American Way going to be? What's it going to mean?
Is it going to be what it's always been, the
best of it? Or is there going to be a
(00:22):
new American way? And part of that is what we
open with today, not because we want to, but because
we have to. We have plenty of fun stuff to
do in the show today, but we have to open
with this because we're adults, right, We're responsible adults. We
have to open with the latest schools slaughter. And we
have to open with that because the children and the
(00:44):
teachers and everyone affected deserves the respect of that.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But also because we know.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The next school shootings in Colorado are being planned right now.
We know they're being planned.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
As we speak.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
They're always being planned in Colorado, and then it's just
a matter of which ones are going to get to
the point that people are killed.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And so we have to.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Talk about what's happened in Georgia today. To learn the lessons, right.
I think we have that obligation, just as responsible people.
We have the obligation to learn the lessons from school
shootings to make sure that mistakes aren't repeated in the future.
And as we look at Georgia right now, we don't
know if there are any mistakes made by this school
or school district or not. We don't know what the
(01:27):
lessons from Georgia will be, but we sure as all
know this, we've got to learn them. And the reputations
and feelings and politics of school districts and administrators and
politicians down there shouldn't matter at all. It should all
be about getting to the truth, learning the lessons, and
making schools safer. But that brings us to Colorado, right,
(01:51):
because we know that more are coming, and we know
that because Colorado is controlled by the left, the left
that cares more about their anti gun ideology than they
do the lives of these students that we have many, many, many,
many children in Colorado who are left defenseless as we speak.
I mean, school days pretty much over right now except
(02:12):
for extracurricular stuff. But when they go back tomorrow at
seven thirty eight, eight thirty nine, whatever, many of school
children in Colorado will be left defenseless because of the
Left and their anti gun politics, which which brings them
to the point where they're so opposed to guns that
they make a conscious decision to leave the most precious
(02:36):
thing on the face of the earth, these students sitting
there defenseless against a bad guy with a gun. They
make that decision in advance. It's premeditated, it's deliberate. It's
made in boardrooms, it's made in the governor's office, it's
made under the Golden Dome. They make these decisions in advance.
That's what the Left does. And then they shed crocodile
(02:59):
tears when these Colorado kids get killed in classrooms, and
they try to twist those horrific killings to take away
Second Amendment rights, rather than do what they should have
done in the beginning, which is say, Okay, we know
that there are bad guys coming for our kids. We're
going to make sure they at least have a fighting
chance when the bad guys get their Instead, they decide
(03:21):
the opposite. They decide to leave those children defenseless. And
how awful that is in every level right, and how
awful it is to the teachers and staff and everybody
else in schools. And we've seen teachers, right, We've seen
the teachers like Dave Sanders. He's not the only example.
They stand up and be willing to lay down their
(03:42):
lives to protect their students. But far better that these
schools and districts in advance would just say, we know
the bad guys are coming. We're not going to play
Russian Roulette with our kids' lives and our staff and faculty,
and we're just going to have at least one good
guy or gal with a gun there to give him
a fighting chance. Sake five for zero five eight two
(04:02):
five five the number. But nope, not the left in Colorado.
And it's one of the prices we pay for living
in a leftist control controlled state, which raises the question,
you know, every now and then somebody will say, yeah, hey,
why don't you move? And you know what rais is
a really interesting question. First, I'm not gonna move because
(04:22):
I'm a fighter.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm not going to run.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know, I was so blessed and privileged to be
dropped into this beautiful place, you know, through the Evans
Scholarship program moved me out from Chicago, put me in
University of Colorado, Boulder with all the other golf caddies who,
like Caddyshack, won the scholarship.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, I'm so blessed to be here. I'm a fighter.
I'm not gonna run.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm going to stay and try to make it as
good as I can make it. But I do wonder,
and Ryan, you're kind of in this position. I mean,
like when you have kids, or I don't know, maybe
you do already. No, how do you know that?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm very sure I would have been notified by now.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You think so court order.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of some kind. I think so.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I mean unless it's like the movie elf Right where
Buddy shows up and yeah, all those years have gone by.
I guess it could be possible. I can't rule it out,
but I'm ninety nine percent that all I'm saying. Let's
say that you meet missus right tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Awesome, Okay, it would be miss right then then she'd
become missus right eventually. Okay, that'd be the plan hopefully
with you. But let's say you meet her tomorrow. Do
you raise your kids in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
A really good question, I'd be.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I'd be very hesitant to do so, but I was
just thinking about in your shoes.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
If I were you, I wouldn't move back to Illinois.
I mean, that's not gonna be any power that was.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Not on the list, you know, early on, because you know,
my wife had so many and I'm sure lots of
people listening had been in the same position, right, But
she had so many great job opportunities because she was
so very good at what she did as a news anchor.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So every now and then we'd fly out.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I remember one big trip to San Diego where it
reached the point of looking at homes and everything else
because of job opportunities for her out there.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And everything else.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And then we looked around and she just said, no, no,
Colorado's so great. We're we're just staying in Colorado.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That was before legalization marijuana, yep. That was before the
left took over completely. That was before all of this
other ugliness. So, you know, our kids now are older.
I mean it always you know, as a parent, right,
it's just your kids are always fill in the blank.
They're always six, they're always seven, they're always eight, they're
always you know, your kids. But they're older now, you know,
(06:42):
and so we're not facing those issues. But if they were,
it would be I think it'd be fifty to fifty
on whether we'd stay.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Could I be lured? That is a different question, And
the answer to that is yes. And the three states
that come to mind almost immediately are Texas, Florida, and Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And do the math from there as to why those
would be Yeah for me.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, yeah, no, so interesting interesting it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Uh kight five five for zero five A two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
It's nothing personal, it's not a pejorative. We just know
that leftist policies make for a much more dangerous state
in so many different ways. And crime, I mean you
start with that obviously, and then and then you start
with legalization of drugs, and then you start with stuff
(07:29):
like this of not willing to protect most school kids
with an armed good guy, that kind of stuff. They're
just more dangerous places to live.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, And I think about too, Dan, what's going on
right now in Aurora? I just spoke with a very
impassioned Danielle Jirinsky Yes on my program and it was
a very moving conversation. And would that be happening in
Polk County, Florida with Sheriff Brady Judd.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I can't wait to see what happen in Chicago because
you know, I grew up in Chicago. My dad was
a cop there for thirty years. And my dad, we
were talking about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Such a stud and so talented, and before his heart
attack when he was in his sixties, he was going
like six three two forty and he was an athlete. Yeah,
and anyway, you know, one of his first big assignments
was undercover with gangs. Hey, he's a six foot three
and a half white guy, back when six foot three
was really tall.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, yeah, but he was so good he could pull
all that stuff up.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
All I'm telling you is these Venezuelan gangs trying to
take over apartment complexes back there. You could you could
retire Chicago's debt by selling the cable rights to.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That, right, totally.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, Crips, bloods peastone Nation. I mean, oh man, I
don't think. I don't think the Venezuelan gang knows what
it's getting into there.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
My point on that, Dan, it kind of goes along
with Linds.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
What you're saying and what I'm implying that Sheriff Grady
Judd County, Florida, anywhere in Florida, anywhere in Texas.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
This is not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And why not, because you deserve what you tolerate, Dan,
And unfortunately, right now, for whatever reason, there are powers
that be in Aurora, in the state of Colorado at
large that are tolerating this well, so they deserve it.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, wait a second, I'll take it a step further.
You endorse what you tolerate, correct, And they tolerated for
a reason.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They want this.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'm not saying that the left sits here and says, oh,
I want that apartment complex taken over by.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Venezuela and kangs.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, but they'll deny it's happening, right, they'll light to
your face right, just for political reasons. But they want
the border open, they want all the What they see
is Democrat voters coming over. And they don't care how
many young girls get raped on the trip to the border,
how many of their mothers get raped, how many of
their dads get killed. They don't see these people as human,
(09:55):
They see them as numbers. They see them as Democrat votes,
and so they lure them up to the border. They
want them flowing across the border in record numbers. And
if that means somebody's gonna bang.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Down your door out in Aurora and.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Stand there with a semi automatic rifle.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
What Democrats don't care about that?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Eight five five for zero five A two five to
five the number when we come back, Kamala Harris has
finally agreed to.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
The debate rules.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Why do you think she's so scared of them? I
believe I know that answer. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
In twenty nineteen, she endorsed she raised her hand during
a debate when when the Democratic candidates r president were asked,
do you support decriminalizing illegal border crossing? She did raise
her hand. I understand her position now is more to
the center or more even conservative.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Before I play the rest of this, understand what's going
on here? Okay, this is Jake Tapper. I'm live with
Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, and Tapper's trying to give
her another what's a polite term, another massage here right?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Another? Somebody said it the other day while.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
A columnist described that CNN interview as a sponge bath
so trying to give her another sponge bath here by
saying oh, no.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
No, she's her position has moved to the center.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, no, she wanted to decriminalize border crossings, and now
she's saying she wouldn't, and anybody who believes her is
out of their mind. But that's a setup to listen
to this new excuse that Kelly is offering for her.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Does she need to explain?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, I think she has explained it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean you're talking about a primary in twenty nineteen, yes,
where somebody asked, you know, throw your hand up.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yes, you know, you got like a half a second
to think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So that's the defense. Now, Oh, she only had half
a second to think about it, So of course she
threw her hand up and said, yes, decriminalize the border.
So that's how stupid all these democrats think we are.
You think she hadn't thought about that issue before then,
It hadn't come up before then whether border crossing should
be decriminalized. Well, even if he's right, it's a disqualifier
(12:00):
on something that major. She would say, Oh, I got
half a second, Yeah, I decriminalize the border.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You know what I do In those scenarios, Dan I'm
watching Mark Kelly just spew that ridiculousness. I put Dan
Caplis on that stage, in that moment, and with one
second to think, Dan, do you think you would have
formulated a response that was in accordance with your values
on any topic?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yes, but as you know, any of us far in
advance would have anticipated that question and decided what our
answer was going to I'm talking whether it happened through
a show of hands or hey tell me, do you
want to decriminalize the border? So anyway, that's the newest excuse.
Now this is a lead into and I want to
work in calls as well as text, but it's a
lead into the big flashing headline as we hit air
(12:42):
today that Kamala Harris's camp has finally I put in
the finally agreed to the terms of the debate. I
want to touch on why she is so terrified of
those rules, and I think it may be a reason
that you haven't considered russ In Littleton, You're on the
Dan caplessh'.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Welcome, Hi, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Living the dream? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
They have me too, trying to at least, Hey, these
shootings are all the same, They're never gonna find out
anything other than somebody shot somebody. You know, they used
the gun, and they need to take the guns away.
That's their argument. We're going to get it's the only
solution we're gonna get. You're only investigating, we're gonna get.
They're gonna say they're gonna investigate. Oh, we're looking to it.
We'll do everything, can't look in at blah blah blah,
(13:25):
blah blah. How many of these shootings in the past
twenty five years from Columbine has anything been disclosed as
far as what, why man anything else other than the gun,
as the gun is what we got what? But there's
no why. There's never a why there. They don't touch that.
They locked the guy away. Not that I'm saying he's
(13:46):
he's riper, he's got a good thing to express. But
they say, well, we give him attention, and then they're
gonna create more killers. That's all. That's a lie. If
you don't want to, you know, look into a problem
because you're afraid you're gonna give the attention. He cures
dead already, he's going to jail with us in his
life or whatever was going to happen here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, Well, Russ, You're hitting on something really important and
in my opinion, and I know a little bit about this,
and I'll tell you why. The reason that so often
parents who have had their child murdered, other parents who
want school safer can't get full answers is because the
(14:25):
people who made mistakes want to bury those mistakes. They
want to hide those mistakes, and they often have very
powerful interest groups supporting them as they try to bury
and hide their mistakes. And that leads to one of
the great success stories ever. And that's right here in Colorado.
(14:45):
Because Russ started with Columbine. Right everybody listening, if they
were here, remembers the moment they heard about Columbine. But
following Columbine, obviously there had to be a major investigation,
and there was an investigative panel put together, but it
didn't have subpoena power. And then there was I think
(15:06):
it was the Speaker of the House at the time,
had suggested that there be a commission with subpoena power
headed by me to investigate what happened at Columbine. And
I told them I would take that job, and I
would lead the investigation as long as we had subpoena power,
So the Speaker pushed that, but it got shot down.
(15:27):
So they ended up with the Commission without subpoena power,
and obviously that got frustrated in a hundred different ways.
Now that's a lead up to this success story after.
And you can't call it a success story, right because
the change that should have happened decades before didn't happen
because of politics and self interest among powerful people and
(15:48):
everything else. But then you have two wonderful parents with
their beautiful daughter, Claire Davis, and she gets murdered at
a rap hole, and her parents want answers. They don't
want money, they don't want anything. They want answers. They
want to know the truth. They want to know about
the failure so other kids.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Can be protected.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So Claire's parents then wage this heroic fight and they
enlisted these really smart, courageous, well connected, powerful people, and
they were able to engineer a bipartisan bill called the
Claire Davis Act, which then changed Colorado law to make
it clear there was a duty of schools to take
(16:30):
reasonable steps to protect kids, and if a child was
murdered at school, that the parents would then have the
legal tools to go in and investigate and find the truth,
such as if they filed a lawsuit depositions, subpoenas, get documents,
et cetera, get witnesses under oath. So, thanks to Claire's parents,
(16:51):
we now have that law in Colorado. And then when
one of Colorado's greatest heroes ever, Kendrick Castillo, was or school,
saving his class, his entire class and the two teachers
in there from the methodical execution which the killers had
planned out very carefully. They were going to execute each
of them one by one, and Kendrick stopped that and
(17:14):
other brave classmates assisted. But after that, Kendrick's parents, John
and Maria said, you know, we want the truth. We
want to protect others, and so they used the Claire
Davis Act and they pursued a lawsuit. Not for money,
They've turned down the money at every turn. They pursued
a lawsuit to get to the truth so the lessons
would be learned and all would benefit and schools would
(17:37):
be made safer. And I've had the privilege of representing them,
and we've been through years of litigation that I've taken
twenty depositions in that case at this point. And then
we fought for a year. We fought for a year
to get the information in the depositions made public because
the school was trying to suppress that, and we've been
(18:00):
in court fighting that over a year. We've just recently
had final rulings in that case. In almost every area
the Castillos prevailed, so not of that information can be
made public. So the heroism of the Davis parents and
everybody who assisted them in getting that long place. Now
there is a way to get to the bottom of it,
and what we've learned, I think will scare.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
I come from a long line of tough, trail blazing
and phenomenal women. My grandmother would go into villages in India.
And because she was Indian and lived in India, and
she would go to the villages in India. It was
(18:47):
a famous story in our family. My grandfather would say
she was going to be the end of his career,
but my grandmother would go into the villages with a bullhorn,
talking with the women about the need to have access
to reproductive healthcare.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Do you believe that for one second?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Kamala Harris's grandmother going village to village in India.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Kill your children, Kill your children before it's too late.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Does anybody believe that with a megaphone with a.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Bullhorn, kill your kids before it's too late?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Anybody believe that?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
No, A, we should, we should do a segment on
biggest whoppers, right, I mean, and you flash kind of
immediately to Hillary Clinton, but but just kind of the
biggest whoppers that you get from these candidates. Wow, And
she's proud of that. She's proud of these people who
(19:46):
worship death. I do not get it. I mean no,
but none of us have to be scientists or philosophers
or anything else to realize wow, life, Like that's amazing.
That is really cool, and not too many people get
it and just be in awe of it. And yet
(20:09):
you got this whole group of people out there who
glorify the mass killing of it, and then they're proud
of it, like her, proud to the point they'll make
up stories that yet we're so into this killing that
my grandma went village to village in India with a
bullhorn saying.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Kill, kill, kill, And.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So interesting that that even in this made up story
she talks about Okay, so she went bullhorn village to
village talking about quote, reproductive rights.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Now everybody knows that's a lie.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because you're there reproductive rights. No, wait a second, why
why wasn't she talking about abortion rights? And this this
big boss now kind of this death star. They have
gone in the Harris campaign with reproductive rights on its
side and their whole tour.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Why doesn't it say abortion rights?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Remember Dan?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It was because they.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Know everybody knows abortion's right. Everybody knows as a matter
of science, it's the taking of it isn't human life.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
So they can't even use the word. But you remember, Dan,
it wasn't that long ago. I want to say, within
the last five years. Abortion is healthcare, remember that, they
would say it that way.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
But you're so right kidnapping his childcare right the same, Yeah,
that's going to be on the other side of their bus.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
You're exactly on point.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
At the convention, in Harris's speeches, they don't even say
the word abortion anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Because everybody knows it's wrong. Jared Polish, was that sound?
Jared Polus knows it's wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Democrats don't believe that abortion is good. We believe it's bad.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, even Jared Poliss knows that that's why they can't
use the word right yet she's she's so proud of
and into and worshiping of this mass killing. Listen, there's
no reason that abortion would be bad unless it was
the killing of an incent human life.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Right. Democrats don't believe that abortion is good. We believe
it's bad.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So they know it's the taking of an innocent human life.
Bill Maher, I mean, Bill Maher just flat out admitted
it and said no, he's he's okay with that, which is,
which is exactly where Harris and Poulis and the rest
of my rapp they know it's it's the killing of
an innocent human life. But but they're okay with that.
(22:29):
Come on, Billy, they think it's murder and it kind
of is.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm just okay with that, I am.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I mean, there's no billions of people in the world.
I'm sorry, we won't miss you. That's my position on them.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
What ye.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Is that not your position if you're pro choice, Well,
that's that's all of their position, right, I mean, that's
all these people. None of these people are dummies. You know,
they're smron smart people who do in sport moronic things.
But you're talking about Polish hicking Looper, Bennett Harris, the
whole bunch of them. They know it's killing. They know
it's killing an innocent human life. Now do you think Ryan,
(23:10):
they have the same rationale as as Bill, which is
but I'm okay with that. You know, they may, but
I think the rationale is more insidious. I think their ration,
and obviously Bill's is very insidious, but the rationale is, Hey, okay,
it's the killing of innocent human life. But if I
support that, then I get all this power, yep. And
(23:31):
if I don't support that, I don't get this power. Okay,
I'm going to support this mass killing. So I, Jared
Polis get power where I Kamala Harris get power.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's their analysis.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
It is because they're very cynical to what you just described,
and it's accurate because at least Bill Maher, he's a
true believer. What he said at the very end of
that quote is the most important part that if you
are pro choice, then yes, that's what you believe, if
you've got that kind of clarity of thought.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I don't think they do, because.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
When they try to wade into the waters of explaining
why there are no guardrails, why there are no limits,
why there should be no exceptions made for any reason,
that you can get an abortion at any time, for
any reason or no reason at all, or that at
the very end, a ninth term abortion by choice. Their
comeback isn't that it's wrong, it's that, well, that's just
(24:19):
so rare. That's usually when the child is going to
be born, brain dad, or there are complicating factors, and
that should be between a woman and her doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, and historically, that kind of dishonesty, that kind of
denial is what we've seen historically from the plantation owners, right,
and from all the politicians who supported slavery. It was
the same kind of denial. Well, now, listen, that's that's
a matter of freedom. That's a matter of freedom, that
that's the landowner's freedom to make that decision you don't
(24:51):
want a slave, don't have a slave. It's the same
mentality now treating these innocent human lives as property.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And what's happened.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's interesting if you look at kind of the discussions
within the death industry is there's a big, big body
of thought that wait a second, we're only hurting our
cause and making us look stupid by trying to claim
that it is not a human life.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
You know, we are better.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Off tactically, says a lot of these pro boarts to
acknowledge that it's a human life, but that the woman
has a right to take it. And so that is
really kind of the prevailing attitude among the power in
big abortion.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And you know, but it's.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
A long way from safe, legal and rare. Isn't it well?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right, because it's what I said it is. It is
a bunch of people deciding to make the trade off.
I'm going to support this mass killing in order to
get power and keep power. That that's the trade off
they're making. And I really like the way that Trump.
There's a lot Trump's doing on the life front right
now I don't like. But it's an easy choice whether
(25:58):
to support Trump or Commonla Harris for you know, a
very devoted pro life for like me, that's a very
easy choice to make, right, And so Trump isn't perfect, buddy,
is if you want to protect life and you got
a choice between these two people, it's the easiest choice
you will ever make in your life.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And that is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I like the way on the positive side, I
like the way that he is pointing out their extremism
every chance he gets, and that's what GOP candidates should
be doing at every level. Obviously, you're not going to
make abortion you're leading issue in a campaign, but you're
not going to run from it. And that's a big
mistake the GOP has made too many times, is running
(26:38):
from it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
They want that fight.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You're taking on that fight, and you're pointing out who
the real extremist is. And when voters realize wait a second,
Jared Polis supports allowing that child to be killed as
it's being born, then all of a sudden, he looks
much more like a monster than a moderate right and
I like the way that Trump is doing that. Eight
five five for zero five eight two five five number
(27:00):
Hey when we come back the Harris Camp, big headline
on seeing it. The Harris Camp finally agrees to the
debate rules. I think I know why they did and
why they're so terrified of these debate rules. Want to
kick that around with you, And we have some new
information appears to be factional information about the horror in
Georgia today.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Could it have been prevented? You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
It feels some kinship towards her as a mixed person.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Not personally, I find a lot of her trajectory to
not be my brand of woman leader. We've got three
major international crises going on and someone applying to be
commander in chief. As a woman, I want to see
you do more than you know appeal to giggling and
having a girl moment on the stage.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
That's MSNBC one of their panels, a mixed race self
identified mixed race woman.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Well, right there, Dan, let's hold it right there.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
How insulting is it to ask a person, well, don't
you identify with her because you're also a mixed race woman.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
What if somebody sat down with you or me?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Dan goes, well, don't you identify with Donald Trump because
he's a white man.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Well, this comes back to something that I know is
hard for folks like us to wrap our minds around
because it's the opposite of how we view things. But
we have to appreciate the fact that most on the
left and almost everybody in power on the left, looks
down on people of color. That's what we have to appreciate.
They look down on people of color. It's evil, it's insidious,
(28:35):
it's absolutely wrong, it's ignorant to the core. But most
of the people in power on the left, they make
it clear from the way they act they look down
on people of color, and so that's why they speak
to him that way. That's the only way you could
ever end up with something like this happening.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yesterday. We got Kamala Harrison Detroit.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
You better take a union member.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
On the five day week. You better thank a union
member for week.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
You better thank a union member for paid leave. You
better thank a union.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Member for vacas.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, and you see it in so many different ways.
I mean, look at this.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You got these people like Polis and the rest of them,
Kamala Harris tripping over themselves to glorify and support and
expand abortion when they know it's undeniable. It kills five
people of color for at a minimum, for every white
kid it kills, no kids should be killed. But they
openly celebrate this policy, which is the cornerstone of their
(29:39):
existence politically, and they know it's going to kill four
black kids for every white kid it kills. Talk about
looking down on people, right, and remember what Justice Ginsberg said,
She always understood the purpose of ROE was to limit
the populations we don't want too many of. That's not
my quote, that's hers. So yeah, that's that's how we
(30:00):
end up in this situation. Speaking of Kamala Harris, I
do want to get into the factor campaign just agreed
to the rules for the ABC debate, and so why have.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
They been so terrified of these rules?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And I understand almost all the attention is on the
muted mic, and I do think they're terrified of Trump's
might be muted, And I'll get to that in a second.
The rule they're most terrified of, and I've got the
proof for you, is the rule that she has to.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Stand up at a podium.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Did you see what happened in that CNN interview I
can't even call it an interview, right, CNN spongebat that
somebody said they had this goofy table. Yeah, she was
sitting at a table. It was her security blanket along
with walls. She had to be seated at a table.
And we've all known people, right, You probably know people
(30:54):
in your own lives who they've got these different issues
going on, and they've got these insecurities, and it manifests
in sometimes really different kind of ways. She has to
be seated at a table, and that's what her team
wanted for the ABC debate, that's why she had it
for the CNN interview. Part of it also is just
(31:17):
the visual. You know, she's five foot four, which which
is certainly not a criticism. Many great people are five
foot four. She's five foot four. Trump is six foot
three plus. And this race, if the Trump campaign approaches
it correctly, will come down to the contrast between strength
and weakness. So in a very dangerous time at home
(31:38):
and in the world, people are going to see on
this stage, you know, somebody who's five foot four, slight,
somebody who's six foot three. But more importantly, because we've
known some of the most courageous people ever in America
have been five foot four or shorter, and they've been
very slight of build, but great of stature and bravery.
(31:59):
But in this case you have Kamala Harris combined with
this contrast visually in stature, Kamala Harris, who has been
so pathetically weak and so many different policy ways and
in so many ways personally, to the point she has
to pretend she is on a call. So reporters can't
ask her about the execution of an American hostage. She
(32:20):
does one interview in the six weeks since she's been installed.
She's weak in so many ways. They're very concerned about
that contrast. Now, let's get back to the mute and
MIC's okay, this is an enormous problem for don't you
think an enormous problem for because the more she just
(32:41):
has to talk on her own, and she's counting on
ABC to bail her out when she starts to do
her thing, to interrupt, etc. But the more she just
has to talk, the less Trump can interrupt, the better
for Trump. But here's the other point that has not
been talked about enough. What was happening in that first debate,
(33:02):
claims the Biden camp, And you know, of course the
Biden camp wouldn't allow any other reporters in the room, so.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But they claimed that Trump was chirping at him while
Biden was trying to answer, and that we couldn't hear
it because the mic wasn't on good. She obviously has
focus and concentration issues.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
One other things i'd say about stature, Dan, And you're
painting the picture and it's a very stark one of
the contrasts, But it's more than that. Telsey Gabbert is
only five foot six, so she's a couple of inches
taller than Kamala. But think about how tall she looked
and sounded when she eviscerated Kamala on the debate stage.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Which right, and that was my point that Kamala. If
Kamala listen, if her brand was strength because of strength
of character and strength of ideas, the way she conducts herself,
you know, then then yeah, this wouldn't be an issue
for But when her brand is weakness for all of
those substantive reasons, and then you're then going to have
this contrast on stage. But Ryan and I think the
(34:00):
weird insistence on having a table there, I think that's
an insecurity anxiety thing. Remember that story about and it
was in one of the mainstream media reports back in
the days they did not want her as the candidate,
which was up until she was installed as the candidate,
about how she had to go to this dinner in
(34:23):
Hollywood that Biden was sending her to with Hollywood execs,
and she was so nervous and terrified to go. She
had her staff set up a mock dinner where they
just rehearsed what the dinner would look like and what
she'd say, and then she canceled it in the end. Anyway,
So yeah, between insisting on the table and now that
(34:43):
a big plus for Trump that that MIC's going to
be muted. Hey, when we come back, want to bring
you an update from the horrific school shooting in Georgia.
Some lessons to be learned there. And Kamala Harris, this
doesn't look good for her.
