again, if they had unlimited money. But
I appreciate the strategy now of just waiting and then unleashing,
because again my belief is with one caveat we talked
about earlier, one potential, once her numbers start to drop,
they will keep dropping. I agree, because they're going to
start to drop once this natural momentum, this near death experience,
(07:25):
oh we're still alive and she's younger than eighty momentum,
once that starts to burn, out, and once people start
learning more about the real Kamala Harris and Tim Walls,
then I don't see how she stops the downward slide.
And she's still not at the levels even today that
would allow her to win. Now, you know, I predicted
all of this before Biden was run out. I think
(07:48):
she's going to get to those levels. I think that
we're going to see polling by the end of August.
I think we're going to end August with her with
the lead in the swing states outside the margin of
error that if the election was held that day, she
would win. But then we're going to see it start
to a road. Now here, here's the big question mark.
(08:09):
I want to play that sound you talked about because
it was a pretty cool moment. But here's the big
question mark. You know, part of this insidious lawfare has
been time now to have President Trump sentenced to prison
four days before the ballots go out in Pennsylvania. That's
sentencing now set in mid September. And I want to
(08:30):
hear from everybody eight five five four zero five A
two five five text DA and five seven seven three nine.
Is that obvious political play, that obvious abuse of our
system going to hurt Trump or help Trump when it
happens in mid September. But other than that and the debate,
short of those two variables, at that point, there's nothing
(08:52):
to break Harris's fall. But I do want to play
this JD. Vance sound and picture this. They're in Wisconsin.
They're both on the tarmac. Air Force two is on
the tarmac, and so Vance is walking over, not to
Air Force two to confront her. I don't even know
she was there, but walking over to the reporters to
(09:13):
then talk to them about, Hey, I know you're lonely
because she'll never talk to you.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I figured i'd come by.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And more to see a good look at the plane
because bocal, it's going to be my plane in.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
A few months.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
But I also thought you guys might get badly because
the vice president doesn't.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Answer questions for reporters. It hasn't for seventeen days.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I to give you guys an explanation for why she
won't take questions for the borders.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Noboddy, okay, great, Well, see that is just brilliant, very
very good move eight five five for zero five A
two five five takes d A N five seven seven
three nine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
When we come back some of the some of the
additional facts coming out about Tim Walls, who I think
is going to go down as one of the worst
VP picks in history. Thank goodness you're on the Dan.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Kaplish And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast when.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
You hear the former president and JD.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Vance.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
And this was just happening a few moments ago with
the Center from Ohio going after Tim Walls's military record,
going after Tim Walls on the handling of the rioting
in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
What do you have to say to that.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
Well, here is Tim Walls who enlisted when he was
seventeen years old. He served in the National Guard for
twenty four years. And I'm not aware of any military
service that Jada Vance has ever served. So let's just
make the comparison there and what happened in the tragedy
of the Employed and then the Rock. Yeah, okay, pardon
(10:51):
me for that, but to go after somebody's record of
service to me is just superdiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh my lord. Yeah, And this is one of the
reasons I think Walls is going to go down as
one of the worst picks ever. You've got to believe,
you've got to believe that within our veteran community, and
there are many veterans who vote Democrat or go back
and forth in elections. Of course many vote Republican, but
you have to believe there's going to be there's going
(11:17):
to be a lot of concern, shall we say, and
worse when it comes to Walls and these reports coming
out about you know, allegedly abandoning his troops as they
were being deployed to Iraq and retiring as his troops
are deployed to a rock, etc. As some of the
allegations go, yeah, and here's JD. Vance firing back on
(11:38):
all of that.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
What really bothers me about Tim Waltz, as a Marine
who served his country in uniform when the United States
Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me
to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it.
I did what they asked me to do it, and
I did it honorably. And I'm very proud of that service.
When Tim Waltz was asked by his country to go
to Iraq, you know what he did. He dropped out
of the army and allowed his unit to go without it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
A fact that.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
He's been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the
people that he served with. I think it's shameful to
prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a
promise that you're going to follow through, and then to
drop out right before you actually have to go.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And more, I.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Also think it's dishonest something Again, if you guys ever
get an opportunity to ask Tim Waltz or Kamala Harris
some questions, he made this interesting comment that the Kamala
Harris campaign put out there, and I bet they were
regretting they put it out there now because he said
that we and he was making a point about gun control.
He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in
(12:36):
war to be on America's streets. Well, I wondered, Tim Waltz,
when were you ever in war? When what was this
weapon that you carried into war? Given that you abandoned
your unit right before they went to Iraq and he
has not spent a day in a combat zone, what
bothers me about Tim Waltz is the soulen valor garbage.
Do not pretend to be something that you're not. And
if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy
(12:58):
League education. I'm proud of the fact that my mammoll
supported me, that I was able to make something of myself.
I'd be ashamed if I was him and I lied
about my military service like he did.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You see, I don't think in American politics you can
lie about going to war. I don't think you can
lie about that, because I think if there's one thing
all seen people across party lines revere, it is the
men and women in our midst Republicans, Democrats, unaffiliated who
have gone to war, and they are placed on a
(13:30):
very high pedestal for good reason. So you just can't
get away with falsely claiming to have gone to war.
And that's the kind of low character liar we're talking
about with.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Walls Poco Cup like many of you did five weeks ago,
and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Gave the money back.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And I'll tell you what I have been doing.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects US
that amendment. But we can do background checks, we can
do CDC research, we can make sure we don't have
reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can make sure that
those weapons of war that I carried in war is
the only place where those weapons were.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You cannot lie about going to war. And this is
bringing jd Vance into his own And this is you're
going to have first ring, second ring, third ring, and
beyond harm to the Harris campaign from this selection of
walls and maybe call this second ring, but it's helping
jd Vance come into his own and to come into
(14:32):
this key role of the contrast of military service and
jd Vance because he did go to a rock jd
Vance and he wasn't a combat zone. Jd Vance, who
now has that special credibility with which she can respond
to to walls And you've already got all these other people.
We have the sound. We'll play it from you Waltz's
(14:52):
troops from among Waltz's troops who came out before. It
wasn't just when he was picked as VP. And they've
been publicly calling him out before for what they call
abandoning his troops.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And stolen valor if he's claiming, especially in that sound
bite you just played, Dan, that he served overseas in
a war, in a war zone with weapons of war,
and that's not true.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You cannot do that. You're exactly right, Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
We saw the swift boat ads against John Carey twenty
years ago. That could be in play here and it's
already affected. If you remember Senator Richard Blumenthal a Connecticut,
he claimed he served in Vietnam stolen valor, falsifying he
never went.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He never did that, and he still catches heat for that. Yeah,
you cannot lie about going into war. Cannot lie about that, Texter.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
If it's so safe to lane split with the motorcycle
just because the traffic is at a dead stop, then
why not scooters, skateboards, bicycles. And I'm with the Texter.
I think this is more leftist lack of regard for
human life, insanity, this new lane filtering love which is
really turning into lane splitting, and they're both unnecessary dangers
and loss of human life. Dan. All jd Vance has
(16:02):
to say is at least unlike you, I showed up
in a rock that is so true. I cannot wait
for that debate, Dan, look at the lies his running
mate told about Kavanaugh cut from the same cloth. Dan,
I'd like a definition of sex with a couch. You're
not going to get that here, and I really wouldn't
even know how to define it. What we're talking about
(16:22):
is just kind of revealing what I promised you yesterday.
The Walls, who's a very good talker, would soon be
exposed as the kind of very talented, fast talker who
falls into the snake oil salesman category. Because we all
know those people who are great, gifted talkers and they
use it for good and they do a lot of good.
(16:43):
And then we know those who become snake oil salesmen.
They have no morals, they have no honesty, they have
no principles, and they lie for their own gain. And
I think America will very quickly come to see Walls
as that. I'm not talking about the base. The base
is going to see what they want to see, and
they're going to love the guy who cares. I'm talking
about the people in the middle who get to decide
this election, and his Walls is out there with Harris
(17:05):
trying to label her goofiness. Now, joy listen, you know oh,
more joy, more happiness. Well, guess what the American people
are going to decide this election. They're not happy about
wide open borders. The border's Walls says he's going to
invest in a thirty foot ladder factory to help people
get over the wall and into this country. No, they're
not happy about wide open borders. They're not happy with
(17:27):
all the fetanyl desks in America that come from wide
open borders. They're not happy with skyrocketing crime. They're not
happy with Hamas and Iran and the mass slaughter of
innocence in Israel. So no, American people who are going
to decide this election are very unhappy with all the
same things that make Walls and Harris so happy. So
(17:50):
don't let them discourage you. Don't let them discourage you.
There's a long time to go in this race. Hey,
when we come back, you are absolutely going to love
this headline that just popped up on CNN and it
echoes what I've been saying for days and why Walls
is going to go down as one of the worst
VP picks in American history. And this headline you'll get
call it five thirty six. This is right off of
(18:12):
CNN put a smile on Trump's face. You can be
sure here on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast O.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Cool Cup like many of you did five weeks ago.
And Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I gave the money back.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And I'll tell you what I have been doing.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects a
second amendment.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But we can do background.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure
we don't have reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can
make sure that those weapons of war that I carried
in war is the only place where those weapons were
wasn't in war.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Can't lie about that. And that's why you listen to
this garbage ABC newscast. We just heard on this show
now our local newsroom right outside this door, award winning
totally reliable ABC. It's pure Democratic Party propaganda where they're
glowingly playing some tim walls sound. Now can you imagine
if there was this kind of revelation day, if they
(19:15):
had sound, which they never would because he wouldn't lie.
If they had sound of JD. Vance lying about his
war experiences, it would be leading every newscast. You know,
just absolute crickets from the Democrat media. Hey, as we
go to the phone lines, here's this headline on CNN.
That's that's got to put a smile on your face.
And again this is on CNN report Trump campaign quietly
(19:40):
fueled opposition to Shapiro. Isn't that great? I mean it
comes back to I mean, that's one of the reasons
Waltz will go down. Is the worst VP pick in
history because it starts with who.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You passed on?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You gotta win Pennsylvania. The Democrats cannot win the presidency
without penns Sylvania. And what do you what do you
pick up a VP for? I mean, you pick him
or her to win a key swing state or two.
And you got Shapiro and Pennsylvania and his appeal beyond that,
and you pass on him. You pass on him for
(20:15):
very bad reasons. Yeah, but then you get to all
the problems. Wall springs to the table. Let's go to
Rick and sort and you're on the Dan Kaplas show. Welcome,
Hi Dan, how are you doing. I'm living the dream?
Thank you good.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
My thing is when you lie about your military, you
lose a lot of a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Of people, a lot of boat yep yep.
Speaker 10 (20:37):
And he he he retired as a master sergeant, not
a first sergeant, which is an EA. And he claimed
he was a command sergeant major, which is lean nine.
And you can't you can't be lying about that with all,
with all the military amen.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
In every state. And that's my complaint.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Rick, And I assume you served, yes, yes, how many years?
Speaker 9 (21:06):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Which branch Arnie, Well, thank you for your service, my friend.
I appreciate that. And I've got to believe that the
revulsion is not just going to be among the members
of our military. It's going to be among those of
us who did not serve. Who put people who have
gone to war on a pedestal, whether they're Democrats, Republicans, independents,
(21:29):
we put them on a pedestal because they went to
war for this country for us. Doesn't mean we can't
disagree about things, but they're on a pedestal. And I've
got to believe there are an awful lot of people
like me across America. Now, I wasn't going to vote
for the Democrat anyway, but people in the middle say,
you're going to lie about going to war. What does
that tell you about the character of that person? The
(21:51):
worst possible things. Hey, this is Newsweek. This is a
headline just popping up on Newsweek to our call of
Rick's point. National Guard disputes Tim Wall's military biography. Oh,
that's a headline on Newsweek. The Minnesota National Guard is
disputing Governor Tim Wall's military biography, saying the Democratic vice
presidential Kennedy did not hold the rank of command sergeant
(22:15):
major at the time of his retirement. So kight five
five or zero five eight two five to five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. I
really want to get to this text here because it
goes to an issue that I think is very important
and that we need to be looking ahead on. And
part of my job for you is to be looking
(22:36):
ahead and have us looking ahead. And so earlier in
the show, I talked about one of the major events
between now an election day. I mean, this is going
to be a basement campaign for Harris. They know they
have to hide her, and you know there will be
the debate and then here's going to be another big
event because of this horrific abuse of our justice system,
(22:58):
this lawfare again Trump what I view my constitutionally protected
opinion as a completely politically motivated, absolutely bogus state court
prosecution in New York in a wrongful conviction. We're now
going to have this spectacle of a leading candidate for
president sentenced to prison, which you will be wrongfully in
(23:22):
mid September, four days before the ballots go out in Pennsylvania.
So the question I have for you is is that
going to be a big negative or positive for Trump?
We have a texture who says Dan on the sentence
head of Trump in September. I think it's a plus
for Trump no matter how it comes out. Trump paters
are always going to hate Trump, lovers are always going
to love. Those on the fence will look at this
(23:43):
as this could happen to me, and it's just wrong.
I agree with the Texter. I think it is going
to benefit Trump, but I think there's also real risk
in it because you may have people in the middle
who say who are and just say, wait a second.
Now he's sentenced to prison, and I know it's kind
(24:05):
of a wrongful conviction, but now we've got this question
mark of whether he's going to be serving as president
from prison. That's just too much for me. Even though
they know it's wrong, it could cut that way. I
believe it's going to cut the other way. I even
had there not been the horrific assassination attempt in Trump's
heroic response, I think it's going to cut the other way.
(24:27):
And Americans don't want to live in a banana republic.
And you know the Democrats are just going to be
celebrating when this wrongful sentencing comes around. So yeah, I
think it's I think it's going to cut in his favor.
Now that assumes that the campaign's operating and he's operating
the way that they need to between now and then,
and I'm assuming that they will. Let's go to Sarge,
(24:48):
an airborne veteran here on the dan Kaplis show. Welcome
Sarge and Anna.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm out there. Actually I'm out here at DIA clouds.
They look like the Hman something nasty northeast of.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The work there.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, actually I'm dropping off I work security package. But now,
I just wanted to say that I'm a Desert Storm veteran,
and I had meant that he was a command sergeant
major uh at one time, and I just wanted to
(25:28):
mention I was a sergeant first class. I was basically
a platoon leader. But he just when you're in a
command position, you just don't leave your troops. I mean,
it's just and just having the fact that he left
(25:50):
us you and it to go over there just shows
you the character of who were who the Democrat Party
is voting for.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Arge. Let me ask you this question, because you have served,
and I'm sure you served with a bunch of people
who vote Democrat as well as Republican and unaffiliated as well.
Do you think this is going to have an impact
on those veterans who are undecided? And if so, how
big an impact.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I really shouldn't because, quite honestly, I'm happy to say
that it's about eighty five percent of as far as
I know, all veterans are conservative or a public kan
that I talked to, and the associations that I belong
(26:40):
to within the military, and the ones that are Democrats,
they're just looms, they are. And it's also a fact
of you know, what did you do while you're yeah.
(27:01):
I mean, what was your responsibility yeah, the clerk, yeah,
or were you actually fighting on the line?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And right? And Sarge so grateful for your service. I apologize,
I've got to hit this hard break, but thank you
for your service. Thank you for calling the show as well,
my friend. And and to Sarge's point, it may well
be that the damage to Walls and Harris from from
Walls saying that he was in war when reportedly he wasn't,
(27:30):
and and you know, people from among Wall's troops saying
he abandoned them when they were deployed to Iraq and
he chose to retire. Then that that the damage is
going to be much more so among the rest of us,
particularly you know, the the unaffiliateds in the swing states
and maybe some Democrat leaners who are persuadable, you know who. Okay,
(27:52):
we didn't serve, but we put people who did serve,
and people who served in war on a pedestal because
of what they were willing to do. And you just
can't lie about going to war. I've got to believe
this is really gonna hurt Harris by hurting Walls. You're
on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
The interesting thing too, is you know you're talking about like,
you know, you don't see much of Kamala, you know
how you see countless clips of Harris saying hilarious things.
Where is that one clip of her saying something smart?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Where is that?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Because you know it would be everywhere.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Remember that when they told you, hey, Joe Biden, you
should see him behind the scenes, see something out and
then you go, well, let me see that.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
That is such a smart point. I mean, think about it.
Have you ever as you're driving home tonight, have you
ever seen a clip of Harris just saying something brilliant? Yeah? No,
eight five five five eight two five five back to
our texts on time. That is a great not even
the blind squirrel finding the acorn? Yeah? Wow. And then
(29:01):
Jesse Waters, you know he's he's been on a bit
of a role. Here, Paris choked this.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
She chose Bernie Sanders. This is Bernie Sanders right here.
The squad loves this guy loves them. You see pictures
they're like almost undressing together. And she managed to pick
someone who looks older than Biden.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I would have gone with the younger guy, but who.
Speaker 12 (29:28):
Knows if this was even her choice. Eric Holder was
running the vetting op.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
He chows him.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
Probably, you know, he's Obama's wing man. He probably was like, Kamala,
you're picking walls. Let's just lose this and get on
to twenty eight. Because this is like a sacrificial lamb pick.
This is the pick you put up there to get
crushed and then so you keep your better candidates ready
for the next cycle.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
It's also a trick pick because.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
This guy's not Minnesota nice.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
He's Minnesota nuts.
Speaker 12 (29:56):
They keep saying this guy's there's a mid Western white value.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Come on.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
This guy as a lunatic. Sanctuary cities, driver's license for illegals,
sanctuary cities for sex changes for children, and if you
don't want the sex change for your kid, then the
state will come take your kid away from you. This
guy put tampons in boys' bathrooms, fourth grade boys bathrooms, tampons.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
He wants crt taut.
Speaker 12 (30:24):
He was all about toppling the Columbus statue. This guy
changed the flag of the state to look more like Somalia.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
What is wrong with this guy?
Speaker 12 (30:33):
In COVID he had a snitch line so your neighbors
could rat you out if you broke his lockdown rules.
This man is out of his mind. He actually went
and joined the army and then right before they deployed
to a rat quit and all his unit is like,
whoa bro, where'd you go?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
They can't stand this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:53):
I've never seen this.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Guy ever try to get out of a duy.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
He said he was deaf from being the army.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And blew a point one too. Boy, he just nailed
it there. So yeah, I think Wallas is going to
go down as a worse pick than Eagleton in McGovern
What's seventy two? I think it's it's a beautiful thing
to behold, and I think there's going to be more
every day and you can count on us to bring
it to you, Dan. So far, Vance is the most
unpopular VP in history based on his favorability ratings. You
(31:24):
know what. I think that this, this pick of Walls
gives Vance the perfect opportunity to show his stuff and
come into his own And I think we've seen him
in Fuego since the Wall's pick, and we played some
of that sound earlier. He nailed it. And then the
really cool move today when Air Force two was on
the same tarmac in Wisconsin that Vance's plane was, and
(31:46):
he didn't go up to Air Force two and try
to call Kamala Harris out. None of that. He went
over to the press. He went over to the press
assembled there, and he just said to the press, Hey,
I know she never talks to you, so I thought
I'd come over and see how you're doing that sort
of stuff. And it was really a brilliant kind of move.
(32:06):
So I think this selection of Walls is going to
bring Vance into his own Dan, I'm hearing Walls serve
much longer in the military than Vance.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
True.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Absolutely true. But the point here is if these reports
that he lied about going to war are true, you
can't lie about going to war. That's the definition of
stolen valor. You can't lie about going to war. We
put people who've gone to war on a pedestal, regardless
of party. You can't lie about going to war. And
(32:37):
then if these reports, including from many he served with,
that he abandoned his troops when they were deployed to
a rock and even though he was head, he then
retired so that he wasn't deployed to a rock with them. Yeah,
that's the kind of stuff that I think is really
going to matter to a lot of people, not who
(32:58):
serve longer. When Vance was ordered to a rock, he went, Dan,
Trump will do a better job earning the country from
prison than Biden did in public. We're getting to my
big question about okay, now that this horrific abuse of
our justice system, the wrongful conviction of Trump. Now there's
going to be a wrongful sentence in him to prison
(33:20):
in mid September time to be just ahead of ballots
going out in Pennsylvania. So is that going to help
her her? Trump will continue that conversation, Dan, positive exclamation points, Ryan,
what do you think the message is there? Just admiring
my positivity today, which I think is pretty consistent over
the decades. Yes, yes, yes, let's see some of these
(33:47):
get too long, Dan, Lane splitting just happened a couple
of minutes ago on my drive home. Thank you for that.
We're going to talk about it more tomorrow. This is
another example of the left's lack of respect for human life.
And listen, understand, in any functioning society, they're going to
be some innocent lives lost, you know, just from things
that happen, but unnecessary, totally unnecessary loss of life by
(34:11):
the left, changing laws to put in crazy things like
this new lane filtering in Colorado by motorcycles. We'll talk
about that some more tomorrow. Each of these lives is
precious and they just throw them away. They're willing to
just throw them away as part of this green agenda. Ryan,
great job. Thank you. Join us tomorrow and the Dan
Capush
