Glad you are here on this historic Tuesday. It is historic in so many different ways. What kind of history has been made? I believe it's history that's going to save the United States of
America and by extension, the world. Time will tell, and it won't be much time because early voting starts like tomorrow. No, but it's very soon. Eight five to five four zero five eight two five five text d an five seven seven three nine. I'm sure you've already heard the Latest today,
right, Well you did. You heard the Latest a long time ago if you listen to this show, because we were just talking about it weeks ago, and we've talked about it many times before that, and I said on this show, my grave fear is that Iran will attempt to kill President Trump because Trump had the courage to take out SOLA money, and as we've talked about forever on this show, it's one of the many reasons I admire President Trump the physical courage because he knew when he gave that order to take
out that evil Iranian terrorist general, that at that point he was forever multiplying the danger to himself and his family, and he did it to protect America. We talked about it just a week or two ago on this show, the threat Iron posed to his life. And I'm not saying it's Iron that tried to take him out Saturday, though you can't completely rule that out. But here's the point. We now have CNN, CBS, Fox, and many others reporting that, yes, in fact, USS had live intel for
weeks that Iran had an active plot to assassinate Trump. And yet the Biden administration on Saturday, through what must be considered the most grave act of incompetence imaginable, allows a direct killsh a direct kill shot on President Trump, one that would have been so easy to spot and stop. They allow that knowing there's an active plot by Iran to assassinate Trump. Isn't that in and of
itself disqualifying if on no other basis total incompetence. And again, I'm not saying that the shooter is connected to Iran, but I'm not saying you can
rule that out at this point. I mean, when you look at what we're learning now, and obviously it's a fraction of what's available, but what we're learning now goes back to the initial impression that it was truly miraculous that President Trump, at what must have been the one and only precise instant he could have done it, turned his head slightly, which caused the bullet to
go through his ear rather than through the back of his head. I mean, doesn't that tell you that this shooter, whoever this monster is as a person, doesn't that tell you he got off a highly professional shot under those circumstances, Because what we know now is he has to scale that roof, and obviously there's a lot of different reporting about how he got up there. He has to get across the roof, He has a police officer come up behind him on the roof. He then has to turn and point the gun
at the officer. He then has to get into position and take that first shot at Trump, which, from what we know now and again we don't know everything, under those circumstances, that shot was on target. That shot was going to kill Trump. If Trump doesn't miraculously turn his head at just
the right instant. So how could this happen? It's an almost unimaginable level of incompetence for the administration and power which controls Secret Service, knowing that there's a threat by a state, a nation state actor that has to be taken, very very very credibly given Trump taking out Solamani an active threat to kill Trump and the administration because listen, the administration is in charge of Secret Service.
That's why I say the administration through again a level of incompetence, maybe never before seen in human history, allows an easy, open kill shot on the president. And then how about this afterward? And this is such a true tell, isn't it? Afterward, after all of this happens, and by the grace of God, and you know, as we discussed yesterday, I believe it was divine intervention, by the grace of God, Trump survives, Biden doesn't fire my orcis, he doesn't fire Cheetle. What does that
tell you? And more importantly, no offense. What does that tell others who mean Trump? Okay, they allowed this essentially, this layup right, They allowed this layup kill shot knowing that Iran was threatening, actively threatening now
to assassinate Trump actively plotting to assassinate Trump according to human intel. What does it tell you that afterward Biden doesn't fire them, both of them immediately because he knows everybody around him knows the message that choosing not to fire them sinds. What message does that send? Do you think to others who mean harm, who mean harmed President Trump? What message does that send? Eight five five for zero five eight two five five the number would love your thoughts and
all of that. Real quick question, Dan, how many people in his administration in three and a half years has Joe Biden ever fired? Well?
Right? And one of the beautiful points Trump made at the debate, Right, one of the beautiful points he made, and I think one that resident with the American people, which goes back to a point that I've made a long time ago and should pierce the protective mental armor of anybody trying to defend Biden, which is, hey, wait a second, truly, can any person honestly say that they would hire Joe Biden for any job in their orbit right now, To be a babysitter at home, to be a greeter at
walmartin those are wonderful people with an important job. Now, any honest person would have to say they would not hire Biden for any single job they're aware of any job of importance to them. Let alone, would any company hire Biden to be at CEO? Of course not yet. America is supposed to hire him now to be it's CEO, it's commander in chief. It's nonsense, it's ludicrous. But getting back to this point, Listen, it's been no secret that Iran wanted to kill Trump. Aron put out a video.
I'm going to tweet it out shortly. Aron put out a video, a video alone long time ago showing one of the ways it was planning to kill Trump, but promising to kill Trump. And against that backdrop, the Biden administration allows this obvious, open, predictable in the sense that anybody looking at the situation new then yeah, hey, if somebody with a weapon got up on that roof, they could shoot the president from there and allow that to
occur. But again I come back to, I come back to I think the most damning evidence that afterwards Biden does not fire my Orchis and Cheetah. What does that tell you eight five five or zero five eight two five five? Hey, we have lots more to talk about as well, lots more to talk about from an amazing night last night as a former Democrat. You know, I sat there last night loving every minute of it. For a
couple of reasons. One is because if you just closed your eyes or your parachute it in you might think you're watching the Democrat National Convention until you know the really moving entry of President Trump et cetera. But the other is, I vividly remember I've told this story before, but it's it's even more relevant now, or maybe relevant for the first time. But I remember as a
young kid sitting there with my family watching the Republican National Convention. And I cannot remember the exec year, but we were watching it as a family, you know, south side of Chicago. My dad a cop. My mom became one of the original pro life activists after Row. But we're sitting there and we're watching the Republican National Convention and my father, who never says a negative word about anybody or anything, was just disgusted and I what's up.
He says, there's not a single black face there. And I remember, like Ryan, like it was ten seconds ago, looking at the tube. It was a tube, looking at the tube and there wasn't a single black face, and my dad was disgusted by that, and I'll never forget that image. And so looking last night at this new version of the Republican Party, and it's not like their Publican Party. It just became this way. The Republican Party for a very very long time has cared deeply about people of
color and wanting to give equal opportunity, et cetera. I just didn't appreciate that or believe it as a Democrat. I do now that I know the party firsthand. But then last night to see the GOP do that, it was so beautiful. And we'll have some of that sound Union leader as well. And Trump's got it right, and we've talked about it before. For the GOP to win and the GOP to matter, it has to be the party of working people, and he has it well on its way to that.
So some hot sound from last night. I want to get your take on all of this, including in light of this new information I put new end quotes. We've talked about it for a long time on the show, that the administration is known for weeks that Iron is actively plotting now to assassinate Trump. They allow this wide open kill shot on Saturday. Shouldn't that Shouldn't
that in and of itself, that level of incompetence disqualify Biden. You're on the Dan Kaplick Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. I've got a Texter who I think, you know, I might be driving and just misheard or might be insincere, but he says, Dan, I do like listening to your show, but today I had to change the station
because I couldn't take listening to you. Reaching on the quote Iran possibility of the shooter, Wait a second, I said repeatedly, I am not saying that the assassin of President Trump, the attempted assassin of President Trump, is tied to Iran. I said that repeatedly. Now, I don't think investigators
should rule that out without looking into it. But I said repeatedly, I'm not saying he's tied to Iran. My point is that the administration, knowing that there's an active effort by Iran to assassinate Trump, what would allow that kind of that kind of fatally poor security on Saturday should disqualify Biden based on that incompetence alone. I said that repeatedly. So I don't know what that texter heard eight five five for zero five eight two five five the number.
But the other fact that he takes issue with, but from everything we know now from the outside, it's a fact, is that first that shot, that particular shot was on track to kill Trump under all of those conditions, that shot was headed right into the side of his head until Trump miraculously turned
his head slightly. So what does that tell you about the abilities of this monster who under all of those circumstances somehow got himself up onto that roof and somehow, even while a police officer was pursuing him and he had to point his gun at the officer, still was able to get a shot off that was on track, from everything we know at this point, to go into
the side of President Trump's head. Again, I believe I'm with those who believe there was divine intervention, but one way, the others think God, the president is alive. This is Don Junior talking to an MSNBC reporter at the GOP convention. What does that change going to look like? Don? What practically your father as president? I think you would even say it was a divisive figure. What's it going to look like in the second term. I don't think he was a divisive figure at all. I think the media
created divisiveness around him. They lied about Russia Russia collusion, They said he was a traitor. They went after him in every which way is possible if the media actually starts being an honest broker, talking about the things that he did, the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world, rather than the disaster that we're living right now. I think you do everyone in the country big favor. I know we have. Agreation is
important, Jim. I covered the family separation crisis closely. When we continue to see policies like separating five thousand children deliberately from their parents, you mean the Obama administration, And what do you know they didn't do that, sir? Sure, Oh, there be a second family separation policy. It's MSDNC. So I expect nothing less from you clowns, even today, even forty eight hours later. You couldn't wait. You couldn't wait with your lines and
with your nonsense. So just get out of here. Boy. I'll tell you he is. And I've interviewed him a couple of times don He's just one of the sharpest people I've ever met, ever heard, ever seen, ever watched. And I had thought all along from the outside, nobody ever told me this that within the Trump family there was a hope that he would succeed President Trump as president. And I do wonder had President Trump won that second term consecutively, had he won it back in twenty if if that would
have been the play, because boy, it's really really sharp. Don't agree with every single thing he's ever said, but agree with a lot of it, and talk about super sharp. Eight five five for zero five eight two five five. The number here is the Secret Service director saying the buck stops with her, but not really. We sat down with director Kim Cheetle today for an exclusive interview. What was the reaction when you saw the unfold on
Saturday? Shock and then concern, obviously for the former president. This is an event that should have never happened. Who is most responsible for this happening? What I would say is that the Secret Service is responsible for the protection of the former president. So the buck stops with you, the buck stops with me, I am the director of the Secret Service. It was unacceptable
and it's something that shouldn't happen again. The President and Homeland Security Secretary said today they had one percent confidence in you, but there are some members of Congress calling on you to resigne. I appreciate the secretary's comments, and we're going to continue to be transparent and communicate with people. You plan to stay on absolutely, I do plan to stay on. Yeah, But this is
on Biden, right. I mean, Biden should have fired both immediately, and he sends a very very dangerous message to those who mean harmed to Trump by not firing both immediately. On a much brighter note, Senator Tim Scott, last night, if you didn't believe in miracles before Saturday, even leaving right now, thank God Almighty that we live in a country that still believes in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Alba and the Omega, and our God, our God still saves, he still delivers,
and he still sets free. Some more from Kim Scott. He was really good last night because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle, but an American lion got backed up on his feet and he ruled. He ruled. Jesse did loving that one more than from Senator Scott. I know this is going to offend the liberal elites. Every time I say it, it offends him. But let me say it one more time. America is not a racist country. No we're not. But if you are looking
for racism today, you'd find it in cities run by Democrats. Look on the South Side of Chicago, poor black kids trapped in failing schools, thousand shot every single year, including one of my former interns, Dei Kwon. But there's good news. It's conservative values that restores hope. It's Republican policy
pse that lifts people up. The other good news is that you've got enough people of color who are starting to realize that it's the Democrat Party that has these policies that are flagrantly, blatantly racist in effect, starting with the Democrats' total devotion to abortion, which kills four or five black children for every white
children, and no child should be killed. And then if the Democrat policies don't kill you before birth, person of color, then they hold you down afterward by opposing to the death true school choice, which would liberate so many people of color and give them a fair opportunity to compete in life. But that's the last thing this Democratic Party wants. So more and more people of
color are realizing that, and I think it's reaching a tipping point. And tipping point doesn't necessarily mean that a majority of folks in this situation do all at the same time, but that enough folks do to change the outcome of elections or change the future of their lives, particularly the lives of their children, because you put conservatives in power, and all of a sudden, a lot more people of color are going to be born, a lot more people
of color are going to have a fair opportunity to compete in life, and many more people of color are starting to realize that. So so many reasons for hope. When we come back, going to defend a CNN commentator whos under attack from some on the right. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. And I think we all can agree whether people like him, well, they don't like him, and line of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough
SOB. I loved seeing Shawn O. Brown there. I don't agree with everything he says, every policy wants but I loved seeing him there. That's the future of the GOP, the Party of working people. And in terms of good powers, my lord, if you win Wisconsin, there is no path for Biden. Let home Michigan or Pennsylvania real quick. That was a tongue in Sheek remarked, because if you spell out the letters of Shawn's name,
Sean O'Brien is SOOB and his Twitter x handle is teamster Soob. You know what was so interesting about his comment there, You know, the Trump's proven to be one tough SLB. I've talked before on the show about how my amazing wife just despises President Trump. And listen, she as a registered Democrats, showed great courage in supporting John McCain. She hosted a town hall at his request, things like that. But she just doesn't like Trump.
But after Saturday, you know, we were at an event Saturday night and she just said to me, and I give her great credit for it, she just said, to me, boy, he is one tough SOOB. And it was in a very very complimentary way, you know, because it just showed a character in that moment, that raw moment, human moment. It just showed his the depth of his character, and I think a lot of new people were impressed with him. Hey, let's go to the VIP line. Welcome Tye Winter to the show, or as we call him,
John Dutton. Ty is, of course, assistant minority leader of the GOP here in Colorado. Tie, welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show. Thanks for having me. It's always a good time to be on the show with you in and honor well, thank you, my friend, the honors ours. But you saw Costner is not going back to Yellowstone. They're not going to shoot these final episodes with him. No, that's crazy. I've been looking forward to see the new movie he just produced and it's now, but
I haven't had a chance yet. Unfortunate. It was a good show, but you know, it is what it is. And as they say, the show, let's go on and the new movie looks good, but that it looks like he has this fake mustache on at one point, but I got to see the whole movie. But the reason we talked Yellowstone with Tie is he is like Colorado's John Dutton. I mean, he is the real
deal. And so I wanted to get you on TI to get your reaction to this Stephen Woodrow stuff, this prominent Colorado state Rep. Who went national on setate. I mean, if I remember, I don't remember the exact timing, but it was very soon after this assassin almost took Trump's life and he's sending out these vile tweets. So give folks your take on that. You know, Dan, thanks for bringing it up, and really it's wrong
and disgusting as a nation. You know, we even talked about this during last session, about trying to heal and find a path forward for its citizens. And then I happen to be watching it live. My family's done pound for something, and I was watching it live in the afternoon and just like
heart dropped to the floor. It was aware his feeling. And then you get online and you sell this viitual coming from you know, different people, and then you know, the comments come up from Rep. Woodrow, and I was like wow, because Dan, he tweets constantly during committee, He's constantly carrying wrote comparing Mega and Republicans to you know, the right and different things that we see throughout so, I mean, the bad things and it's
just not right. And much leads into the assassination attempt on President Trump that Vitua woman. Even the character assassination that we go through as Republicans and Conservatives, they write their own marriatives about us. They put us in a box, and if you try to explain your way out of it, it's not good enough, even if you have a good enough, you know reason.
So just what we deal with. And it's just un fortunate that he tweets this right after the man almost loses his life, because in America, nobody should be happy or nobody should promote any type of political violence. And I think everybody knows now the tweet said from this Representative wood Row, Stephen Woodrow, D two Denver, the last thing we needed was sympathy for the devil. But here we are, and hey, and I may have missed it.
Did police ever condemn him for this? I haven't seen anything from the governor. The Democrat state party chair condemned him. There's been comments from leadership saying that it was a bad tweet, but they've already pivoted to now he's receiving threats, so you know, they flipped it on its back to where you know, what he said was wrong, but you know, you need to stop the violent threats against him, which he shouldn't go through either.
That's wrong as well, but you know, and it's just his his If you would call it an apology, which I don't think it's an apology. They wrote about it in one of the publications there in Denver, and it was a half hearted apology. It doesn't All it does is save him in the media, and it doesn't actually apologize to the people that are hurt by this. You know, Trump supporters, anybody that would think this was disgusting, that's not a Trump supporter. So it was just an easy skate out
for him and tell us. I don't know this guy, I assume you've met him, spend all of time with some in person, Well, how do you think this came down? I mean, what kind of mentality, what kind of a brain, what kind of person? What would sit there watching all of this and then soon afterwards tweets something like this out How does
a person get to that point? You know, Dan, I really haven't spent a whole lot of time with him, but I will tell you when he does speak at the Capitol. You know, there was in his I guess what you would call apology. You know, there was talk about you know, just wasn't thinking straight or it came off different than I wanted to. Woodrow is very meticulous about what he says. There's times I've seen him come down to the wall, especially when he has to speak against his colleagues
legislation if you can't vote for it. And I've sat back and watched him write speeches, and he's very meticulous about what he says. So, you know, to play it off is like it was an off the cup re mark. He's very literal. I mean. The secondly, you know, like I said, I haven't spent much time with him at the Capitol. He's not in the circle of legislators that I work with on legislation. You know, everybody kind of has what they go there and work on and for.
But you know, I mean, like you know, seen at numerous times in committees where constituents are showing that he's tweeting. I've seen tweets that say some pretty horrible things about Republicans. And if the end of the day down what this comes down to is is we need to thought this in this country. But the accountability, they're already trying to shift the accountability on conservatives, and they forget that in twenty sixteen that Trump supporters were getting milkshaped and
beat up leaving rally though. Yeah, and that there was a teenager ran over in the northern part of the States, and that you know, you know, Harley Kirk and Riley Gains and anybody that wanted to speak on a college campus had to have security. I mean, Ben Shapiro. So this all it's conservatives that have caused this violence. Now simmer down. You shouldn't feel this way. This has been going on way before anything else that we
can even discuss. Yeah, and so many on the left view honesty as a weakness, right, I mean, they just revel in this constant dishonesty. But my last thought on this, and ty Winter kind enough to join us GOP assistant minority leader in the House, is is when he tweets the last thing we needed was sympathy for the devil. Has he ever stopped to think how many policies he pushes he celebrates that the devil would just love Right, So you talk about the irony of that, but hey, I appreciate
the hard work you're doing down there, and everybody's doing down there. It has to be absolutely maddening to go up against so many on the left who are so dishonest, so hateful. I've always said venom interferes, hate interferes with brain function. I think we saw that again here with this representative Woodrow. And keep up the good work, my friend. Thanks Dan. And it's like I said, it's an honor to serve the good people of Colorado.
And we're going to make movements and we're going to get things done. I have faith, you know, we're strong now, we're united, and we're going to push forward and we're going to do good work for Colorado. So thanks for having me on, and God bless Colorado and most importantly, God bless the United States of America. Sir, Amen to that. Take
care. That's Representative ty Winter. Hey, I want to fire up this sound I told you about before the break, and this is from Kate Bettingfield on CNN and this is just this morning and she's talking about some you know that Biden needs to come after Trump harder. And here's the phrase to you.
He has said many many times, after having been questioned many times about this, that he's not stepping down and he's going to be the nominee so at some point Democrats have to decide that they want to try to win this election and turn their fire on Donald Trump. I think there is I should have said turned their fire. I apologize that that was not the phrase that I meant. They need to turn their focus on Donald Trump. Yeah, and listen, not the best choice for it's I get it. But it's
not stuff like that. It's not stuff like that that I condemn the left for. It's not using terminology like that that you causes mentally deranged to go out and think about taking out Trump. It's the other stuff they do when they compare him to Hitler, when they say he's this clear and present danger to democracy and if Trump wins, will lose our nation and we'll never have
a free election again. It's that kind of stuff, Not when people use terminology like fight terminology and things like that that are that are commonly used in a political sphere. It's not language like that. But it's the other stuff where they demonize Trump to the extent where they've got to know that there are some deranged people out there who are going to think, oh my goodness, disrespected person is saying Trump's Hitler and this and that I have no choice.
I have to go take them out in their deranged mind that they've got to know when they demonize Trump in those extreme ways, they are dramatically increasing the danger. It's not a matter of words like this that are commonly used in politics. You're on the Dan Caplas Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Wow, And then I'll go through everybody listening right now. There's something about that song. It brought to mind for them, some
kind of powerful memory, right probably every single person listening. And for me it was automatic. It was not a thought process. Joe was four and you know, so I would drive him to like pre k after nine to eleven, and we, like everybody else, had the you know, American flags, the plastic ones. You just had a little hook for your window, and we would play this song as we would drive and both of us
just singing it at the top of our lungs, you know. And I'm sure everybody listening can relate to something like that, and particularly from that post nine to eleven era. But this song, did you watch last night? I did? Yeah out to that yeah yeah, oh yeah. What do you mean to watch? Because you're going back to that memory I'm talking though last night. Oh it was iconic. Yes, no disrespect to the president, but that memory with Joe more powerful. But yeah, last night was
everything we thought it would be right. And that gets me to and I'll get to the phones right now and back to our great textures. But but that gets me to a point I want to make. You're going to be seeing these headlines now, like there's a headline out there. Trump gets no bounce in polls from the assassination attempt, and I expect you'll see headlines Trump gets no bouncing polls from the convention, and this one happened to be a
morning console poll where he just kept his one or two point lead. Here's the point, when you see all that reporting on poles, it's very, very possible that President Trump has reached the max, the highest point that he can reach in the polls, regardless of the level of support. For this
reason, we know this from experience. It's not theory. There are only so many people who are willing to tell a pollster they're going to support Trump, and so it may be we've simply reached that point where while he's gaining additional support for all the reasons you think he would. It's not going to show up in the polls because he's reached the max of the number of people willing to tell a pollster they're going to support Trump. Let's go to Lance
and Evergreen. You're on the Dan Kapla Show. Welcome, Hi Dan, thanks for taking my call. I wanted to add your opening statements when you open the show today. Yes, both who saying Obama and Joe Biden had done everything they can to make Iran rich again. Wasn't it didn't didn't Obama send them six billion dollars? Oh? No, that was by we found out what for? Yeah, hostages? He rewarded around with six billion. But even worse than that, Trump had iron virtually broke Iran didn't have the
money to engage in a lot of the evil they're engaging in now. Trump had it figured out, and Biden came in and immediately unraveled that as fast as he could. And that's why Biden should you know. I can't remember if a justice made the point or not, Lance, but but but a
similar point. I believe that Biden should be very grateful for the Supreme Court immunity ruling, saying you know that a president can't be criminally charged for official acts because you think of all the different official acts of Biden, to start with the southern border that have caused so much death and destruction in this country and are arguably an obligation of his legal duties, and stuff like that could could get virtually every president prosecuted. But yeah, you look at how Biden's
policies have have helped Iran in so many different ways. It's obscene. I don't remember who who went to but didn't Obama send a helicopter with a palate loader. Yeah, yep, that's right, that's right, And I can't remember the amount. Maybe Ryan does, but it was to Iran, yes it was, and it was cash in front of it. It sure sounded
like code to me. When Joe Biden came out and said it's kind to put Trump in the cross theirs bullseye, he said in the bulls eye hate appreciate the call ans and bizarrely, and we'll play in the five o'clock hours some of that sound. It's stunning. I mean, every time Biden goes on air, he makes it worse for himself for obvious reasons. He's not competent to be president. But I do want you to hear that sound in
the five o'clock card. But with Lester Holt, he was trying to defend himself against saying it's time to put Trump in the bullseye, and he said, well, I didn't say crosshairs. But listen, I just think. And this is the news of the day for those who just joined us. It's multiple networks confirming the Biden administration is known for weeks that there is live human intel that Iran is actively plotting, has been actively plotting before Saturday to
kill Trump. Doesn't mean Saturday shooter was tied to Iran. It does not mean that. But the point is for the Biden administration to be so incompetent that any shooter, no matter who, no matter what, that any shooter would be able to have that clean kill shot at not only a presidential candidate, but at someone the administration knew what was likely under active assassination attempt by a state actor. That's a level of incompetence that should alone disqualify Biden from
the presidency. God forbid, if Trump had then the failure to fire him afterwards. That's what I'm saying right now, if Trump had died, God forbid, would Kim Cheadle have lost her job? Then? If the answer is yes, then the only difference between her losing her job or not is a bullet one inch or the other. That's the only difference between her losing her job or not. Well, I think the answer is no. If
Biden wasn't going to fire her and fire my orchis after Saturday. And again the new information today the administration knew on Saturday, had known for a while Aron actively plotting to assassinate Trump now and that's that's the level of competence you get. But no, there's no reason to believe that God forbid, if if Trump had died, that they would have fired him. And that's why many reasons American people are going to fire Biden
