On the cover of New York magazine, a caricature of Kamala Harris is depicted sitting atop an enormous coconut, with prominent Democrats celebrating down below, with the title 'Welcome to Kamalot' emblazened across.
This ridiculousness is just the beginning of the media's quest to revive the tarnished image of a very flawed candidate in order to serve as the bulwark against a second Trump Presidency. Will it work?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

single day on your favorite podcast platform. When you have
this open political coup, well, where are the powers that
be in the Democratic Party to pose the elected nominee
(00:24):
Joe Biden. It's a remarkable thing to behold, and I
think it just it is such a gift to Donald
Trump and to the GOP in so many different ways.
I want to break that down on my first show
back from a rare week on vacation thirty years of
incredibly wonderful marriage with my wife, and we'd been planning
(00:44):
this trip and we planned it to leave right after
the GOP convention. Thought our time was perfect. And then
after more than a year and a half of predicting
Joe Biden would not be the nominee, then of course
he took out his revenge and decided to time that
or I should say the the Obamas, those who overthrew him,
decided to time you know, the final thrust for that
(01:06):
Sunday before we left on our trips. So thanks so
much again to Heidi Ganall and to John Caldera, who
did such a great job while I was gone, and
of course Ryan and Kelly for holding down the fort.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But I am back now.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And so anxious to talk about this because listen. Of course,
as I had said before, once Biden's gone, the race
gets tougher for Trump because it cannot get easier than
Biden because he's politically dead man walking. So the race
was going to get tougher, but it was still going
to be Trump's to win, and it still is today,
(01:40):
and thank goodness. And I noticed the Texter suggested Jill
Biden was behind it, saying health says no, Hell has
no fury like a first lady scorn. But whoever, and
the Biden team engineered this more power to him, and
they did Donald Trump a great favor, as I'm sure
they wanted to do, not because they want to benefit Trump,
but they want Obama and the others who deposed Joe
(02:02):
Biden to lose, so that means the Democrat has to lose.
And does anybody doubt for a second that Joe Biden
wants Kamala Harris to lose? Does anybody really think he
wants Kamala Harris to win, so the people who humiliated
him publicly and forced him out of the nomination, that
he won far and square at the polls, so those
people will prevail. Does any sane person think Joe Biden
(02:25):
wants it? No, he wants Kamala Harris to lose. He
wants the people who did this to him to lose,
and so his team engineers it so that Harris is
locked in and locked in quickly, and the Obamas are thwarted.
And why do you think the Obamas opposed her? Why
do you think the Obamas wouldn't get behind her. They're
smart people who have done terrible things policy wise to
(02:49):
this country, But they're smart people who know that she
is the weakest of all the major candidates.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They could run so true, And I think they see
a few moves ahead on the chessboard as I do, Dan,
And why I think, although your prediction was better than mine,
I got to get that out there and get that right.
But in this instance, there's no moves on the chessboard
for Kamal Harris.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Two fronts.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She has not done a single sit down interview with
any mainstream media outlet, yet why ask yourself that? And
then two to the Joe Biden point. If the Biden
Harris administration is so ragingly successful, she's going to claim
on the campaign trail, why would Joe Biden not be
out there with her? Because you know damn well he
is not going to be seen with her on a stage.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
She doesn't want that.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
She's trying to run from him, yet somehow try to
draft next to him that she wasn't responsible for the
bad things, but she can be for the good things.
I don't see how she splits that hair. I don't
see how you do it.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
No, And obviously we're so close to the election now right,
I mean, things are so locked in. The American people
know who she is, you know, and all of the
scrubbing of the internet to claim she isn't responsible for
the border and.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
All this, that's not going to change anything.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The American people know who she is, and it's going
to get worse for her because while they know who
she is and they don't like it, which is why
she's had an approval rating worse than Biden's, they don't
know the half of it yet because the media has
protected her. But once they start hearing right from her mouth.
Once they start hearing all of these things she has
said that have so radically far left of where America
(04:25):
is at, it's just going to go downhill for her.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And a couple points modern history tabs to keep an
eye on a vice president running after the president they
served under. Georgia Herbert Walker Bush nineteen eighty eight. Of
course he wanted Ronald Reagan attached to him wherever he went,
his name, his likeness, his policies, all of that, and
that's what you saw, and that's a big reason why
Bush won in two thousand and al Gore had kind
(04:49):
of a similar problem. The Clinton years were successful as
Democrats would define them, but he had the Monica Lewinsky scandal,
and Gore didn't wasn't sure how he wanted to navigate that.
We had a photo finish score barely lost. Biden running
this last time around. Of course, he wants Barack Obama
out there, but we didn't see a lot of Barack
Obama in twenty twenty. You could blame COVID for that,
(05:10):
but that disconnect. I don't know this time again, if
Biden's policies, if his presidency was such a success historically.
So we hear from MSNBC and Joe Scarborough, you would
think he'd be at every stop and every rally, in
every campaign event with Kamala, But I guarant blank and
te you he will not be.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Then ask yourself why not.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Obviously she wants to distance herself as much as possible
from him, right, But keep in mind, as a guy
who wants her to lose because he wants the people
who humiliated him to fail, he has a lot of
different ways to help accomplish that. But the biggest one
he's already done, right, which was to make sure she
got that spot. If he wants the people who deposed
(05:53):
him to lose, the best thing he.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Could do was make sure she got that spot. Can
you imagine if we.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Were sitting here right now at five to eleven point
four to nine on this beautiful Monday, and we were
talking about, Okay, the Dems now have Michelle Obama or
the Dems now have a Whitmer Shapiro combination. I mean,
the road ahead would be so much tougher. By the way,
I want to make sure folks know this news this
believe it or not confirmed by the Biden administration. But
(06:20):
then they put this dishonest twist on it. Iran trying
to sabotage Trump's presidential campaign, says US intelligence, Tehran using
vast webs of online personas and propaganda mills against Trump.
The FBI and Monday shared new details regarding their investigation
into an assassination attempt against the former president. US intelligence
(06:43):
officials believe that Iran is trying to sabotage former President
Trump's presidential campaign through online influence operations. According to a
press briefing. Monday, speaking to reporters, in official with the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence said US by
agencies observe ti Ran working to influence the president on
show election.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Now listen to this bizarre spin.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Likely because Iranian leaders want to avoid increased tensions with
the US. No, it's because Iranian leaders want a Patsy yep,
and they've got a Patsy in Biden Harris.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So yeah, Iranian collusion then for the Democratic the under
percent why, I think you're absolutely right Dan on your theory,
and I haven't heard a lot of this from anywhere
else that Joe Biden doesn't really want Kamala to win
because if he did, if he did, Dan, you know
what he'd do. He'd resign the office right now. He'd
allow her to elevate to the presidency, first female black president.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
She'd have that strength and gravitas to run from that
position of incumbency.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's not given her that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Right, right, you're one hundred percent correct about all of that.
But the same people who ran him out of the nomination,
the same people who deposed this duly elected Democrat nominee
behind the scenes, those same people may well be able
to run him out of office before election day. I'm
(08:05):
not at the point of predicting that as a probability,
but a very strong chance he's gone before election day,
and she gets all those advantages, right, I mean, he
could be gone by election day simply by virtue of
his obvious incapacity. He shouldn't be president today. He should
be out under the twenty fifth Amendment today. But I
(08:25):
think a very strong chance that she is president of
the United States before election day. And then a question
for you, do you think that would help her hurt
her chances? For all the reasons, Ryan said, and I
agree with all of those. You would think it would
help her chances, And I would bet that it would.
But there's a scenario where it would actually hurt her
because then she has to be out there more. Then
(08:49):
the American people get a better look at her. I
think very clearly going to run their own version of
a basement campaign with her. I mean, she'll be out
above ground at these timelightly controlled rallies, et cetera. Let's
welcome back to our phone lines after the break. Great
textures as well. I want to get you some hot
take sound of things the American people don't even know
(09:10):
yet about Kamala Harris, and yet based on what they
do know, she's got lower approval ratings than Biden.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast the Take.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
File Overnight Andrew Kozinski and his team. This is a
sounding interview that the Vice President who was that a senator,
did in twenty twenty, and this was during everything going
on around George Floyd and the protests there where she
talked about the defund the police movement and what she
said is that the movement was about rightly saying look
(09:45):
at budgets and priorities, and I want to play a
little bit more.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
What she said, part of what we have to do
here is also look at the militarization.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Of police departments and the.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Kind of money that is going to that, and we
need to demilitarize police departments. It is outdated and is
actually wrong and backward to think that more police officers
will create more safety.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh man, please just run that on a loop every
spot between now an election day, because that tells you
everything you need to know about Kamala Harrison. It's out wrong,
it's outdated to say more police officers equal more safety. Please,
because I'll tell you, across party lines, racial lines, every
kind of lines, what do you care about most?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What does everybody care about most?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Keeping their children safe, keeping their loved ones safe, keeping
their spouse safe. And everybody with a brain cell knows
that the more police we have, the safer we're going
to be. And Kamala Harris has ties to the defund
the police movement, all of that. That should be a
major focus of this campaign. And I really hope because
(10:48):
Donald Trump, I'm watching him to sit down interview during
the break. He's so brilliant, his courage, his ability, He'll
sit down with any of these reporters from any network.
And as we were talking about before the break, how
often do you think we'll see that Withamala Harris, who's
going to have her own version of a basement type campaign.
But no, I really we come back to what we've
(11:08):
been talking about for a long time. It is President
Trump's race to lose. America is not going to vote
for Kamala Harris over President Trump. The issue is will
will enough people vote against President Trump? Not as things
stand right now, so over these literally last few days
of the campaign, if we get the B Trump, let
(11:31):
alone the A Trump, he's going to win, and he's
going to win substantially A five to five for zero five,
A two five five. And as we go to the
phone lines and back to the text think about Obama
is both of them they were right. They were right
not to back Kamala Harris. And they didn't back her
because they know she's likely to lose and there are
far stronger Democrat choices. And you look at the Democrats
(11:53):
needing all three Blue Wall states in all likelihood, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
Can you imagine a worst Democrat choice for nominee than
Kamala Harris. You could not it would be hard to
create a worse Democrat nominee for the Blue Wall States
than Kamala Harris for so many different reasons, but put
this at the top of your list.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay, those three states.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
The Catholic vote very critical, likely what gave the presidency
to Trump in sixteen when Hillary Clinton went so radically
far left on abortion, celebrating glorifying late term abortion. Kamala Harris,
if you want the Catholic vote, She's probably the worst
candidate you could come up with as a party. And
I think she's going to get slacked in the Catholic vote,
(12:36):
and that alone would make the difference. Dan and Centennial.
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, welcome back. Thank you, Hey dude. I've
been sitting here for an hour. I'm so glad you're
back's been sitting in my garage working on some stuff.
Bob in my head going yet yep, yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I wish my wife would do.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Oh, it's awesome. So I got to add because I
bought a lot of these points up to Caldera the
other day and he basically dismissed me, like I'm an idiot.
But this thing started out with a Democrat Party whatever,
not losing power. That's why they've hated Trump all along.
It goes deeper than that, and that this became personal
(13:20):
between Trump and Obama. And now that now that Biden
can't be part of uh, you know, Obama's plan to
keep Trump out of the office, they just they just
got rid of him. So a big brief, but I
don't believe Biden's going to be president. I believe they
are gonna They're going to find a way and hear
me out play this twenty tristh Amendment card so they
(13:43):
can come back later and say he's crazy, he's a lunatic,
all this stuff about our our corruption and our crimes,
our bogus, and that's how they're going to get rid
of this whole thing, because they've already decided and they
know for a fact they are not winning this election
outside of some craziness. Yeah, that's my point.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, Dan, appreciate the call, and thank you for that
very much and the kind words. Listen, And this goes
back to what Ryan and I were talking to before
the break and what I've been talking about for months.
If Kamala Harris becomes president of the United states before
election day. It makes her a stronger candidate. Right, she
just gets cloaked in the presidency and all of that.
(14:24):
It presents some peril to her because the American people
get to see more of her, and that's bad for her,
But overall it's going to be a plus. The likelihood
of that, the likelihood that Biden will be gone before
election day, I think goes up every day. I don't
think it's going to be a twenty fifth Amendment scenario
because now that Team Biden very effectively outmaneuvered Obamas. And
(14:47):
when I say Team Biden I don't mean Joe Biden
is sitting there as the mastermind. I mean Team Biden,
whether it's driven by Joe Biden, you know others on
his team. They outmaneuvered the Obamas. They got Harris in there,
they got her ensconced in and likely in there to stay.
And they know Biden's know she is the candidate least
(15:07):
likely to beat Trump. And this all comes back to, right,
Obama wants the people who humiliated him and deposed him
to fail, and so does anybody really think he wants
them to succeed. No, he wants them to fail, and
Harris is the weakest of the candidates.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But here's my point.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, I think the chance that she becomes president before
election day goes up each day. And today, here's another example.
You probably haven't seen this on the news yet, and
you probably won't see it on the news because it's
bad for Democrats. But Joe Biden is on the tarmac
and a reporter shouts out to him that his Supreme
(15:46):
Court reform is, according to Speaker Johnson quote, dead on arrival,
and Biden responded by saying that's what he is. And
the reporter asked for clarification that he is, and Biden responded, he.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is dead on arrival.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So here's Joe Biden on a tarmac and whether he
realized what he was saying or not responding to the
Speaker of the House stating that Biden's Supreme Court reform
is dead on arrival by saying the Speaker himself is
dead on arrival. I mean, that's the kind of bizarre
(16:27):
stuff that is likely to vastly speed.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Up Biden's exit from office.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But they can't do it through the twenty fifth Amendment now, right,
they can't do it through the twenty fifth Amendment. Because
that requires Harris's signature, and that would be so politically toxic,
so they don't have to do it through the twenty
fifth Amendment. They do it the same way they were
able to pull off their political coup to usurp the
(16:55):
will of the fourteen million voters who voted for Biden
to be the nomine and they go to them behind
the scenes, and they use the leverage they have. And
I've been talking about this for a long time. They
have tremendous leverage on Joe Biden. My opinion, Joe Biden
is obviously corrupt. The Left knows where those bodies are buried.
They certainly know they can greenlight those stories. I think
(17:18):
they have so much leverage on Joe Biden that if
they have to force him out of office and in
order to give Harris a real chance to win, it
would not surprise me at all if they were able
to do that. Eight p Fox five for zero five
eight two five five the number text d an five
seven seven three nine. When we come back, I want
(17:39):
to continue to break down and get your reaction to,
particularly if you disagree, get your reaction to my thoughts
on on why Harris is the weakest of all the
Democrat candidates they could run no matter who she picks
his VP, Harris is the weakest, and get into the
specifics of the many different ways she is so bad
(18:01):
for the Democrat Party and I think is likely to
not only lose, but drag down other candidates down ticket.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's interesting, Ryan, you were making the point earlier and
I've been out of the country for last week, but
you've been making the point that the left now is
using the whole coconut theme as a pro Harris symbol.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Is that right they're trying.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, this one woman writer, I mean, this is just
pathetic if you ask me, But it said she's been
coconut pilled in terms of being converted to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But can somebody explain the coconut thing? Why the coconut is.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
The idea got out of a coconut tree.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
So they're trying to make this a positive.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Do you exist in the context of all in which
you live and what came before you?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So they think that's a positive.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I think what she says at the end is even
more hysterical than the Coconut Tree party.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah wow, that would be kind of the ultimate gas lighting.
But that goes to a great text, and I do
I'll get to the phones, but I want to dive
into these texts as well.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Historically, what happens when someone like Kamala tries to move
to the center. Do most people tend to believe they
have changed? Bob and Arveda. What a brilliant point, Bob,
because if you look back at the Democrats who have
won the presidency, at least in my lifetime, you know
that they have won the presidency by pretending to be moderates. Now,
JFK is in a class of his own right. We
(19:38):
all know that JFK would be run out of the
modern Democratic Party, let alone be their presidential nominee. But Democrats,
when they have won the presidency, they've won by pulling
the con and pretending to be moderates. Remember Barack Obama
when he ran in two thousand and eight opposed to
gay marriage, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So that's how Democrats have on.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's way too late for that for Kamala Harris, and
I believe that's a big reason why both Michelle and
Barack Obama were not supporting her until they were kind
of forced and shamed into it because Kamala and Biden's
consolidated support for Kamala so quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So no Bob Democrats pull that off all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Look at Colorado, even in deep, deep blue Colorado, you
have all these Democrats, Polis Hicking Looper, Ben Bennett having
to run his phonies is con said, let me take
that back, better choice of words, conning the people of
Colorado by pretending to be moderate when they're obviously hard left.
(20:43):
And so that's how Democrats win. It's too late for Kamala.
She can't pull that off. She came out of hard
left California, hard left San Francisco. She is tacked as
hard as she could to the left all along. So
the fact that she's going to revert first positions now
is only going to make it worse for and the
proof of that, the proof of that is what happened
(21:06):
in her campaign. In her twenty twenty campaign, she was
right at the top. There was one point early in
that camp campaign where I said, I think she's the
likely nominee. She opened her campaign with twenty thousand people
in Oakland, gave a soaring speech, but then within months,
two months in advance of the Iowa caucus, is she's
broken out of the race.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, that is such a fall.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And again she tried to reinvent herself because this hard
left thing wasn't even working within the Democratic primary.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
She's that far left.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
So she's going to go out there now and she's
going to claim she really is for fracking, and she's
going to claim that no, there should be some border
security and all these things that she's on tape as
opposing in the past.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
That's only going to make.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It worse for because one of the big things Trump
has going for him and the reason he gets a
lot of votes from people who may not like this
or that about him is he is very authentic.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know, what you see is what you get.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And no matter what you think of any different Democrat
candidates policies, many come across as authentic when they really aren't.
Is there anybody out there, one person on the face
of this earth who has ever used that word for
Kamala Harris, who has ever described her as authentic.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I don't think you could get a less authentic candidate
for president. And so what that party is stuck with
now is they're stuck with this San Francisco lefty who's
tied to all of Biden's failures, who comes across as
very inauthentic, you know, has no notable accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
See, the thing with Trump is like any human, Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Has his flaws, but he has these big accomplishments and
these big strings to outweigh his flaws.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She has all these obvious flaws, but she.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Doesn't have these big drinks and big accomplishments to outweigh
the flaws. They are stuck. The Democrats are stuck in
a very bad spot. America will not elect Kamala Harris. Now,
maybe enough Americans vote against Donald Trump. I don't think
that'll happen. But I just come back to for all
those reasons, it is Trump's race to lose. He is
in the driver's seat. And I am optimistic that this
(23:22):
development is going to make sure we don't have any
complacency on the GOP side, and that we're going to
get the best version of Trump, because now, hey, it's
a tougher race. I think we're going to get the
best version, but Democrats are stuck with the worst of
their major options. Sane and beautiful Greeley, Colorado. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Hey. One
of the things that's kind of a technical point, but
you know, we have a Constitution for a reason. Yeah,
Kamala is not Article two, Section five, Clause four natural
boring citizen. Neither of her parents for naturalized citizens at
the time of her birth. So you know, there's a
(24:05):
real weakness there, and whether or not that weakness is
going to be pointed out and really exploited by Trump
and his heem who knows?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let me ask you this because I have not looked
at that. But then if that's correct, why isn't the
RNC all over it? Why wouldn't the campaign be.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
All over the boy? That's an amazingly good question, And
it also goes to, Okay, well, who's really betting these
people at a federal level, because obviously she's been vice
president and still is.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, and that's what makes me doubt that there'd be
legal issue. But let me ask you, let me ask
you a broader question, Thane, and I'll pose it to
others as well, and that is given the other, say,
top tier options for the Democrats, do you really think
that Trump would want somebody other than commalist many?
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Now, I mean, really, she's it's like playing keyball and
she's the baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I wouldn't say you know this well.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I don't mean to mean like mean or in a
harsh way, but just saying that this is really a
golden opportunity for Trump. And you're right, no, I think
he wants Tomala because of her obvious clause. The weakness
is that you. I think it's done a great job
pointing out. And I don't know to your earlier question
(25:34):
about the constitutional issue, I don't know why anybody or
nobody has really pointed that out, because I do believe
that that is the case. It's kind of the juice
sangue and just solely of the blood or of the soil,
and she's neither.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And that's in the let's forget my ignorance. What's that
last reference, Uh, juice.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Sang solely it is of the blood of the soil,
and that's kind of the real foundational element of the
natural born stipulation in the Constitution.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We're up against the heartbreaks, so we're up against a heartbreak.
But thank you for the call. I think that's not
being made an issue at this point for two reasons,
because I would expect that it's not an issue that.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
They could prevail on.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But the other one, my friend, is again, if you're Trump,
you're sitting there, of course you'd rather one against Biden,
because he'd already beat Biden right essentially, But of all
of the other options, wouldn't you rather have Kamala? I think,
of course, he's probably very relieved that their nominee ends
up being Kamala Harris eight five for zer five A
(26:50):
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. When we come back, some more examples of
the sound, and there's video tied to this that that
most of the American people haven't seen or heard yet.
And the more they get to see and hear of this,
you know that that more Kamala Harris is going to
lose support, and I think to the point where down
(27:10):
ticket Dems are going to be hurt by her.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
And now back to the Dan Kapliss Show. Podcast, not the.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Courage to object when they use that term radical Islamic terrorism.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
There is so much out there, so much out there,
And this makes money so much more important than the
Trump campaign, right, because a lot of this money spend
on TV is just a waste, right. I mean, so
many people right now have just become immune to it.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But this is different. There is so much out there
on Harris video, her own words, full context, that it's
so critical for the American people to see. So this is.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Where the Trump campaign really does need, really does need
hundreds and hundreds of millions, because the mainstream media isn't
going to be reporting this, right. And I understand there
are all different sorts of ways to reach people now
digitally as well as broadcast TV, but you've got to
have the money to be all over broadcast TV with
this as well as social media, because you know, everybody
(28:21):
talks about the youth vote, the youth vote is going
to be Harrison's Wait a second, you break this down.
There's only about one third of youth voters at this
point who identify themselves as liberal, and there are lots
of other concerns that youth voters have, so so You've
just got to get this stuff out there, which brings
me to another point. We don't have time to do
justice today, but I wanted to get it out there.
(28:43):
Donald Trump has got to get on Twitter. He has
got to get back on Twitter. And I understand true
social and I understand, you know, all the different business
considerations there, but Donald Trump has got to get back
on Twitter because you have to have this vehicle with
all of the tens and tens a million and followers
that Trump would have on Twitter. You've got to have
this vehicle to be able to get this video out there.
(29:06):
And I understand the RNC is doing a very good
job of putting it out there, as our other sources individuals.
But Donald Trump has this platform on Twitter, this megaphone,
which can trigger these things going viral. So he needs
to get back on Twitter. Let me get to some
text texts have been exploding all day, and need to
(29:26):
get more on air here eight five five for zero
five A two five five the number and on cue
text decides to revolt on me, So we'll try to
get those back up quickly. Maybe it had a long weekend.
Let's go to Jane and Rye Colorado. What a pleasure
to get a call from Rye. You're on the dan
Kaplis shall welcome Jane, thank you.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Sure I'm calling because I just wanted to put a
fine point on the natural born citizens clause in the Constitution.
I was reading something the other and they were talking
about the motivations the founders had for including that was
they didn't want some aristocrat from Europe, like a prince,
(30:14):
marrying an American girl and then their child would possibly
become president. And the really great way they described it
was back in those days natural born. Think of that
in terms of a horse for a mule. So you
get a horse with a horse natural born, their child
(30:35):
would be a horse, but not natural born. Would be
a horse with a donkey and they get a mule,
so that's not natural born. So her parents were born students.
Her father was from Jamaica, her mother from India, and
she grew up in Canada. She doesn't understand the heartfulness
(30:58):
of being your childhood, your home and it also applies
to a block Jane.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Let well, well, and let me ask you this question
first day. And I know you didn't mean it in
a mean way, but I don't like those animal analogies
at all. But if this was a winning legal argument,
why wouldn't the r n C, Why wouldn't the campaign
be making that argument?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Well, first of all, I think that you know, an
animal analogy was, but they were using that there.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I just don't like it. I don't like it as
applied to humans. Now I don't like it as applied
to a presidential race. I know you don't mean it
in a mean way, but tell me, Jane, if this
is in fact a winning legal slash constitutional argument, why
aren't we hearing it from the RNC or the campaign?
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Well?
Speaker 9 (31:46):
I think that you made the point that who else
who would be a better opponent than Kamala. Yeah, but
it hurts some to me, and it makes me feel
like the Republicans are actually the r NB. We only
came through with their convention this year, but historically they've
done leaning. They needed more red seat and support their candidates.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Jane, appreciate the call. I want to get to a
bunch of these texts. Texter says Michael Brown, who, by
the way, does a wonderful show. I listened to it
every morning on six point thirty kitch a w in Denver.
Texter Michael Brown has previously debunked the last caller's assertion
that she isn't eligible for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I don't support her, but she is eligible. That from
DK in Broomfield.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And I just come back to again, if there was
more to this, I would expect we'd be hearing more
about it. But I also come back to, if you're Trump,
you are very relieved that the Democrat nominee is going
to be Kamala Harrison, not one of their better options.
And then we have a Texter who says Dan Kamala
also said equity means we all end up in the
(32:53):
same spot. Sounds a lot like communism. And I'm so
glad the text to raise that because listen to this quote.
This is a verbatim quote from Kamala Harris when she's
talking about equity. She says, and if the goal is
truly about equality, it has to be about a goal
of saying everybody should end up in the same place.
(33:17):
And since we don't start out in the same place,
some folks might need more equitable distribution.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
As the American people learn more about that, and that's
where it comes to the Trump campaign and the RNC
and doing it right and focusing on what needs to
be focused on and having the money to put it
out there, and Trump getting back on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
People need to know that this is who she really is.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
If the goal is truly about equality, it has to
be about a goal of saying everybody should end up
in the same place, and obviously vast majority of Americans
equal opportunity not guaranteed equal outcome. Wow, Ryan, we only
have another minute or so left in the show. Apologies
to callers who didn't get through. We'll get you out tomorrow.
(34:03):
I guess we have about thirty seconds left in the show.
This is going to be an amazing ride. Keep in
mind that the votes start getting casting what late September.
So again, so fortunate for Trump and the GOP that
the Dems are stuck with Kamala Harris still have to
do a good job on the GOP side. Why haven't
we heard any talk about Jared Polis as Kamala Harris
(34:25):
is VP.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, we'll talk about that tomorrow as well. Thanks for
your time.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us 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. When you have
this open political coup, well, where are the powers that
be in the Democratic Party to pose the elected nominee
(00:24):
Joe Biden. It's a remarkable thing to behold, and I
think it just it is such a gift to Donald
Trump and to the GOP in so many different ways.
I want to break that down on my first show
back from a rare week on vacation thirty years of
incredibly wonderful marriage with my wife, and we'd been planning
(00:44):
this trip and we planned it to leave right after
the GOP convention. Thought our time was perfect. And then
after more than a year and a half of predicting
Joe Biden would not be the nominee, then of course
he took out his revenge and decided to time that
or I should say the the Obamas, those who overthrew him,
decided to time you know, the final thrust for that
(01:06):
Sunday before we left on our trips. So thanks so
much again to Heidi Ganall and to John Caldera, who
did such a great job while I was gone, and
of course Ryan and Kelly for holding down the fort.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But I am back now.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And so anxious to talk about this because listen. Of course,
as I had said before, once Biden's gone, the race
gets tougher for Trump because it cannot get easier than
Biden because he's politically dead man walking. So the race
was going to get tougher, but it was still going
to be Trump's to win, and it still is today,
(01:40):
and thank goodness. And I noticed the Texter suggested Jill
Biden was behind it, saying health says no, Hell has
no fury like a first lady scorn. But whoever, and
the Biden team engineered this more power to him, and
they did Donald Trump a great favor, as I'm sure
they wanted to do, not because they want to benefit Trump,
but they want Obama and the others who deposed Joe
(02:02):
Biden to lose, so that means the Democrat has to lose.
And does anybody doubt for a second that Joe Biden
wants Kamala Harris to lose? Does anybody really think he
wants Kamala Harris to win, so the people who humiliated
him publicly and forced him out of the nomination, that
he won far and square at the polls, so those
people will prevail. Does any sane person think Joe Biden
(02:25):
wants it? No, he wants Kamala Harris to lose. He
wants the people who did this to him to lose,
and so his team engineers it so that Harris is
locked in and locked in quickly, and the Obamas are thwarted.
And why do you think the Obamas opposed her? Why
do you think the Obamas wouldn't get behind her. They're
smart people who have done terrible things policy wise to
(02:49):
this country, But they're smart people who know that she
is the weakest of all the major candidates.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They could run so true, And I think they see
a few moves ahead on the chessboard as I do, Dan,
And why I think, although your prediction was better than mine,
I got to get that out there and get that right.
But in this instance, there's no moves on the chessboard
for Kamal Harris.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Two fronts.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She has not done a single sit down interview with
any mainstream media outlet, yet why ask yourself that? And
then two to the Joe Biden point. If the Biden
Harris administration is so ragingly successful, she's going to claim
on the campaign trail, why would Joe Biden not be
out there with her? Because you know damn well he
is not going to be seen with her on a stage.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
She doesn't want that.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
She's trying to run from him, yet somehow try to
draft next to him that she wasn't responsible for the
bad things, but she can be for the good things.
I don't see how she splits that hair. I don't
see how you do it.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
No, And obviously we're so close to the election now right,
I mean, things are so locked in. The American people
know who she is, you know, and all of the
scrubbing of the internet to claim she isn't responsible for
the border and.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
All this, that's not going to change anything.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The American people know who she is, and it's going
to get worse for her because while they know who
she is and they don't like it, which is why
she's had an approval rating worse than Biden's, they don't
know the half of it yet because the media has
protected her. But once they start hearing right from her mouth.
Once they start hearing all of these things she has
said that have so radically far left of where America
(04:25):
is at, it's just going to go downhill for her.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And a couple points modern history tabs to keep an
eye on a vice president running after the president they
served under. Georgia Herbert Walker Bush nineteen eighty eight. Of
course he wanted Ronald Reagan attached to him wherever he went,
his name, his likeness, his policies, all of that, and
that's what you saw, and that's a big reason why
Bush won in two thousand and al Gore had kind
(04:49):
of a similar problem. The Clinton years were successful as
Democrats would define them, but he had the Monica Lewinsky scandal,
and Gore didn't wasn't sure how he wanted to navigate that.
We had a photo finish score barely lost. Biden running
this last time around. Of course, he wants Barack Obama
out there, but we didn't see a lot of Barack
Obama in twenty twenty. You could blame COVID for that,
(05:10):
but that disconnect. I don't know this time again, if
Biden's policies, if his presidency was such a success historically.
So we hear from MSNBC and Joe Scarborough, you would
think he'd be at every stop and every rally, in
every campaign event with Kamala, But I guarant blank and
te you he will not be.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Then ask yourself why not.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Obviously she wants to distance herself as much as possible
from him, right, But keep in mind, as a guy
who wants her to lose because he wants the people
who humiliated him to fail, he has a lot of
different ways to help accomplish that. But the biggest one
he's already done, right, which was to make sure she
got that spot. If he wants the people who deposed
(05:53):
him to lose, the best thing he.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Could do was make sure she got that spot. Can
you imagine if we.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Were sitting here right now at five to eleven point
four to nine on this beautiful Monday, and we were
talking about, Okay, the Dems now have Michelle Obama or
the Dems now have a Whitmer Shapiro combination. I mean,
the road ahead would be so much tougher. By the way,
I want to make sure folks know this news this
believe it or not confirmed by the Biden administration. But
(06:20):
then they put this dishonest twist on it. Iran trying
to sabotage Trump's presidential campaign, says US intelligence, Tehran using
vast webs of online personas and propaganda mills against Trump.
The FBI and Monday shared new details regarding their investigation
into an assassination attempt against the former president. US intelligence
(06:43):
officials believe that Iran is trying to sabotage former President
Trump's presidential campaign through online influence operations. According to a
press briefing. Monday, speaking to reporters, in official with the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence said US by
agencies observe ti Ran working to influence the president on
show election.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Now listen to this bizarre spin.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Likely because Iranian leaders want to avoid increased tensions with
the US. No, it's because Iranian leaders want a Patsy yep,
and they've got a Patsy in Biden Harris.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So yeah, Iranian collusion then for the Democratic the under
percent why, I think you're absolutely right Dan on your theory,
and I haven't heard a lot of this from anywhere
else that Joe Biden doesn't really want Kamala to win
because if he did, if he did, Dan, you know
what he'd do. He'd resign the office right now. He'd
allow her to elevate to the presidency, first female black president.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
She'd have that strength and gravitas to run from that
position of incumbency.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's not given her that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Right, right, you're one hundred percent correct about all of that.
But the same people who ran him out of the nomination,
the same people who deposed this duly elected Democrat nominee
behind the scenes, those same people may well be able
to run him out of office before election day. I'm
(08:05):
not at the point of predicting that as a probability,
but a very strong chance he's gone before election day,
and she gets all those advantages, right, I mean, he
could be gone by election day simply by virtue of
his obvious incapacity. He shouldn't be president today. He should
be out under the twenty fifth Amendment today. But I
(08:25):
think a very strong chance that she is president of
the United States before election day. And then a question
for you, do you think that would help her hurt
her chances? For all the reasons, Ryan said, and I
agree with all of those. You would think it would
help her chances, And I would bet that it would.
But there's a scenario where it would actually hurt her
because then she has to be out there more. Then
(08:49):
the American people get a better look at her. I
think very clearly going to run their own version of
a basement campaign with her. I mean, she'll be out
above ground at these timelightly controlled rallies, et cetera. Let's
welcome back to our phone lines after the break. Great
textures as well. I want to get you some hot
take sound of things the American people don't even know
(09:10):
yet about Kamala Harris, and yet based on what they
do know, she's got lower approval ratings than Biden.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast the Take.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
File Overnight Andrew Kozinski and his team. This is a
sounding interview that the Vice President who was that a senator,
did in twenty twenty, and this was during everything going
on around George Floyd and the protests there where she
talked about the defund the police movement and what she
said is that the movement was about rightly saying look
(09:45):
at budgets and priorities, and I want to play a
little bit more.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
What she said, part of what we have to do
here is also look at the militarization.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Of police departments and the.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Kind of money that is going to that, and we
need to demilitarize police departments. It is outdated and is
actually wrong and backward to think that more police officers
will create more safety.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh man, please just run that on a loop every
spot between now an election day, because that tells you
everything you need to know about Kamala Harrison. It's out wrong,
it's outdated to say more police officers equal more safety. Please,
because I'll tell you, across party lines, racial lines, every
kind of lines, what do you care about most?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What does everybody care about most?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Keeping their children safe, keeping their loved ones safe, keeping
their spouse safe. And everybody with a brain cell knows
that the more police we have, the safer we're going
to be. And Kamala Harris has ties to the defund
the police movement, all of that. That should be a
major focus of this campaign. And I really hope because
(10:48):
Donald Trump, I'm watching him to sit down interview during
the break. He's so brilliant, his courage, his ability, He'll
sit down with any of these reporters from any network.
And as we were talking about before the break, how
often do you think we'll see that Withamala Harris, who's
going to have her own version of a basement type campaign.
But no, I really we come back to what we've
(11:08):
been talking about for a long time. It is President
Trump's race to lose. America is not going to vote
for Kamala Harris over President Trump. The issue is will
will enough people vote against President Trump? Not as things
stand right now, so over these literally last few days
of the campaign, if we get the B Trump, let
(11:31):
alone the A Trump, he's going to win, and he's
going to win substantially A five to five for zero five,
A two five five. And as we go to the
phone lines and back to the text think about Obama
is both of them they were right. They were right
not to back Kamala Harris. And they didn't back her
because they know she's likely to lose and there are
far stronger Democrat choices. And you look at the Democrats
(11:53):
needing all three Blue Wall states in all likelihood, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
Can you imagine a worst Democrat choice for nominee than
Kamala Harris. You could not it would be hard to
create a worse Democrat nominee for the Blue Wall States
than Kamala Harris for so many different reasons, but put
this at the top of your list.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay, those three states.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
The Catholic vote very critical, likely what gave the presidency
to Trump in sixteen when Hillary Clinton went so radically
far left on abortion, celebrating glorifying late term abortion. Kamala Harris,
if you want the Catholic vote, She's probably the worst
candidate you could come up with as a party. And
I think she's going to get slacked in the Catholic vote,
(12:36):
and that alone would make the difference. Dan and Centennial.
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, welcome back. Thank you, Hey dude. I've
been sitting here for an hour. I'm so glad you're
back's been sitting in my garage working on some stuff.
Bob in my head going yet yep, yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I wish my wife would do.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Oh, it's awesome. So I got to add because I
bought a lot of these points up to Caldera the
other day and he basically dismissed me, like I'm an idiot.
But this thing started out with a Democrat Party whatever,
not losing power. That's why they've hated Trump all along.
It goes deeper than that, and that this became personal
(13:20):
between Trump and Obama. And now that now that Biden
can't be part of uh, you know, Obama's plan to
keep Trump out of the office, they just they just
got rid of him. So a big brief, but I
don't believe Biden's going to be president. I believe they
are gonna They're going to find a way and hear
me out play this twenty tristh Amendment card so they
(13:43):
can come back later and say he's crazy, he's a lunatic,
all this stuff about our our corruption and our crimes,
our bogus, and that's how they're going to get rid
of this whole thing, because they've already decided and they
know for a fact they are not winning this election
outside of some craziness. Yeah, that's my point.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, Dan, appreciate the call, and thank you for that
very much and the kind words. Listen, And this goes
back to what Ryan and I were talking to before
the break and what I've been talking about for months.
If Kamala Harris becomes president of the United states before
election day. It makes her a stronger candidate. Right, she
just gets cloaked in the presidency and all of that.
(14:24):
It presents some peril to her because the American people
get to see more of her, and that's bad for her,
But overall it's going to be a plus. The likelihood
of that, the likelihood that Biden will be gone before
election day, I think goes up every day. I don't
think it's going to be a twenty fifth Amendment scenario
because now that Team Biden very effectively outmaneuvered Obamas. And
(14:47):
when I say Team Biden I don't mean Joe Biden
is sitting there as the mastermind. I mean Team Biden,
whether it's driven by Joe Biden, you know others on
his team. They outmaneuvered the Obamas. They got Harris in there,
they got her ensconced in and likely in there to stay.
And they know Biden's know she is the candidate least
(15:07):
likely to beat Trump. And this all comes back to, right,
Obama wants the people who humiliated him and deposed him
to fail, and so does anybody really think he wants
them to succeed. No, he wants them to fail, and
Harris is the weakest of the candidates.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But here's my point.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, I think the chance that she becomes president before
election day goes up each day. And today, here's another example.
You probably haven't seen this on the news yet, and
you probably won't see it on the news because it's
bad for Democrats. But Joe Biden is on the tarmac
and a reporter shouts out to him that his Supreme
(15:46):
Court reform is, according to Speaker Johnson quote, dead on arrival,
and Biden responded by saying that's what he is. And
the reporter asked for clarification that he is, and Biden responded, he.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is dead on arrival.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So here's Joe Biden on a tarmac and whether he
realized what he was saying or not responding to the
Speaker of the House stating that Biden's Supreme Court reform
is dead on arrival by saying the Speaker himself is
dead on arrival. I mean, that's the kind of bizarre
(16:27):
stuff that is likely to vastly speed.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Up Biden's exit from office.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But they can't do it through the twenty fifth Amendment now, right,
they can't do it through the twenty fifth Amendment. Because
that requires Harris's signature, and that would be so politically toxic,
so they don't have to do it through the twenty
fifth Amendment. They do it the same way they were
able to pull off their political coup to usurp the
(16:55):
will of the fourteen million voters who voted for Biden
to be the nomine and they go to them behind
the scenes, and they use the leverage they have. And
I've been talking about this for a long time. They
have tremendous leverage on Joe Biden. My opinion, Joe Biden
is obviously corrupt. The Left knows where those bodies are buried.
They certainly know they can greenlight those stories. I think
(17:18):
they have so much leverage on Joe Biden that if
they have to force him out of office and in
order to give Harris a real chance to win, it
would not surprise me at all if they were able
to do that. Eight p Fox five for zero five
eight two five five the number text d an five
seven seven three nine. When we come back, I want
(17:39):
to continue to break down and get your reaction to,
particularly if you disagree, get your reaction to my thoughts
on on why Harris is the weakest of all the
Democrat candidates they could run no matter who she picks
his VP, Harris is the weakest, and get into the
specifics of the many different ways she is so bad
(18:01):
for the Democrat Party and I think is likely to
not only lose, but drag down other candidates down ticket.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's interesting, Ryan, you were making the point earlier and
I've been out of the country for last week, but
you've been making the point that the left now is
using the whole coconut theme as a pro Harris symbol.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Is that right they're trying.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, this one woman writer, I mean, this is just
pathetic if you ask me, But it said she's been
coconut pilled in terms of being converted to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But can somebody explain the coconut thing? Why the coconut is.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
The idea got out of a coconut tree.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
So they're trying to make this a positive.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Do you exist in the context of all in which
you live and what came before you?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So they think that's a positive.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I think what she says at the end is even
more hysterical than the Coconut Tree party.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah wow, that would be kind of the ultimate gas lighting.
But that goes to a great text, and I do
I'll get to the phones, but I want to dive
into these texts as well.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Historically, what happens when someone like Kamala tries to move
to the center. Do most people tend to believe they
have changed? Bob and Arveda. What a brilliant point, Bob,
because if you look back at the Democrats who have
won the presidency, at least in my lifetime, you know
that they have won the presidency by pretending to be moderates. Now,
JFK is in a class of his own right. We
(19:38):
all know that JFK would be run out of the
modern Democratic Party, let alone be their presidential nominee. But Democrats,
when they have won the presidency, they've won by pulling
the con and pretending to be moderates. Remember Barack Obama
when he ran in two thousand and eight opposed to
gay marriage, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So that's how Democrats have on.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's way too late for that for Kamala Harris, and
I believe that's a big reason why both Michelle and
Barack Obama were not supporting her until they were kind
of forced and shamed into it because Kamala and Biden's
consolidated support for Kamala so quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So no Bob Democrats pull that off all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Look at Colorado, even in deep, deep blue Colorado, you
have all these Democrats, Polis Hicking Looper, Ben Bennett having
to run his phonies is con said, let me take
that back, better choice of words, conning the people of
Colorado by pretending to be moderate when they're obviously hard left.
(20:43):
And so that's how Democrats win. It's too late for Kamala.
She can't pull that off. She came out of hard
left California, hard left San Francisco. She is tacked as
hard as she could to the left all along. So
the fact that she's going to revert first positions now
is only going to make it worse for and the
proof of that, the proof of that is what happened
(21:06):
in her campaign. In her twenty twenty campaign, she was
right at the top. There was one point early in
that camp campaign where I said, I think she's the
likely nominee. She opened her campaign with twenty thousand people
in Oakland, gave a soaring speech, but then within months,
two months in advance of the Iowa caucus, is she's
broken out of the race.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, that is such a fall.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And again she tried to reinvent herself because this hard
left thing wasn't even working within the Democratic primary.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
She's that far left.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
So she's going to go out there now and she's
going to claim she really is for fracking, and she's
going to claim that no, there should be some border
security and all these things that she's on tape as
opposing in the past.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
That's only going to make.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It worse for because one of the big things Trump
has going for him and the reason he gets a
lot of votes from people who may not like this
or that about him is he is very authentic.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know, what you see is what you get.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And no matter what you think of any different Democrat
candidates policies, many come across as authentic when they really aren't.
Is there anybody out there, one person on the face
of this earth who has ever used that word for
Kamala Harris, who has ever described her as authentic.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I don't think you could get a less authentic candidate
for president. And so what that party is stuck with
now is they're stuck with this San Francisco lefty who's
tied to all of Biden's failures, who comes across as
very inauthentic, you know, has no notable accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
See, the thing with Trump is like any human, Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Has his flaws, but he has these big accomplishments and
these big strings to outweigh his flaws.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She has all these obvious flaws, but she.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Doesn't have these big drinks and big accomplishments to outweigh
the flaws. They are stuck. The Democrats are stuck in
a very bad spot. America will not elect Kamala Harris. Now,
maybe enough Americans vote against Donald Trump. I don't think
that'll happen. But I just come back to for all
those reasons, it is Trump's race to lose. He is
in the driver's seat. And I am optimistic that this
(23:22):
development is going to make sure we don't have any
complacency on the GOP side, and that we're going to
get the best version of Trump, because now, hey, it's
a tougher race. I think we're going to get the
best version, but Democrats are stuck with the worst of
their major options. Sane and beautiful Greeley, Colorado. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Hey. One
of the things that's kind of a technical point, but
you know, we have a Constitution for a reason. Yeah,
Kamala is not Article two, Section five, Clause four natural
boring citizen. Neither of her parents for naturalized citizens at
the time of her birth. So you know, there's a
(24:05):
real weakness there, and whether or not that weakness is
going to be pointed out and really exploited by Trump
and his heem who knows?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let me ask you this because I have not looked
at that. But then if that's correct, why isn't the
RNC all over it? Why wouldn't the campaign be.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
All over the boy? That's an amazingly good question, And
it also goes to, Okay, well, who's really betting these
people at a federal level, because obviously she's been vice
president and still is.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, and that's what makes me doubt that there'd be
legal issue. But let me ask you, let me ask
you a broader question, Thane, and I'll pose it to
others as well, and that is given the other, say,
top tier options for the Democrats, do you really think
that Trump would want somebody other than commalist many?
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Now, I mean, really, she's it's like playing keyball and
she's the baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I wouldn't say you know this well.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I don't mean to mean like mean or in a
harsh way, but just saying that this is really a
golden opportunity for Trump. And you're right, no, I think
he wants Tomala because of her obvious clause. The weakness
is that you. I think it's done a great job
pointing out. And I don't know to your earlier question
(25:34):
about the constitutional issue, I don't know why anybody or
nobody has really pointed that out, because I do believe
that that is the case. It's kind of the juice
sangue and just solely of the blood or of the soil,
and she's neither.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And that's in the let's forget my ignorance. What's that
last reference, Uh, juice.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Sang solely it is of the blood of the soil,
and that's kind of the real foundational element of the
natural born stipulation in the Constitution.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We're up against the heartbreaks, so we're up against a heartbreak.
But thank you for the call. I think that's not
being made an issue at this point for two reasons,
because I would expect that it's not an issue that.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
They could prevail on.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But the other one, my friend, is again, if you're Trump,
you're sitting there, of course you'd rather one against Biden,
because he'd already beat Biden right essentially, But of all
of the other options, wouldn't you rather have Kamala? I think,
of course, he's probably very relieved that their nominee ends
up being Kamala Harris eight five for zer five A
(26:50):
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. When we come back, some more examples of
the sound, and there's video tied to this that that
most of the American people haven't seen or heard yet.
And the more they get to see and hear of this,
you know that that more Kamala Harris is going to
lose support, and I think to the point where down
(27:10):
ticket Dems are going to be hurt by her.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
And now back to the Dan Kapliss Show. Podcast, not the.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Courage to object when they use that term radical Islamic terrorism.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
There is so much out there, so much out there,
And this makes money so much more important than the
Trump campaign, right, because a lot of this money spend
on TV is just a waste, right. I mean, so
many people right now have just become immune to it.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But this is different. There is so much out there
on Harris video, her own words, full context, that it's
so critical for the American people to see. So this is.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Where the Trump campaign really does need, really does need
hundreds and hundreds of millions, because the mainstream media isn't
going to be reporting this, right. And I understand there
are all different sorts of ways to reach people now
digitally as well as broadcast TV, but you've got to
have the money to be all over broadcast TV with
this as well as social media, because you know, everybody
(28:21):
talks about the youth vote, the youth vote is going
to be Harrison's Wait a second, you break this down.
There's only about one third of youth voters at this
point who identify themselves as liberal, and there are lots
of other concerns that youth voters have, so so You've
just got to get this stuff out there, which brings
me to another point. We don't have time to do
justice today, but I wanted to get it out there.
(28:43):
Donald Trump has got to get on Twitter. He has
got to get back on Twitter. And I understand true
social and I understand, you know, all the different business
considerations there, but Donald Trump has got to get back
on Twitter because you have to have this vehicle with
all of the tens and tens a million and followers
that Trump would have on Twitter. You've got to have
this vehicle to be able to get this video out there.
(29:06):
And I understand the RNC is doing a very good
job of putting it out there, as our other sources individuals.
But Donald Trump has this platform on Twitter, this megaphone,
which can trigger these things going viral. So he needs
to get back on Twitter. Let me get to some
text texts have been exploding all day, and need to
(29:26):
get more on air here eight five five for zero
five A two five five the number and on cue
text decides to revolt on me, So we'll try to
get those back up quickly. Maybe it had a long weekend.
Let's go to Jane and Rye Colorado. What a pleasure
to get a call from Rye. You're on the dan
Kaplis shall welcome Jane, thank you.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Sure I'm calling because I just wanted to put a
fine point on the natural born citizens clause in the Constitution.
I was reading something the other and they were talking
about the motivations the founders had for including that was
they didn't want some aristocrat from Europe, like a prince,
(30:14):
marrying an American girl and then their child would possibly
become president. And the really great way they described it
was back in those days natural born. Think of that
in terms of a horse for a mule. So you
get a horse with a horse natural born, their child
(30:35):
would be a horse, but not natural born. Would be
a horse with a donkey and they get a mule,
so that's not natural born. So her parents were born students.
Her father was from Jamaica, her mother from India, and
she grew up in Canada. She doesn't understand the heartfulness
(30:58):
of being your childhood, your home and it also applies
to a block Jane.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Let well, well, and let me ask you this question
first day. And I know you didn't mean it in
a mean way, but I don't like those animal analogies
at all. But if this was a winning legal argument,
why wouldn't the r n C, Why wouldn't the campaign
be making that argument?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Well, first of all, I think that you know, an
animal analogy was, but they were using that there.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I just don't like it. I don't like it as
applied to humans. Now I don't like it as applied
to a presidential race. I know you don't mean it
in a mean way, but tell me, Jane, if this
is in fact a winning legal slash constitutional argument, why
aren't we hearing it from the RNC or the campaign?
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Well?
Speaker 9 (31:46):
I think that you made the point that who else
who would be a better opponent than Kamala. Yeah, but
it hurts some to me, and it makes me feel
like the Republicans are actually the r NB. We only
came through with their convention this year, but historically they've
done leaning. They needed more red seat and support their candidates.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Jane, appreciate the call. I want to get to a
bunch of these texts. Texter says Michael Brown, who, by
the way, does a wonderful show. I listened to it
every morning on six point thirty kitch a w in Denver.
Texter Michael Brown has previously debunked the last caller's assertion
that she isn't eligible for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I don't support her, but she is eligible. That from
DK in Broomfield.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And I just come back to again, if there was
more to this, I would expect we'd be hearing more
about it. But I also come back to, if you're Trump,
you are very relieved that the Democrat nominee is going
to be Kamala Harrison, not one of their better options.
And then we have a Texter who says Dan Kamala
also said equity means we all end up in the
(32:53):
same spot. Sounds a lot like communism. And I'm so
glad the text to raise that because listen to this quote.
This is a verbatim quote from Kamala Harris when she's
talking about equity. She says, and if the goal is
truly about equality, it has to be about a goal
of saying everybody should end up in the same place.
(33:17):
And since we don't start out in the same place,
some folks might need more equitable distribution.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
As the American people learn more about that, and that's
where it comes to the Trump campaign and the RNC
and doing it right and focusing on what needs to
be focused on and having the money to put it
out there, and Trump getting back on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
People need to know that this is who she really is.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
If the goal is truly about equality, it has to
be about a goal of saying everybody should end up
in the same place, and obviously vast majority of Americans
equal opportunity not guaranteed equal outcome. Wow, Ryan, we only
have another minute or so left in the show. Apologies
to callers who didn't get through. We'll get you out tomorrow.
(34:03):
I guess we have about thirty seconds left in the show.
This is going to be an amazing ride. Keep in
mind that the votes start getting casting what late September.
So again, so fortunate for Trump and the GOP that
the Dems are stuck with Kamala Harris still have to
do a good job on the GOP side. Why haven't
we heard any talk about Jared Polis as Kamala Harris
(34:25):
is VP.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, we'll talk about that tomorrow as well. Thanks for
your time.
