Donald Trump narrowly escapes an assassin's bullet on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania - only to emerge an American folk hero like President Theodore Roosevelt, pumping his fist defiantly to the assembled crowd of supporters. Was there divine intervention at play? Was a guardian angel somehow watching over him? Dan explains why he believes so.

This is Dan Kaplis and welcome totoday's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis
Show. Please be sure to giveus a five star rating if you'd be
so kind, and to subscribe,download and listen to the show every single
day on your favorite podcast platform.Well, it does not set any more
American than what you saw from PresidentTrump on Saturday. And I know,
(00:21):
listen, I know JD Vance wasjust announced in all this and that,
and that's all important, and wewill get to that, but we need
to talk about what happened on Saturday. Because life is so fast, it
all becomes a blur, right,But some moments rise above all others and
they stick, they cut through thenoise, and that's what happens Saturday.
And we all wish it had neverhappened, right, but it happened,
(00:44):
and it happened, and America willnot forget and it will have an impact
that will not go away, includingon this election. So let's start the
show by focusing on that. We'llget to the Jdvance stuff and everything else
that's happening. We're monitoring that.I'm sure you are too. Well.
What happens Saturday is unlike anything you'veseen in your lifetime. It's unlike anything
I've seen in my lifetime. It'sone of those things that affects you immediately
(01:11):
in a very deep way. It'sburned into your brain. It's not even
conscious, it's before you even processit. And then of course we all
start to think about it. Butwhat matters most, what matters most for
every American, what matters most forthis election, is what was burned into
people's brain before they even had achance to think about it, because that
(01:32):
is a core truth. That isa core truth. And I think the
vast majority of people, I thinkGod created us wired to seek the truth.
I think the vast majority of peoplewant the truth. Things get distorted
along the way for some. Butthe truth could not be hidden that day.
And the truth that we saw ina moment that could not be rehearsed,
(01:53):
it could not be prepared for,it could not be faked, is
that Donald Trump is at his corea person of incredible strength and character and
courage and intelligence. And that camethrough in that moment. And so,
you know, lots of people havelots of disagreement with this policy or this
(02:14):
tweet, or this personality or thisor that but in that moment, it
was so raw, that's the keyword. Raw. That moment was so raw.
It revealed him. It revealed himin a way that I think will
open a lot of hearts and mindsto him. Now, a lot of
those people would never admit it,right, I think a lot of those
people are going to go ahead andthey're going to vote for Trump and they
(02:36):
will never ever admit it upon painof torture and death, but they're going
to do it because what they sawin that moment said, yeah, I
want that guy on the wall.I may not like him for this,
or I may not like him forthat, but I want that guy on
the wall. It's a dangerous worldwith dangerous people trying to do terrible things
to us. And even if hisopponent wasn't this feeble, old collapsing man,
(03:00):
they would want Donald Trump on thewall because how many people could do
in that moment what he did,and above all his Americans. People talk
about the lumpus and a group suburbanmoms, suburban's dad, blah blah blah.
Listen, there's a common denominator.And again, I believe we're created
to want to protect, to wantto protect good want to protect our family,
(03:22):
our loved ones, third us.And when it comes to protection in
a dangerous world, who else wouldyou want on that wall besides that guy
you saw Saturday on that stage.So it was that moment of realness of
rawness that I think has cut throughall the noise and we'll have a lasting
impact, not just through this election, because it's very, very important to
(03:45):
win the election, right because ifyou don't win the election, then you're
the nation suck. But when theelection isn't enough, it's not about ability
to govern and ability to get thesupport of Americans that do to do the
things that need to be done,because there's some really tough things coming right,
and to get the support of Americansto lead in positive directions. So
(04:06):
the value of this horror on Saturdayand Trump's incredibly impressive response to it goes
way beyond him winning the presidency.It goes to his ability to lead this
nation afterward. Eight five five forzero five eight two five five the number
techs d an five seven seven thirtynine. Of course, anxious to get
(04:28):
your take on all of that,and the questions kind of write themselves right
is, and in no particular orderis the election over? Is the election
over? Will this change Trump?Should it? You've already heard that he's
changed his speech. He's rewriting hisspeech for the convention in a way intended
to be more unifying in this momentof national trauma? Do you want to
(04:53):
see this change him in any way? Did God save Trump? I'm sure
that's something you've thought about since Saturday. President has alluded to it, you
know, did God save Trump?And then, obviously we have an unlimited
number of questions to address regarding howthere could have been that kind of monumental
failure, because you look at thatmoment, right and you talk about something
(05:15):
else that can't be faked. Youhad that group of Secret Service agents who
without time to think, and thenwith time to think, they made the
decision. They were giving up theirlives for Donald Trump when you could coon
him like that, when he's underfire. You're making that decision, and
they deserve the utmost admiration. Youobviously had unimaginable breakdowns, you know,
(05:40):
in protocol and process, and thosewords may sound very clinical and fancy,
but what they mean is that anentire nation can die through a breakdown in
protocol and process. Depending upon wherethat occurs, and certainly in this case
a former president and to be presidentagain, you know, could die from
that, came within it. Ithink truly a miracle of dying from that.
(06:03):
And I know that that gets usto the issue of does God intervene
in human events? Clearly God doesthere, there's no doubt about that.
And we are simply not capable.I mean, think about it. Wasn't
that long ago we couldn't even imaginean automobile. Yeah, we're given this
gift of life, but we're notcapable of fully understanding the mind of God.
(06:24):
We're not capable of understanding why Godchooses to intervene here or not intervene
there. It doesn't mean he meantthat tremendous American hero, the firefighter who
died to die, of course not. God never intends evil. God makes
good rise from evil. We knowthat, we see that. But God
(06:44):
does intervene. And did God intervenehere to save Donald Trump? I've got
my own views on that. Wouldcertainly love yours eight five to five for
zero five eight two five five thenumber text d an five seven seven three
nine, And then obviously questions aboutwho should conduct the investigation, all of
that, all of that's worthy,all of that needs to be discussed,
(07:05):
but I want to open it upto you now, and then we will
of course talk about JD. Vance, who I think will prove to be
an absolutely brilliant inspired pick. Wasn'tmy first choice. He's not the easy
pick. I think, you know, a Marco Rubio or Glenn Youngkin would
have been a tremendous pick, wouldhave been a smart pick, would have
(07:26):
done a lot of good things forTrump. I think over time, the
pick of JD Vance will emerge asan absolutely brilliant inspired pick. And I
say it for this reason because thefuture of the Republican Party not just the
winning at the ballot box, butthe reason to exist. Future of the
Republican Party lies in being the servantof working people, and it lies in
(07:51):
the support of working people. Andyou cannot be what you need to be
for America as a political party unlessyou have of working people at your core,
and which means what it just means, fair opportunity, a fair opportunity
for working people and their families.You know, to succeed in this country,
(08:13):
to succeed on every level. Firstto be born alive. Second,
to have the fair shot at topeducation, you know, and then all
of these different opportunities in life wherethey are not disadvantaged because of their status
as a working person, whereas clearlythe modern Democratic Party has turned against working
people. So both for political successbut also for the good of this nation,
(08:39):
the GOP must be the party ofworking people. And jd. Vance
is an absolutely brilliant pick on thatscore. And then beyond that, once
you get into the political calculation.Yeah, if you pick Glen Youngkin,
I'd be sitting here and saying thatis such a smart pick. You pick
up Virginia. This thing's over.It's probably over anyway, but wow,
and you could see Glenn Youngkin aspresident Marc Ruby all the reason we talked
(09:00):
about before. But nobody out theredoes for you, I think what jd.
Vance does, and particularly as peopleget to know him better. And
then the Upper Midwest, right,because if you want to come down to
the math and the math of beingsure you win this thing, Hey,
you get Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, it's probably even more of a locke
(09:22):
you get two of those, youknow, than it's in early evening.
And I think jd Vance is goingto have that spillover appeal, not just
because he's from a neighboring state,but because he's from life. He's from
a type of life in his earlylife, especially you know, where he
understands he can relate. People knowthat he can relate because it goes back
(09:46):
to the Oakliche right. We've allsaid it as coaches and everything else.
People don't care what you know untilthey know that you care. And GOP
has always needed candidates who have alife story that can open people's hearts and
minds and for working people, that'sjd Vance. So lots to talk about
today. Eight five to five forzero five A two five five The number
(10:07):
text d an five seven seven threenine is the election over? Did God
save Donald Trump? Will start there, but much more on the Dan Capla
Show, and now back to theDankapless Show podcast. Donald Trump doajah bullet,
but he didn't thought the only oneAmerica dodge bullet last night, America
(10:28):
dodge bullet. Because if that thinghad been a quarter inch over, you
would have had an assassination. Andthen I don't know how his country comes
back from that because half the countrywould have felt that the other half of
the country took up their leader.And if only a small percentage of those
people felt, that means we're ina war. You have millions of people.
(10:48):
Van Jones has no clue. Theleft has no clue about Trump's supporters,
and that's good. I hope theydon't get a clue until the morning
after election and then they can wakeup, just like in sixteen at the
morning after the election and New YorkTimes editor, I believe it was said,
you know, we just don't understandpeople's faith and how it affects their
voting. No, that's not whatwe do. That's not what Trump's supporters
(11:11):
do. We don't react with violence. You didn't see riots after this,
And I don't even want to letmy mind go to you know, that
bullet killed President Trump. But no, it would not have caused any kind
of mass violent response. It wouldhave caused a massive turnout at the polls,
just as the amazing way, thatcourageous way that President Trump handled this
(11:37):
is going to cause a level ofturnout for him among you want to call
it quote base, I call itpeople who are probably going to vote him
anyway. But now we'll walk overhot coals to vote for him. It's
going to cause a massive turnout amongthose already inclined to support Trump. And
then, for the reasons I discussedat the top of the show, I
believe many others as well. Eightfive five for zero five two five five
(12:00):
the number. But America did dodgible, which comes back to the issue of
did God intervene to save Trump?Obviously, none of us can know the
answer to that question. While we'reon this earth. We can have our
own beliefs. My own personal beliefis that, yes, it's likely.
I personally believe that God, whetherdirectly through a guardian angel, that God
(12:22):
did did intervene in this case.I don't know that for sure, it's
what I personally believe. And youlook at clearly the founders believed in divine
intervention. They literally bet their livesand to read the last line of the
Declaration of Independence, which the lefthaste hates to do, right as we
go to the phone lines, withreliance on divine providence, we pledge to
(12:43):
you to each other, our lives, our fortunes are sacred honor. Yeah,
they believed in divine president, whichis the only reason their belief in
divine providence, that we even havea nation right now, there's a history
of that in America. Can anybodylook at American history and doubt that there
is divine providence And it wasn't divineprovidence because God said, oh yeah,
(13:05):
hey, I like the way yourgreat lakes kind of make that pattern.
It's divine providence because we're the hopeof the world, and in many cases
we have fulfilled that. In manycases we have fixed our major failures,
not all of them yet, rightquite obviously, starting with abortion. But
I don't think there's any question thatthis nation exists because of divine providence,
(13:26):
continues to exist because of divine providence, thrives because of divine providence, and
that our future depends on divine providence. But we got to do our part
two, which starts with Mike andArveta No pressure. You're on the Dan
Kaplos Show. How you doing,Mike, how you doing? To comment
here, I'm hearing from the conventionalready, yes, uh yeah, but
(13:50):
the publicans are already bitching about Trump'spicks. Don't sit together like him,
perhaps do Yeah, that's always beenthat way, And here they go again.
Anything in particular, I can't Ibuddy, in particular, I don't
(14:11):
heard whereas I hear. I hearda bunch of bitch and I'm watched.
Don't get her whatever. There arevery crying about trumpstick. I don't care
who truck's got a bitch. I'llgive this Trump they stick together. Yeah,
I appreciate the call. Let's say, of course, were youman right
(14:33):
that there are going to be somefolks who are disappointed, because, let's
face it, if he had announceda young Kin, if he had announced
the Rubio, an awful lot ofpeople would be very happy because both would
be great picks and saying this raceis over for this reason or that reason.
J. D. Vance is muchmore of an out of the box
pick. But listen that the reasonwe still have our democracy in many important
(14:54):
ways is because Trump wasn't out ofthe box guy in sixteen who won and
out of the box. So Idon't think any of us can be surprised.
It's an outside the box pick,but I think we'll prove to be
brilliant for the reasons we discussed earlier. Let's go back to Denver Color.
I don't talk to Mike. You'reon the Dan Kaplis. She'll welcome.
Mister Caplis, thank you so muchfor taking my call. Can you hear
(15:16):
me? Okay, yeah, youjust aged me ten years but I'm good,
absolutely well, I'm actually twenty eightyears old. Wow, it's a
first time caller. Great to bewith you. A little bit nervous,
but I wanted to talk about thisarticle from Jonathan Turley. Really interesting here.
The attempted assassination of Trump is notnearly as surprising as this should be.
(15:37):
He said. For months, peoplehave heard politicians in the press called
Trump Hitler and the GOP a Nazimovement, some comparing stopping Trump to stopping
Hitler. Representative Dan Goldman declared Trumpis not only unstaked, but that he
needs He is destructive to our democracyand needs to be eliminated. He later
apologized. And you know, otherssaid Trump will destroy the world. The
(16:03):
media has been quick to you know, denounce reckless rhetorics from the right,
while Margie ignoring the same language unthe lets. And so that's the first
point. The second point, youknow, Democrats right now, I feel,
in a way have given up becauseall the people that we're gonna run
against Trump are basically saying, now, there's no way we can beat Trump
(16:26):
until twenty twenty eight, so let'sjust let Biden lose to Trump and then
we'll position ourselves to run in twentytwenty eight. But I don't get that
because all of these Democrats have beensaying, this is the most consequential election
of our lifetime, and now they'rejust giving up. I feel so your
thoughts, thank you, and beautifullyput Mike, I hope you call off.
And first of all, what theseDemocrats care about most is not the
(16:48):
nation, it's themselves and their ownpolitical advancement. And they know right now
that that whoever their nominee is islikely to lose to Donald Trump, and
they don't want that to be them. They're hoping this gets come out of
the picture, right because she'll godown with Biden. So I think that's
the calculation among DEM's right now.Now, obviously things can change, right,
we've just experienced that, but that'sthe trend line. We're on.
(17:11):
Jonathan's fine peace, and we hopeto have Jonathan on the show coming up
here soon, not today, butsoon. Uh yeah, there's no question
about that. I mean, youhad these Democrats out there saying things.
I'm not claiming that the things theysaid caused this shooter to do what he
did. But you had Democrats outthere saying things that they knew, that
(17:32):
they knew might have the effect.It was foreseeable. Is the legal term
foreseeable to them, that some nutjob might take that as a green lighting
or called action. Listen to ChuckSchumer, Mike, I've played this two
hundred times on this show. Iwant to tell you, gor Zutz.
I want to tell you Kavanaugh,you have released the long wind, and
(17:52):
you will pay the pride. Youwon't know what hits you. Yeah,
you won't know what hit you ifyou go forward with these awful decisions.
Yeah, direct threat of violence againstname justices if they don't rule on cases
the way Schumer in the left wants. So. The Democrats have known Joe
Biden coming out and saying it's timeto put a bullseye on Trump. I'm
(18:17):
not saying that cause the shooting ofDonald Trump. But when people on the
left say things like that, they'resmart people. They know it might green
light somebody who's onhinged to Michael,tremendous call call again. Soon you're on
the dankpla ship. You're listening tothe Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Guardian Angels
are Real? Did God save Trump? Obviously none of us can know for
(18:40):
sure, but anxious to get youropinion, I personally believe yes. I
personally believe this was likely a caseI can't know for sure of divine intervention,
and you can see where it itvery well may have saved a great
nation. I leaned toward your wayof thinking, Dan, You and I
have gone on this road many timesover the years that we've worked together about
the metaphysical, about angels, aboutthe existence of God, and I'm all
(19:03):
on board with that. But Ido have one question that I think would
be on the minds of a lotof people out there who are either agnostic
or more skeptical, and that is, why would God save Donald Trump but
let the girl dad in the frontrow die? Yeah? Well, first
of all, we can't possibly knowthe full mind of God, right,
I mean truly, it wasn't thatlong ago. We couldn't even envision an
(19:27):
automobile, so we obviously have limitedcapabilities, right. But there are certain
things that we can know, andwe can know those in lots of different
ways. But one thing we canknow is God gives us free will.
Right, God gives us free willso we can love him freely. But
God gives us free will, whichmeans we're free to do bad things,
(19:48):
and other people are free to dobad things, and those bad things may
end up hurting good people, andthat happens throughout history, leading to that
profound, everlasting question of you know, why does God let bad things happen
to good people? And it comesback to this idea of you know,
that's the price of all of thegreatness that comes from giving us the dignity
(20:12):
of free will, and then it'son us. Then it's on us to
just step up with everything we've beengiven and to protect the innocent and to
do everything we can to stop evil. So you know, we got to
do our part in this too.So I don't think for a second it's
a matter of First of all,God did not cause that evil to occur
(20:33):
against that great man who died atthe rally, saving his family. But
why would God step in in certaincases, which is obviously a fair question.
We're not capable, we're not fullycapable of understanding this. But what
we can see is there's a patternhere, right, and it goes back
Ryan to what I open the showwith, and then you can tell me
(20:55):
if you disagree. But we cansee a pattern here of God intervening to
create and then save the United States. That's my belief. More importantly,
it was the founder's belief, orwe wouldn't have a country because they wouldn't
have tried to make one. Theywouldn't have risked getting hung over it.
But they put it right there inthe last line of the Declaration of Independence.
(21:15):
Why they were willing to take thisgreat leap of faith when the odds
were against them. Can you imaginewhat the odds would have been in Vegas,
Ryan against the Founders. I gotthousand to one, one hundred to
one. What do you think wasthe bigger upset the American Revolution against the
British Army and Navy, or theMiracle on Ice the United States hockey team
(21:36):
against the Soviets. I take theAmerican Revolution. I think so too.
Yeah, But the point is theywrote it down. We don't have to
guess. The only reason they werewilling to take that thousand to one long
shot was their belief in God thathe would intervene divine providence. Now you
think these guys and gels were somekind of dummies who just somebody thought,
hey, I got this idea divineprovidence. No, they had lived it,
(21:57):
they had seen it. They hadI've seen it without throughout history.
So we look at the pattern ofthis nation, which is part of the
reason my own personal conclusion is that, yes, that I think God saved
Trump on Saturday, and is becauseyou look at the pattern of things God
has done to save America, tocreate America, and then save America,
(22:19):
and I believe this was part ofa pattern. Does it mean Trump is
perfect or angelic or anything like that. No, But you look at all
of biblical history and human history,and God always works. They're broken,
people were all broken, right,It's just a matter of degree. But
Donald Trump doesn't have to be someperfect specimen for God to work through him.
But when you look at people whohave played a very important moral role
(22:41):
in the country, you know,Donald Trump is one of the more important
people in American history. Because thoughon the personal side, I'm not suggesting
he's been a perfect beacon of personalmorality, but as President of the United
States, his policies and what hewas able to do on a mass scale
was was extraordinarily moral, extraordinarily moralin protecting innocent human life, in opposing
(23:07):
true evil on earth like the Iranianregime, in protecting religious liberty. So
Donald Trump has been a very powerfulforce for moral good on the public stage.
So you know, I'm no theologian, but I could certainly certainly see
you know, God stepping in andintervening there. And yeah, so that's
(23:29):
my personal belief. Eight five fiveor zero five eight two five five the
number text da N five seven seventhree nine. We'll get back to the
phone lines, Ryan, Where doyou come down on that? On which
part of it? On divine interventionhere, I completely believe in it,
and I think it's real. Andyou made a good point about explaining that
we don't know the why. Youknow, there's so much expansive, limitless,
(23:52):
infinite nature to the universe itself.But that's what I struggle with as
a Christian, is like why wouldGod save Donald Trump and not this wonderful
father who was just there with hisfamily, was innocent. I do struggle
with that part of it. Well, but I think another thing, and
again, I'm no theologian, justa guy trying to figure it out.
But I think another thing to factorin is, yeah, there's unimaginable sadness
(24:15):
over the loss of this great man, the firefighter who died and I can't
even imagine on the part of hisfamily. But wait a second, he's
in heaven, right, And that'sone of the things, just as a
guy I've thought a lot about overthe years, is, Yeah, we
see these terrible things happen, andthey're terrible because people are taken from the
(24:37):
loved ones and it's wrong that takesthem and everything else, but they're going
to be in heaven and that's forever, and that's unimaginably great. And I
have no doubt that that gentleman isin heaven, and so that's something I
factor in as well. But ifyou're talking about God intervening to once again
(25:00):
help the United States of America fulfillits mission, as I believe, as
the founders did, that God hada mission for this nation, and this
nation has fulfilled it in a waythat no other nation in the history of
the world has. We're still flawedand we have a long way to go,
but my God, literally, Imean, if it had not been
for the United States of America bynineteen forty five at the latest, the
(25:23):
entire world would been plunged into unimaginabledarkness, ruled by literally Satan himself in
the form of Hitler, Dan andCentennial. You're on the Dan kaplis shall
welcome, Hey, Dan, thanksfor having me. Sure so when we
pass away, when we move on, nobody survives this planet. We all
(25:47):
have a time to go. Andit's such a God decide when he makes
that call and calls us home.So in his great plan, he may
call somebody home early because of thegreater plan of saving something else. And
if you look at Donald Trump,but can you imagine what would have happened
had he got murdered, you know, fastened and dead today? Can you
(26:10):
imagine that chaos and we would havein this country with the people knowing that
at least half the people in thiscountry would think our opposition had our candidate
murdered. Yeah, so you know, it's definitely it is definitely God intervention.
And people die and they're they're calledhome at many times inconvenient times as
(26:33):
we see them as pure you know, just simple mortals. But that if
you die with honor and you diedoing the right thing. Then you die,
you die in a good way.Dan appreciate the call as I sit
here again, just a guy thinkingabout Okay, my own belief has got
dinner intervene Hearin, Why did Godintervene it to me? It? It
(26:56):
goes beyond what Dan describes, whichis true. If God forbid Trump had
been been killed, then you justthink about the angst and the misery in
the nation. But I think itgoes beyond that. I think Trump has
proven that he has the unique capabilitiesto stand up to the worst form of
evil around the world and to deterthem and defeat them if necessary. So
(27:21):
that's my guess, and that's allit can be as a guess as to
if I'm right and God save Trumpfor what purpose? Because you look at
the evil around the world right now, and it is on an almost unimaginable
scale. And you look at howevil is feasting during Joe Biden's years.
But you look at Putin now Satanhimself. You look at Iran and what
they did with in Israel. That'slike you open the gates of hell and
(27:44):
unleashed it on our great ally Israel. You look at gi the communist Party
of China. You look at KimJong Un. I mean, we need
the kind of person we saw onthat stage after he was shot and he
got back up and he waved hisfist and blood streaming across his face,
he said, fight, fight,fight, That's who we need on that
(28:07):
wall. So that's my own personalbelief as to his destiny. Now,
can we screw it up? Yes? I think that's been clear throughout human
history, is that God gives usevery opportunity, but we can still get
it right or we can get itwrong. So I think it's still up
to the people to get it rightand elect the guy. But I think
that's his ultimate destiny and he's alreadyfulfilled that during the one term he had.
(28:30):
We just need it again. You'reon the Dan Kapla Show. And
now back to the Dan Kaplas Showpodcast. I protest against do you?
Massive protests organized protest by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice
and now indictment. I mean thenext stage is violence, is are you
worried that they're going to try andkill you? Why wouldn't they try and
(28:52):
kill you? Honestly, they're savageanimals. They are people that are sick,
really sick. You have great peoplein the Democrat Party. You have
great people that are Democrats. Mostof the people in our country are fantastic,
and I'm representing everybody. I'm notjust Republican. But I've seen what
they do. I've seen the lengthsthat they go to. But these people
are sick people. These are peoplethat I think they hate our country.
(29:18):
You want to know the truth yourvice presidential pick? Are you close?
I'm very close. I mean I'mvery close. Does it matter if it's
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, orsomeone else on the Democratic ticket in terms
of it's a woman, it's aperson of color, any of those types
of issues. Does it matter whoyou choose as you're vacate. You have
(29:40):
people that are very smart people.They say it does, I say it
doesn't. They say, oh,it depends on what's going to happen who
you're going to pick. I don'tthink so you're going to pick a great
person. You're going to run theother thing I've noticed if you look.
I don't want to belittle it becauseit's a very important position, especially if
something bad should happen. But that'sthe most important if something bad should happened.
(30:03):
Yeah, that was the morning ofthe shoot. Yeah, and get
back to that in a second.Want to get to our gym lines and
yeah, jd vance. We talkedabout it earlier. We will again,
Emily and Littleton. You're on thedan Kaplis show. Welcome. I I
called for two reasons. The firstis that I do believe in divine intervention.
(30:26):
I survived a very serious emergency sometime ago. I'm one of only
two percent of people who do survivewhat happened, and it was because of
a message that came to me outof nowhere. Except I believe the divine
(30:48):
uh intervention played a big part.Emily was like, was it like a
message to go do this or thator see a doctor or doc? What
kind of message? No, itwas telling me I had had a previous
incident, a similar one, andthis was without any symptoms, and I
(31:11):
normally would have simply stayed home exceptfor the message that told me it might
be a repeat. Well, Emily, sure, appreciate your call. And
I do personally believe in divine intervention. It happens in lots of different ways.
I absolutely one believe guardian angels areas real as Ryan Schuling sitting right
there. Maybe you are mine?Ryan, Is that a possibility. I'm
(31:33):
looking out for you. Yeah,thank you. Think I tell you I'm
like clearing something growing out of yourback. It's a wonderful life. You
know. I'm going to jump inthe water to make sure you don't jump
in first, and that's what Idid. Guardian, angels Elson, and
Parker. You're on the Dan Kapla, so'll welcome. Hi Dan. I
just wanted to say, you know, when somebody said why say, why
say Donald Trump and not say theguy that was killed the fireman. You
(31:59):
know, probably because prayer is sopowerful and people have been praying for Donald
Trump. I know I do everySunday in service. I do every time
I pray, I pray for him. I pray for protection for him.
And you know, at the endof the day, you know, you
think, you know our symbol isan eagle. You need a right wing
(32:22):
and you need a left wing andwe need to fly together. Wow,
Alsa that we need to keep itthat way, beautifully put, beautifully put.
Thank you for that, Elsa,Well said Dan, says a Texter
to d A N five seven,seven through nine and I'm hoping the good
that will come out of the evilis that Trump will become kind and humble
after realizing life is too short toalways be so cruel to God's people.
(32:43):
Listen, Trump has been one ofthe greatest forces for moral good and protectors
of innocent people in the history ofthe presidency. At times is he cruel,
Yes, But in terms of overallforce for good, I mean very
very few in modern times hit fivefor zero five eight two five five.
But Ryan, let me ask youthis. The President himself has said that
(33:07):
he is now in view of survivingthe assassination attempt, changing his speech,
tearing up the old speech love It, which has Biden focused and now he's
going to focus on unity. Doyou like that change? Do you want
to see him changing other ways?I think he has. Dan if you
read the transcripts of the interview thathe conducted on Trump Force one with just
a handful of reporters, this changedhim. I mean, you can imagine
(33:30):
how a near death experience like thiswould change a person. But he mentioned
and invoked God several times. Hesaid I shouldn't be here. I'm supposed
to be dead. I think hefeels like he's been given an opportunity,
a new lease on life. Ithink you're going to watch a soaring,
inspirational speech on Thursday Night, thelikes of which you've never seen from Donald
(33:51):
Trump, and I think it willsurprise a lot of people in the best
possible way. I think you're goingto see Donald Trump as close to Ronald
Reagan on Thursday night as we've everseen him. Should be a wonderful thing,
and I think it would be absolutelyperfect and very wise. The other
thing is, I think we're goingto see a lot more of Donald Trump
than we normally see a president's steeringconventions. Who are the presidential nominee for
good reason, right, and evenif it had not been for the horror
(34:15):
of Saturday and the magnificent way hehandled it, but given that, yeah,
he's smart to get out there tonightand get out there every night.
I also wonder if we're going tosee some other surprises in the convention,
and I hope that we do,because what I'd love to see because one
of the lines of attack on Trumpis that, hey, wait a second,
who's he going to get to workfor him? Look at all these
(34:35):
people used to work for him.Who oppose him or quit or whatever.
So what I'd love to see himdo. I'd love to see him,
maybe one or two each day,maybe three or four, announce who his
cabinet choices will be. Now theywill have had to agree to it,
right, I'd love to see himannounce, Hey, I win. Marco
Rubio is going to be my secretaryof State. You know, Glenn Youngkin
(34:58):
is going to serve in this position. Secretary of Defense is going to be
X And I think that could beextraordinarily powerful when we come back. Lots
of questions. Is the election over? Did God save Trump? And much more
This is Dan Kaplis and welcome totoday's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis
Show. Please be sure to giveus a five star rating if you'd be
so kind, and to subscribe,download and listen to the show every single
day on your favorite podcast platform.Well, it does not set any more
American than what you saw from PresidentTrump on Saturday. And I know,
(00:21):
listen, I know JD Vance wasjust announced in all this and that,
and that's all important, and wewill get to that, but we need
to talk about what happened on Saturday. Because life is so fast, it
all becomes a blur, right,But some moments rise above all others and
they stick, they cut through thenoise, and that's what happens Saturday.
And we all wish it had neverhappened, right, but it happened,
(00:44):
and it happened, and America willnot forget and it will have an impact
that will not go away, includingon this election. So let's start the
show by focusing on that. We'llget to the Jdvance stuff and everything else
that's happening. We're monitoring that.I'm sure you are too. Well.
What happens Saturday is unlike anything you'veseen in your lifetime. It's unlike anything
I've seen in my lifetime. It'sone of those things that affects you immediately
(01:11):
in a very deep way. It'sburned into your brain. It's not even
conscious, it's before you even processit. And then of course we all
start to think about it. Butwhat matters most, what matters most for
every American, what matters most forthis election, is what was burned into
people's brain before they even had achance to think about it, because that
(01:32):
is a core truth. That isa core truth. And I think the
vast majority of people, I thinkGod created us wired to seek the truth.
I think the vast majority of peoplewant the truth. Things get distorted
along the way for some. Butthe truth could not be hidden that day.
And the truth that we saw ina moment that could not be rehearsed,
(01:53):
it could not be prepared for,it could not be faked, is
that Donald Trump is at his corea person of incredible strength and character and
courage and intelligence. And that camethrough in that moment. And so,
you know, lots of people havelots of disagreement with this policy or this
(02:14):
tweet, or this personality or thisor that but in that moment, it
was so raw, that's the keyword. Raw. That moment was so raw.
It revealed him. It revealed himin a way that I think will
open a lot of hearts and mindsto him. Now, a lot of
those people would never admit it,right, I think a lot of those
people are going to go ahead andthey're going to vote for Trump and they
(02:36):
will never ever admit it upon painof torture and death, but they're going
to do it because what they sawin that moment said, yeah, I
want that guy on the wall.I may not like him for this,
or I may not like him forthat, but I want that guy on
the wall. It's a dangerous worldwith dangerous people trying to do terrible things
to us. And even if hisopponent wasn't this feeble, old collapsing man,
(03:00):
they would want Donald Trump on thewall because how many people could do
in that moment what he did,and above all his Americans. People talk
about the lumpus and a group suburbanmoms, suburban's dad, blah blah blah.
Listen, there's a common denominator.And again, I believe we're created
to want to protect, to wantto protect good want to protect our family,
(03:22):
our loved ones, third us.And when it comes to protection in
a dangerous world, who else wouldyou want on that wall besides that guy
you saw Saturday on that stage.So it was that moment of realness of
rawness that I think has cut throughall the noise and we'll have a lasting
impact, not just through this election, because it's very, very important to
(03:45):
win the election, right because ifyou don't win the election, then you're
the nation suck. But when theelection isn't enough, it's not about ability
to govern and ability to get thesupport of Americans that do to do the
things that need to be done,because there's some really tough things coming right,
and to get the support of Americansto lead in positive directions. So
(04:06):
the value of this horror on Saturdayand Trump's incredibly impressive response to it goes
way beyond him winning the presidency.It goes to his ability to lead this
nation afterward. Eight five five forzero five eight two five five the number
techs d an five seven seven thirtynine. Of course, anxious to get
(04:28):
your take on all of that,and the questions kind of write themselves right
is, and in no particular orderis the election over? Is the election
over? Will this change Trump?Should it? You've already heard that he's
changed his speech. He's rewriting hisspeech for the convention in a way intended
to be more unifying in this momentof national trauma? Do you want to
(04:53):
see this change him in any way? Did God save Trump? I'm sure
that's something you've thought about since Saturday. President has alluded to it, you
know, did God save Trump?And then, obviously we have an unlimited
number of questions to address regarding howthere could have been that kind of monumental
failure, because you look at thatmoment, right and you talk about something
(05:15):
else that can't be faked. Youhad that group of Secret Service agents who
without time to think, and thenwith time to think, they made the
decision. They were giving up theirlives for Donald Trump when you could coon
him like that, when he's underfire. You're making that decision, and
they deserve the utmost admiration. Youobviously had unimaginable breakdowns, you know,
(05:40):
in protocol and process, and thosewords may sound very clinical and fancy,
but what they mean is that anentire nation can die through a breakdown in
protocol and process. Depending upon wherethat occurs, and certainly in this case
a former president and to be presidentagain, you know, could die from
that, came within it. Ithink truly a miracle of dying from that.
(06:03):
And I know that that gets usto the issue of does God intervene
in human events? Clearly God doesthere, there's no doubt about that.
And we are simply not capable.I mean, think about it. Wasn't
that long ago we couldn't even imaginean automobile. Yeah, we're given this
gift of life, but we're notcapable of fully understanding the mind of God.
(06:24):
We're not capable of understanding why Godchooses to intervene here or not intervene
there. It doesn't mean he meantthat tremendous American hero, the firefighter who
died to die, of course not. God never intends evil. God makes
good rise from evil. We knowthat, we see that. But God
(06:44):
does intervene. And did God intervenehere to save Donald Trump? I've got
my own views on that. Wouldcertainly love yours eight five to five for
zero five eight two five five thenumber text d an five seven seven three
nine, And then obviously questions aboutwho should conduct the investigation, all of
that, all of that's worthy,all of that needs to be discussed,
(07:05):
but I want to open it upto you now, and then we will
of course talk about JD. Vance, who I think will prove to be
an absolutely brilliant inspired pick. Wasn'tmy first choice. He's not the easy
pick. I think, you know, a Marco Rubio or Glenn Youngkin would
have been a tremendous pick, wouldhave been a smart pick, would have
(07:26):
done a lot of good things forTrump. I think over time, the
pick of JD Vance will emerge asan absolutely brilliant inspired pick. And I
say it for this reason because thefuture of the Republican Party not just the
winning at the ballot box, butthe reason to exist. Future of the
Republican Party lies in being the servantof working people, and it lies in
(07:51):
the support of working people. Andyou cannot be what you need to be
for America as a political party unlessyou have of working people at your core,
and which means what it just means, fair opportunity, a fair opportunity
for working people and their families.You know, to succeed in this country,
(08:13):
to succeed on every level. Firstto be born alive. Second,
to have the fair shot at topeducation, you know, and then all
of these different opportunities in life wherethey are not disadvantaged because of their status
as a working person, whereas clearlythe modern Democratic Party has turned against working
people. So both for political successbut also for the good of this nation,
(08:39):
the GOP must be the party ofworking people. And jd. Vance
is an absolutely brilliant pick on thatscore. And then beyond that, once
you get into the political calculation.Yeah, if you pick Glen Youngkin,
I'd be sitting here and saying thatis such a smart pick. You pick
up Virginia. This thing's over.It's probably over anyway, but wow,
and you could see Glenn Youngkin aspresident Marc Ruby all the reason we talked
(09:00):
about before. But nobody out theredoes for you, I think what jd.
Vance does, and particularly as peopleget to know him better. And
then the Upper Midwest, right,because if you want to come down to
the math and the math of beingsure you win this thing, Hey,
you get Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, it's probably even more of a locke
(09:22):
you get two of those, youknow, than it's in early evening.
And I think jd Vance is goingto have that spillover appeal, not just
because he's from a neighboring state,but because he's from life. He's from
a type of life in his earlylife, especially you know, where he
understands he can relate. People knowthat he can relate because it goes back
(09:46):
to the Oakliche right. We've allsaid it as coaches and everything else.
People don't care what you know untilthey know that you care. And GOP
has always needed candidates who have alife story that can open people's hearts and
minds and for working people, that'sjd Vance. So lots to talk about
today. Eight five to five forzero five A two five five The number
(10:07):
text d an five seven seven threenine is the election over? Did God
save Donald Trump? Will start there, but much more on the Dan Capla
Show, and now back to theDankapless Show podcast. Donald Trump doajah bullet,
but he didn't thought the only oneAmerica dodge bullet last night, America
(10:28):
dodge bullet. Because if that thinghad been a quarter inch over, you
would have had an assassination. Andthen I don't know how his country comes
back from that because half the countrywould have felt that the other half of
the country took up their leader.And if only a small percentage of those
people felt, that means we're ina war. You have millions of people.
(10:48):
Van Jones has no clue. Theleft has no clue about Trump's supporters,
and that's good. I hope theydon't get a clue until the morning
after election and then they can wakeup, just like in sixteen at the
morning after the election and New YorkTimes editor, I believe it was said,
you know, we just don't understandpeople's faith and how it affects their
voting. No, that's not whatwe do. That's not what Trump's supporters
(11:11):
do. We don't react with violence. You didn't see riots after this,
And I don't even want to letmy mind go to you know, that
bullet killed President Trump. But no, it would not have caused any kind
of mass violent response. It wouldhave caused a massive turnout at the polls,
just as the amazing way, thatcourageous way that President Trump handled this
(11:37):
is going to cause a level ofturnout for him among you want to call
it quote base, I call itpeople who are probably going to vote him
anyway. But now we'll walk overhot coals to vote for him. It's
going to cause a massive turnout amongthose already inclined to support Trump. And
then, for the reasons I discussedat the top of the show, I
believe many others as well. Eightfive five for zero five two five five
(12:00):
the number. But America did dodgible, which comes back to the issue of
did God intervene to save Trump?Obviously, none of us can know the
answer to that question. While we'reon this earth. We can have our
own beliefs. My own personal beliefis that, yes, it's likely.
I personally believe that God, whetherdirectly through a guardian angel, that God
(12:22):
did did intervene in this case.I don't know that for sure, it's
what I personally believe. And youlook at clearly the founders believed in divine
intervention. They literally bet their livesand to read the last line of the
Declaration of Independence, which the lefthaste hates to do, right as we
go to the phone lines, withreliance on divine providence, we pledge to
(12:43):
you to each other, our lives, our fortunes are sacred honor. Yeah,
they believed in divine president, whichis the only reason their belief in
divine providence, that we even havea nation right now, there's a history
of that in America. Can anybodylook at American history and doubt that there
is divine providence And it wasn't divineprovidence because God said, oh yeah,
(13:05):
hey, I like the way yourgreat lakes kind of make that pattern.
It's divine providence because we're the hopeof the world, and in many cases
we have fulfilled that. In manycases we have fixed our major failures,
not all of them yet, rightquite obviously, starting with abortion. But
I don't think there's any question thatthis nation exists because of divine providence,
(13:26):
continues to exist because of divine providence, thrives because of divine providence, and
that our future depends on divine providence. But we got to do our part
two, which starts with Mike andArveta No pressure. You're on the Dan
Kaplos Show. How you doing,Mike, how you doing? To comment
here, I'm hearing from the conventionalready, yes, uh yeah, but
(13:50):
the publicans are already bitching about Trump'spicks. Don't sit together like him,
perhaps do Yeah, that's always beenthat way, And here they go again.
Anything in particular, I can't Ibuddy, in particular, I don't
(14:11):
heard whereas I hear. I hearda bunch of bitch and I'm watched.
Don't get her whatever. There arevery crying about trumpstick. I don't care
who truck's got a bitch. I'llgive this Trump they stick together. Yeah,
I appreciate the call. Let's say, of course, were youman right
(14:33):
that there are going to be somefolks who are disappointed, because, let's
face it, if he had announceda young Kin, if he had announced
the Rubio, an awful lot ofpeople would be very happy because both would
be great picks and saying this raceis over for this reason or that reason.
J. D. Vance is muchmore of an out of the box
pick. But listen that the reasonwe still have our democracy in many important
(14:54):
ways is because Trump wasn't out ofthe box guy in sixteen who won and
out of the box. So Idon't think any of us can be surprised.
It's an outside the box pick,but I think we'll prove to be
brilliant for the reasons we discussed earlier. Let's go back to Denver Color.
I don't talk to Mike. You'reon the Dan Kaplis. She'll welcome.
Mister Caplis, thank you so muchfor taking my call. Can you hear
(15:16):
me? Okay, yeah, youjust aged me ten years but I'm good,
absolutely well, I'm actually twenty eightyears old. Wow, it's a
first time caller. Great to bewith you. A little bit nervous,
but I wanted to talk about thisarticle from Jonathan Turley. Really interesting here.
The attempted assassination of Trump is notnearly as surprising as this should be.
(15:37):
He said. For months, peoplehave heard politicians in the press called
Trump Hitler and the GOP a Nazimovement, some comparing stopping Trump to stopping
Hitler. Representative Dan Goldman declared Trumpis not only unstaked, but that he
needs He is destructive to our democracyand needs to be eliminated. He later
apologized. And you know, otherssaid Trump will destroy the world. The
(16:03):
media has been quick to you know, denounce reckless rhetorics from the right,
while Margie ignoring the same language unthe lets. And so that's the first
point. The second point, youknow, Democrats right now, I feel,
in a way have given up becauseall the people that we're gonna run
against Trump are basically saying, now, there's no way we can beat Trump
(16:26):
until twenty twenty eight, so let'sjust let Biden lose to Trump and then
we'll position ourselves to run in twentytwenty eight. But I don't get that
because all of these Democrats have beensaying, this is the most consequential election
of our lifetime, and now they'rejust giving up. I feel so your
thoughts, thank you, and beautifullyput Mike, I hope you call off.
And first of all, what theseDemocrats care about most is not the
(16:48):
nation, it's themselves and their ownpolitical advancement. And they know right now
that that whoever their nominee is islikely to lose to Donald Trump, and
they don't want that to be them. They're hoping this gets come out of
the picture, right because she'll godown with Biden. So I think that's
the calculation among DEM's right now.Now, obviously things can change, right,
we've just experienced that, but that'sthe trend line. We're on.
(17:11):
Jonathan's fine peace, and we hopeto have Jonathan on the show coming up
here soon, not today, butsoon. Uh yeah, there's no question
about that. I mean, youhad these Democrats out there saying things.
I'm not claiming that the things theysaid caused this shooter to do what he
did. But you had Democrats outthere saying things that they knew, that
(17:32):
they knew might have the effect.It was foreseeable. Is the legal term
foreseeable to them, that some nutjob might take that as a green lighting
or called action. Listen to ChuckSchumer, Mike, I've played this two
hundred times on this show. Iwant to tell you, gor Zutz.
I want to tell you Kavanaugh,you have released the long wind, and
(17:52):
you will pay the pride. Youwon't know what hits you. Yeah,
you won't know what hit you ifyou go forward with these awful decisions.
Yeah, direct threat of violence againstname justices if they don't rule on cases
the way Schumer in the left wants. So. The Democrats have known Joe
Biden coming out and saying it's timeto put a bullseye on Trump. I'm
(18:17):
not saying that cause the shooting ofDonald Trump. But when people on the
left say things like that, they'resmart people. They know it might green
light somebody who's onhinged to Michael,tremendous call call again. Soon you're on
the dankpla ship. You're listening tothe Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Guardian Angels
are Real? Did God save Trump? Obviously none of us can know for
(18:40):
sure, but anxious to get youropinion, I personally believe yes. I
personally believe this was likely a caseI can't know for sure of divine intervention,
and you can see where it itvery well may have saved a great
nation. I leaned toward your wayof thinking, Dan, You and I
have gone on this road many timesover the years that we've worked together about
the metaphysical, about angels, aboutthe existence of God, and I'm all
(19:03):
on board with that. But Ido have one question that I think would
be on the minds of a lotof people out there who are either agnostic
or more skeptical, and that is, why would God save Donald Trump but
let the girl dad in the frontrow die? Yeah? Well, first
of all, we can't possibly knowthe full mind of God, right,
I mean truly, it wasn't thatlong ago. We couldn't even envision an
(19:27):
automobile, so we obviously have limitedcapabilities, right. But there are certain
things that we can know, andwe can know those in lots of different
ways. But one thing we canknow is God gives us free will.
Right, God gives us free willso we can love him freely. But
God gives us free will, whichmeans we're free to do bad things,
(19:48):
and other people are free to dobad things, and those bad things may
end up hurting good people, andthat happens throughout history, leading to that
profound, everlasting question of you know, why does God let bad things happen
to good people? And it comesback to this idea of you know,
that's the price of all of thegreatness that comes from giving us the dignity
(20:12):
of free will, and then it'son us. Then it's on us to
just step up with everything we've beengiven and to protect the innocent and to
do everything we can to stop evil. So you know, we got to
do our part in this too.So I don't think for a second it's
a matter of First of all,God did not cause that evil to occur
(20:33):
against that great man who died atthe rally, saving his family. But
why would God step in in certaincases, which is obviously a fair question.
We're not capable, we're not fullycapable of understanding this. But what
we can see is there's a patternhere, right, and it goes back
Ryan to what I open the showwith, and then you can tell me
(20:55):
if you disagree. But we cansee a pattern here of God intervening to
create and then save the United States. That's my belief. More importantly,
it was the founder's belief, orwe wouldn't have a country because they wouldn't
have tried to make one. Theywouldn't have risked getting hung over it.
But they put it right there inthe last line of the Declaration of Independence.
(21:15):
Why they were willing to take thisgreat leap of faith when the odds
were against them. Can you imaginewhat the odds would have been in Vegas,
Ryan against the Founders. I gotthousand to one, one hundred to
one. What do you think wasthe bigger upset the American Revolution against the
British Army and Navy, or theMiracle on Ice the United States hockey team
(21:36):
against the Soviets. I take theAmerican Revolution. I think so too.
Yeah, But the point is theywrote it down. We don't have to
guess. The only reason they werewilling to take that thousand to one long
shot was their belief in God thathe would intervene divine providence. Now you
think these guys and gels were somekind of dummies who just somebody thought,
hey, I got this idea divineprovidence. No, they had lived it,
(21:57):
they had seen it. They hadI've seen it without throughout history.
So we look at the pattern ofthis nation, which is part of the
reason my own personal conclusion is that, yes, that I think God saved
Trump on Saturday, and is becauseyou look at the pattern of things God
has done to save America, tocreate America, and then save America,
(22:19):
and I believe this was part ofa pattern. Does it mean Trump is
perfect or angelic or anything like that. No, But you look at all
of biblical history and human history,and God always works. They're broken,
people were all broken, right,It's just a matter of degree. But
Donald Trump doesn't have to be someperfect specimen for God to work through him.
But when you look at people whohave played a very important moral role
(22:41):
in the country, you know,Donald Trump is one of the more important
people in American history. Because thoughon the personal side, I'm not suggesting
he's been a perfect beacon of personalmorality, but as President of the United
States, his policies and what hewas able to do on a mass scale
was was extraordinarily moral, extraordinarily moralin protecting innocent human life, in opposing
(23:07):
true evil on earth like the Iranianregime, in protecting religious liberty. So
Donald Trump has been a very powerfulforce for moral good on the public stage.
So you know, I'm no theologian, but I could certainly certainly see
you know, God stepping in andintervening there. And yeah, so that's
(23:29):
my personal belief. Eight five fiveor zero five eight two five five the
number text da N five seven seventhree nine. We'll get back to the
phone lines, Ryan, Where doyou come down on that? On which
part of it? On divine interventionhere, I completely believe in it,
and I think it's real. Andyou made a good point about explaining that
we don't know the why. Youknow, there's so much expansive, limitless,
(23:52):
infinite nature to the universe itself.But that's what I struggle with as
a Christian, is like why wouldGod save Donald Trump and not this wonderful
father who was just there with hisfamily, was innocent. I do struggle
with that part of it. Well, but I think another thing, and
again, I'm no theologian, justa guy trying to figure it out.
But I think another thing to factorin is, yeah, there's unimaginable sadness
(24:15):
over the loss of this great man, the firefighter who died and I can't
even imagine on the part of hisfamily. But wait a second, he's
in heaven, right, And that'sone of the things, just as a
guy I've thought a lot about overthe years, is, Yeah, we
see these terrible things happen, andthey're terrible because people are taken from the
(24:37):
loved ones and it's wrong that takesthem and everything else, but they're going
to be in heaven and that's forever, and that's unimaginably great. And I
have no doubt that that gentleman isin heaven, and so that's something I
factor in as well. But ifyou're talking about God intervening to once again
(25:00):
help the United States of America fulfillits mission, as I believe, as
the founders did, that God hada mission for this nation, and this
nation has fulfilled it in a waythat no other nation in the history of
the world has. We're still flawedand we have a long way to go,
but my God, literally, Imean, if it had not been
for the United States of America bynineteen forty five at the latest, the
(25:23):
entire world would been plunged into unimaginabledarkness, ruled by literally Satan himself in
the form of Hitler, Dan andCentennial. You're on the Dan kaplis shall
welcome, Hey, Dan, thanksfor having me. Sure so when we
pass away, when we move on, nobody survives this planet. We all
(25:47):
have a time to go. Andit's such a God decide when he makes
that call and calls us home.So in his great plan, he may
call somebody home early because of thegreater plan of saving something else. And
if you look at Donald Trump,but can you imagine what would have happened
had he got murdered, you know, fastened and dead today? Can you
(26:10):
imagine that chaos and we would havein this country with the people knowing that
at least half the people in thiscountry would think our opposition had our candidate
murdered. Yeah, so you know, it's definitely it is definitely God intervention.
And people die and they're they're calledhome at many times inconvenient times as
(26:33):
we see them as pure you know, just simple mortals. But that if
you die with honor and you diedoing the right thing. Then you die,
you die in a good way.Dan appreciate the call as I sit
here again, just a guy thinkingabout Okay, my own belief has got
dinner intervene Hearin, Why did Godintervene it to me? It? It
(26:56):
goes beyond what Dan describes, whichis true. If God forbid Trump had
been been killed, then you justthink about the angst and the misery in
the nation. But I think itgoes beyond that. I think Trump has
proven that he has the unique capabilitiesto stand up to the worst form of
evil around the world and to deterthem and defeat them if necessary. So
(27:21):
that's my guess, and that's allit can be as a guess as to
if I'm right and God save Trumpfor what purpose? Because you look at
the evil around the world right now, and it is on an almost unimaginable
scale. And you look at howevil is feasting during Joe Biden's years.
But you look at Putin now Satanhimself. You look at Iran and what
they did with in Israel. That'slike you open the gates of hell and
(27:44):
unleashed it on our great ally Israel. You look at gi the communist Party
of China. You look at KimJong Un. I mean, we need
the kind of person we saw onthat stage after he was shot and he
got back up and he waved hisfist and blood streaming across his face,
he said, fight, fight,fight, That's who we need on that
(28:07):
wall. So that's my own personalbelief as to his destiny. Now,
can we screw it up? Yes? I think that's been clear throughout human
history, is that God gives usevery opportunity, but we can still get
it right or we can get itwrong. So I think it's still up
to the people to get it rightand elect the guy. But I think
that's his ultimate destiny and he's alreadyfulfilled that during the one term he had.
(28:30):
We just need it again. You'reon the Dan Kapla Show. And
now back to the Dan Kaplas Showpodcast. I protest against do you?
Massive protests organized protest by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice
and now indictment. I mean thenext stage is violence, is are you
worried that they're going to try andkill you? Why wouldn't they try and
(28:52):
kill you? Honestly, they're savageanimals. They are people that are sick,
really sick. You have great peoplein the Democrat Party. You have
great people that are Democrats. Mostof the people in our country are fantastic,
and I'm representing everybody. I'm notjust Republican. But I've seen what
they do. I've seen the lengthsthat they go to. But these people
are sick people. These are peoplethat I think they hate our country.
(29:18):
You want to know the truth yourvice presidential pick? Are you close?
I'm very close. I mean I'mvery close. Does it matter if it's
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, orsomeone else on the Democratic ticket in terms
of it's a woman, it's aperson of color, any of those types
of issues. Does it matter whoyou choose as you're vacate. You have
(29:40):
people that are very smart people.They say it does, I say it
doesn't. They say, oh,it depends on what's going to happen who
you're going to pick. I don'tthink so you're going to pick a great
person. You're going to run theother thing I've noticed if you look.
I don't want to belittle it becauseit's a very important position, especially if
something bad should happen. But that'sthe most important if something bad should happened.
(30:03):
Yeah, that was the morning ofthe shoot. Yeah, and get
back to that in a second.Want to get to our gym lines and
yeah, jd vance. We talkedabout it earlier. We will again,
Emily and Littleton. You're on thedan Kaplis show. Welcome. I I
called for two reasons. The firstis that I do believe in divine intervention.
(30:26):
I survived a very serious emergency sometime ago. I'm one of only
two percent of people who do survivewhat happened, and it was because of
a message that came to me outof nowhere. Except I believe the divine
(30:48):
uh intervention played a big part.Emily was like, was it like a
message to go do this or thator see a doctor or doc? What
kind of message? No, itwas telling me I had had a previous
incident, a similar one, andthis was without any symptoms, and I
(31:11):
normally would have simply stayed home exceptfor the message that told me it might
be a repeat. Well, Emily, sure, appreciate your call. And
I do personally believe in divine intervention. It happens in lots of different ways.
I absolutely one believe guardian angels areas real as Ryan Schuling sitting right
there. Maybe you are mine?Ryan, Is that a possibility. I'm
(31:33):
looking out for you. Yeah,thank you. Think I tell you I'm
like clearing something growing out of yourback. It's a wonderful life. You
know. I'm going to jump inthe water to make sure you don't jump
in first, and that's what Idid. Guardian, angels Elson, and
Parker. You're on the Dan Kapla, so'll welcome. Hi Dan. I
just wanted to say, you know, when somebody said why say, why
say Donald Trump and not say theguy that was killed the fireman. You
(31:59):
know, probably because prayer is sopowerful and people have been praying for Donald
Trump. I know I do everySunday in service. I do every time
I pray, I pray for him. I pray for protection for him.
And you know, at the endof the day, you know, you
think, you know our symbol isan eagle. You need a right wing
(32:22):
and you need a left wing andwe need to fly together. Wow,
Alsa that we need to keep itthat way, beautifully put, beautifully put.
Thank you for that, Elsa,Well said Dan, says a Texter
to d A N five seven,seven through nine and I'm hoping the good
that will come out of the evilis that Trump will become kind and humble
after realizing life is too short toalways be so cruel to God's people.
(32:43):
Listen, Trump has been one ofthe greatest forces for moral good and protectors
of innocent people in the history ofthe presidency. At times is he cruel,
Yes, But in terms of overallforce for good, I mean very
very few in modern times hit fivefor zero five eight two five five.
But Ryan, let me ask youthis. The President himself has said that
(33:07):
he is now in view of survivingthe assassination attempt, changing his speech,
tearing up the old speech love It, which has Biden focused and now he's
going to focus on unity. Doyou like that change? Do you want
to see him changing other ways?I think he has. Dan if you
read the transcripts of the interview thathe conducted on Trump Force one with just
a handful of reporters, this changedhim. I mean, you can imagine
(33:30):
how a near death experience like thiswould change a person. But he mentioned
and invoked God several times. Hesaid I shouldn't be here. I'm supposed
to be dead. I think hefeels like he's been given an opportunity,
a new lease on life. Ithink you're going to watch a soaring,
inspirational speech on Thursday Night, thelikes of which you've never seen from Donald
(33:51):
Trump, and I think it willsurprise a lot of people in the best
possible way. I think you're goingto see Donald Trump as close to Ronald
Reagan on Thursday night as we've everseen him. Should be a wonderful thing,
and I think it would be absolutelyperfect and very wise. The other
thing is, I think we're goingto see a lot more of Donald Trump
than we normally see a president's steeringconventions. Who are the presidential nominee for
good reason, right, and evenif it had not been for the horror
(34:15):
of Saturday and the magnificent way hehandled it, but given that, yeah,
he's smart to get out there tonightand get out there every night.
I also wonder if we're going tosee some other surprises in the convention,
and I hope that we do,because what I'd love to see because one
of the lines of attack on Trumpis that, hey, wait a second,
who's he going to get to workfor him? Look at all these
(34:35):
people used to work for him.Who oppose him or quit or whatever.
So what I'd love to see himdo. I'd love to see him,
maybe one or two each day,maybe three or four, announce who his
cabinet choices will be. Now theywill have had to agree to it,
right, I'd love to see himannounce, Hey, I win. Marco
Rubio is going to be my secretaryof State. You know, Glenn Youngkin
(34:58):
is going to serve in this position. Secretary of Defense is going to be
X And I think that could beextraordinarily powerful when we come back. Lots
of questions. Is the election over? Did God save Trump? And much more
