Vice-President Kamala Harris sends shockwaves throughout the political landscape, delighting many conservatives who feared Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) being on the 2024 ticket with her, as she somehow found a running mate to her political left in the form of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). Dan explains why this choice should put a spring in the Trump campaign's step and analyzes the reasons why she jilted Shapiro at the proverbial altar.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dankplas 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. Oh my goodness,
this is why Kamala Harris went from first to worst
in a stunningly short amount of time in twenty twenty. Right, Remember,
(00:23):
she was on top. I know, it seems like a
lifetime ago. She was on top, gave her announcement addressed
to over fifteen, maybe twenty thousand people in Oakland. She
was right at the top of the polls. She was
raising a lot of money, and in just a matter
of months she creted, She crated, and her staff was
leaving her and she had to drop out two months
(00:44):
before Iowa. And this is why, what horrific judgment, I mean,
what could have possessed her? How in the world does
she pass on Josh Shapiro a real chance to sew
up Pennsylvania? How does she pass on Josh Shapiro for
this Minnesota governor? Minnesota isn't even a swing state. And
(01:08):
in the meantime, she humiliates Shapiro. She has to alienate
an awful lot of Pennsylvanians because Shapiro, he was right
out there up front. He was trying to grovel and backtrack,
you know, on earlier statements he had made about Palestinians.
He was doing everything that he could. So she humiliates
the most qualified candidate and alienates the people of his
(01:32):
state in the process of unimaginably rejecting him in favor
of Waltz, and then at the same time does the
same thing to Arizona. She brings, she brings Mark Kelly
into the discussion and has him up there as one
of the top three, only to then reject him.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
And listen, it's one thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know, to get rejected for a superstar, to get
rejected for Walls. So she burns off Shapiro, burns off
and embarrasses Shapiro, and she burns off and embarrasses Kelly,
alienates people, including Democrats in both of those states for
this guy. And I'll tell you exactly why she did it,
(02:14):
exactly why she did it. And this is what has
made her one of the least popular vice presidents ever
and has undermined her in that first presidential run is
just the stunning lack of judgment and the profound insecurity.
And you see this in published reports, you know, published
(02:34):
reports about how she's so insecure when she's going to
meet with this group of big donors out in Hollywood,
that she has her staff stage this mock dinner so
she can practice for it and then ends up canceling
it anyway over anxiety. That was one published report. But
my goodness, I think what it came down to, and
(02:54):
we had talked about it on this show yesterday. I
think what it came down to is just like Obama
before her and Biden before her, these Democrats, they're looking
for a VP who is so much worse than they
are that nobody will want that person instead of getting
That's why Obama chose Biden and Biden chose her. Well,
(03:17):
where do you find somebody worse than Kamala Harris? At
this It's walls right, Shapiro would have immediately outshined her.
People would have immediately said that guy's a whole lot
smarter and that guy's a whole lot better, and I
wish that guy was the nominee, right, And the same
(03:38):
thing with Kelly now, Kelly not as strong as Shapiro,
but a whole lot stronger than Walls. So Harris, with
her insecurity, had to go choose some guy who nobody
would say that guy's better than her, and nobody would
say I'd rather have him than her. Now, wait a second,
I understand they may still end up saying that just
(04:00):
because she is so bad at this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But wow, what a gift. And that's why I.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Think the Trump campaign, whether it was a president himself, whatever,
struck the perfect tone. When when the true social post
in response to this was simply in all caps, thank you,
thank you, that was the perfect tone.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
What a gift?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Eight five to five for zero five A two five
five text DA and five seven seven three nine. Now
I want to play some sound out of the gate
that confirms all of this, and this is sound from
the left, because listen, we could pull a thousand sound bites.
You would not be surprised by any of them, and
they'd all be accurate, you know, talking about why Walls
(04:43):
is so bad and revealing the full Walls from the right,
but it carries so much more weight when it comes
from the left, and it's such insight into the start
of the many, many, many problems she's going to have
within the Democratic Party itself. There is Van Jones on
CNN about this pick.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
There was a little risky though, Van, that she didn't
go with Shapirader kind of locked down Pennsylvania. Yes, David
Chowling were saying earlier, just because you pick him as
your running mate doesn't mean you automatically win Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
But I got to think it would have helped just
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Hey, listen that the Conservatives, the right wing, the Republicans,
they were chewing their fingernails down to the knuckle because
they were afraid of a Josh Shapiro. They were afraid
of a Mark Kelly. They're not as afraid of this
new government because they think they can define him well.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And Van Jones going very easy on him there, but
then he picks up the pace.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and you
know people don't want to talk about it. We got
to talk about it. On the one hand, you have
a lot of young people who are concerned about Gaza.
You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others
they had not felt seen by the Biden administration. You
started starting hearing that genocide Joe, that was building, that
was building, and so those folks needed to have a
(05:59):
candidate that they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish bigots out there, and there's some disquiet now and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So that's going to have to get worked out exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's a Van Jones saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They could have had Pennsylvania locked and they didn't do
it because the most qualified guy is Jewish. That's how crazy,
far left radical this modern Democratic Party has come. Not
your everyday Democrat, but how the people who own and
operate the party have become and think about it. It
(06:53):
is awful, it's evil, but it is just in the
sense that this anti Semitism is going to be one
of the big things that takes the Democratic Party down
here as it should.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So that was Van Jones saying it. And then listen
to this.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This is from MSNBC, And as you well know, MSNBC
doesn't have to do the analysis you're about to hear,
which is essentially telling you why, hey, you know, walls
may not help that much. They chose to do it.
Why do you think they chose to do it. They
chose to do it because they can see and you
(07:32):
know they'll go right back, obviously to shilling for the
Harris campaign in line for them. But today they're off balanced,
they're rock that they can see the big mistake that
was made here.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Look at this.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
In twenty twelve, Barack Obama won forty three percent of
the vote in this county. It was only a little
bit more than ten points that he lost to Romney
by here. The floor fell out for Democrats here when
Trump came along in that Clinton race in twenty sixteen,
and they haven't recovered it since. And that Wall performance here,
it's a little less than Biden's number, it's more than Clinton's,
(08:04):
and it's a far cry from what Obama was doing here.
And again I'm showing you one. This is a stand
in for dozens of counties in Minnesota where you saw
the same thing with large rural populations, blue collar white
populations or Obama, and some of them he was winning.
Others he was holding his own. Just a dozen years ago.
This is where Democrats have lost grounds and walls.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
In twenty twenty two, he.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Didn't gain any ground, right, the Democrats had lost. He
didn't do that here, he didn't do that no other counties.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, So this is MSNBC. They're not talking like in
the lunch room. They're going out of their way to
tell America, wait a second, this pick is not going
to help with blue collar workers. It's not going to
help with blue collar white people. This pick is not
going to help there For those who are saying, well,
wait a second. Okay, he's a governor in Minnesota, so
(08:53):
he's going to help in the blue wall states, et cetera.
You know, MSNBC is telling you that's not what happened
in Minnesota. And there's a reason it didn't happen in Minnesota.
And when I place some of this tim Walls sound
coming back, you know again, you're gonna be like me.
You're going to be saying thank you, thank you, thank
you for this enormous mistake by Kamala Harris. You'll want
(09:16):
to hear this sound and we'll also duck in live.
Harrison Walls are appearing together now live in Pennsylvania, and
we'll duck in and get a feel for that sound.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from our
progressing values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Think about that. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Trump campaign needs to raise two billion now because you've
got so many cuts, you run any one of them
on a loop in a swing state between now an
election day.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That should be enough.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Kamala Harris passes on Josh Shapiro and Mark Kelly.
For a guy who says, hey, one person's socialism is
another person's neighborhood, he can't be that dumb. He can't
be that dumb. No, the difference is with socialism, they
come and take it from you. If it's being a
good neighbor, you decide to give it to somebody. But
socialism is the government takes it from you and redistributes it.
(10:18):
So that's who she chooses. What does that tell you
about her? And that's one of the very best things
about the pick. The best thing about the pick is
it's not Josh Shapiro, and she hopefully burns off Pennsylvania.
She could have maybe locked up Pennsylvania. That's the best
thing about the pick. The other best thing about the
pick is think about what it says to America about
(10:38):
her and her judgment. I mean, this has been a
pure basement campaign. This makes Biden's twenty twenty campaign look
like he was above ground, pressing the flesh, talking to
anybody who wanted to talk to him. Twenty four to seven.
They've got her locked away because they know her and
they know they can't trust her to do anything unscripted.
(10:58):
So she has one decision to make, and this is
what she does. Man, And there is there is so
much about this guy that's gonna help the Trump campaign
and undermine her.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And we'll continue to get to that sound.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I do want to work in texts and calls, and
we'll start in Cheyenne, Wyoming with Jack.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You're on the Dan Kapla, so welcome, Dan.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I'm on my way. I'm only at Fort Loveton, so
I'll be there hour. Wonderful but listening to you on
my way and I like what you said about that
they always pick a vice president that is so much
beneath them, like Obama did. That's why he picked Biden,
and Biden picked Harris and all that. But I think
it's kind of a reverse verticality involved here. In other words,
(11:45):
they're going backwards to the poets. But and Kamela is
I think she represents rock bottom. I don't really think
she can find anything worse than herself, and if she does,
she's gonna have to turn over an awful lot of
rocks to find.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, but that's clearly she just didn't, thank you, Jack,
what Obama did before her and Biden did. They found
somebody so awful, so much worse than they were, nobody
would ever want the VP instead of them. And with her,
and this isn't minute as the pejorative, it's just factual.
With her, I don't know that they can find anybody
(12:22):
worse politically than her, anybody anywhere in a top tier.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Saying that Waltz is worse than her, but he's as
close to it as you can get. Now, this guy
can talk, make no mistake about it, and will drop
in when he starts talking because they're live now in Philadelphia.
The guy can talk. He's a great talker. He's a
funny guy. He always has this big smile. But there
is a reason you haven't heard of him before. Right,
(12:50):
It's not like he's broken out of Minnesota on the
national stage and he's permeated your consciousness the way maybe
a Shapiro or a Kelly has. The guy is a
wild eye lefty, but he's a good talker up on
the stage. And this is obviously subjective, but to me
just looks kind of clownish. I mean, even like the
two of them together, and he's just like this big
(13:11):
cheerleader type.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
They're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Whole politics of joy thing with him, you know, which
fine in Minnesota where he can get away with that
far left stuff with enough people in the urban areas.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
To win, he can do all that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Nationally, people aren't going to think it's so funny that
yeah socialism, Na, that's just being.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
A good neighbor. Or how about this with the open
southern border.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Hey, he's going to invest in a thirty foot ladder
factory so people can get over the wall.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
And I think seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks knowing that he's not going to
do anything. He talks about this wall, I always say,
let me know how hi it is. If it's twenty
five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's not how you stop this.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that's not going to bring a lot of joy
among the people are not already hardcore lefties, And there's
so much more there. So Wow, what a gift date
five five for zero five eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Texter Dan can't wait to hear the Minnesota governor's I'm
(14:15):
tough on crime speech That are to.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Go over like a lead balloon.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And we'll get to the sound of his wife talking
about leaving the windows open during the Minneapolis riots so
she could smell the burning tires.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
I would say, those first days, you know, when there
were riots, I could smell the burning tires, and that
was that was a very real thing. And I kept
the windows open for as long as I could because
I felt like that was such a touchstone of what
(14:50):
was what was happening.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Wow, you know, And and they want to call us weird.
And by the way, he came up with that. But
this just goes back to the reason they've adopted this
whole weird thing for Republicans is they know that that's
how so many people view Kamala Harris. And I think
once they get past the folksy good talker thing with
this guy and begin to learn more about him, it's
(15:13):
going to.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Go way beyond weird.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And you're also going to hear about military service by him, etc.
I haven't had time to research this, so I haven't
drawn any conclusions, but right now there are many many
reports out there on and off social media claiming and
again I've got to do my own research on it,
but claiming that it's a form of stolen velor claiming
that he had abandoned had abandoned his National Guard troop
(15:39):
just before they were deployed. So I want to do
my own research on that see if it's true. But
can there be any doubt Ryan that she made this pick.
She made this pick out of personal insecurity because she
knows Josh Shapiro on the ticket. Everybody's going to be saying,
why isn't that guy the nominee Mark Kelly on the ticket.
Plenty of people are going to be saying, WHI is
that that guy the nominee, both of Kelly and Shapiro.
(16:03):
Everybody's going to say, man, that guy is so much
smarter than she is. She made this pick out of insecurity.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
I think it's part that and there were a lot
of people, I believe within her ranks. They took Shapiro
right down to the finish line. As we know yesterday
in your conversation with Heidi Dan, this was down to
Walls and Shapiro. Kelly was out, and I think there
are smart minds within the Democratic Party that wanted to
go with Shapiro. But you said it earlier, the fact
that he's Jewish, You take that out of the equation.
(16:33):
Put everything else in the Shapiro columns. There's no comparison
between him and Walls. And the only other explanation what
you just said is that Harris didn't want somebody that
was going to outshine her. And if you would have
seen Dan the speech that Shapiro just gave prior to
this one, Yeah, he just did that.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
He just out shining.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I couldn't even hear it because I was walking
in a studio and I saw him up there. But
I know that look, and that's he had wanted everybody
to know she made a big mistake.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And you could tell even without hearing the sound that
he was lighting it up.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You really will.
Speaker 12 (17:03):
And he mentioned his faith too, which I was happy,
wow wow Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Absolutely. And by the way, and we'll do this right
after the break.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
This isn't just me saying that the Democrats did this,
that Harris did it, and the Democratic Party, not your
every day Democrat, but the powers it be. This was
done out of anti Semitism, that this was done to
appease the pro Hamas faction. And it also I mean
what other pick out there would have done more to
(17:30):
just confirm what we already know and what we've been
talking about. Kamala Harris's crazy, wacko wild far far far left,
so far away from the typical American and this will
just confirm it for people. So again, take the w
accept the gift, enjoy every minute of it, and when
we come back, for those who haven't heard it, I'll
(17:51):
play that Van Jones sound where he says it. He says,
we got a problem in this party. We got a
problem in this party with the pro Hamas faction. And
can you imagine and just savor it for a second.
Can you imagine all of the stomach aches with all
of the prominent Democrats, everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
In the media, etc.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
When they heard this selection and they thought, we could
have had Josh Shapiro, we could have had Pennsylvania, because
guess what, they can't win without Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're on the Dan Caplish Show.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and people
don't want to talk about it. We got to talk
about it. On the one hand, you have a lot
of young people who are concerned about Gaza. You have
a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have
not felt seen by the Biden administration. You star I
started hearing that genocide Joe, that was building, that was building,
and so those folks needed to have a candidate that
(18:50):
they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish figures out there, and there's some disquiet now and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
So that's gonna have to get worked out.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Van Jones he sees it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
This is madness, political malpractice. You could have had Josh Shapiro,
big step toward locking up Pennsylvania. You cannot win without Pennsylvania.
And she goes with this guy. Now we're about to
duck in live and you'll get to hear him. And
as I said earlier, he's a really good talker, and
that's going to be the first impression.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Boy, he's a really good talker.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And he talks about joy all the time, and he
seems so happy.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But then we get into well, why haven't you heard
about him before?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Why hasn't he broken out of Minnesota, And why hasn't
he done better in Minnesota with blue collar people and
white working people. And then as you learn more about him, it's, oh,
it's not so much to be joyful about.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from mark
progressing values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, all of a sudden, the joy starts to dim.
This guy's a fan of socialism and just calls it
being a good neighbor. And if you don't like socialism,
you're not a good neighbor. H not all of a
sudden starts to look more like a snake oil salesman
and a carnival barker. That nice guy I thought he was,
And then he says this, with our open borders, he's
(20:29):
going to buy a ladder factory so people come in
here illegally can get over the wall.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
And I think, seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks, knowing that he's not going to
do anything. He talks about this wall, I always say,
let me know how high it is. If it's twenty
five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's not how you stop this. Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
So Ryan, let's stuck in and then we'll go to MSNBC,
which did a report on the fact that wait a second,
in Minnesota, where he won, he did worse among working
people in white working people. Then Obama did.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And tried to instill in my students. I took it
to Congress and to.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
The state capitol and now Vice President Harris and I
are running to take those very values.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
To the White House. Yeah, that's worth getting rid of.
Jos Shapiro right there right and Mark Kelly. He cares
about Arizona. Who cares about Pennsylvania? We want Minnesota.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us.
First of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service.
He doesn't have time for it because he's too busy
serving himself again and again and again. Trump weakens our
(21:55):
economy to strengthened his own hand. He mocks our laws,
he says chaos and division. And that's to say nothing
of his record as president. He froze in the face
of the COVID crisis. He drove our economy into the ground.
(22:21):
And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald
rum it.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Let's go to this sound here. Do you think any
of that's going to work? Any of that's Donald Trump?
No public service. The guy who took out SOLA money
and put a target on his back by doing it
that a run is still trying to execute him over
the guy who just took a bullet for democracy, The
guy who gave this country during his rule, gave this
country peace and prosperity.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That that stuff that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
May work in uber liberal Minnesota cities. You think that's
going to work in the middle now, and then listen.
I haven't had a chance to vet all of this,
so I don't know if this guy's service record is
weak or strong. But there are people out there, including
people who served with him, who are very, very critical
(23:09):
of him.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
This report is from Alpha News Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Let's see what they have to say. The public needs.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
To know how pathetic his leadership was as a National
Guardsman on a one.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Hundred and fifty year old farm, and brewster Tom Barns
hopes his tell it like it is style will finally
get the attention he believes it deserves in Minnesota's race
for governor. In a way, he's back again to wage
a public war of words against him.
Speaker 13 (23:36):
Walls he abandoned us, you know, I mean, what the
hell kind of leader does that? I mean, he just
as soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he
turned and ran the other way and hung his hat.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Up and quit.
Speaker 14 (23:47):
We'll get to Baron's new message for voters in a moment,
but this all starts years earlier, when Baron says Wall's
misleading statements about his military service first led him to
come forward in the fall of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, so I'll dig in. I'll do my research on
this vettic. But there are a lot of published reports
right now, including in the New York Post, with this
claim that Walls had and as I understand the story,
Ryan correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Is I understand the published.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Reports, the claim is that Walls had been leader of
this National Guard troop and had when the troop got
deployed to a rock, he had dropped out and had
dropped out of the National Guard at that point. That's
how I understand the claim. I've still got to independently
research it and verify it. I mean, the guy was
just this big, big mistake was just announced today.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So well, there's still a lot of work to be
done here, just to up tell a little bit.
Speaker 12 (24:38):
And there are details in that entire package that you
have there and the listeners.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Can find out for themselves.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
In the reporting of Liz Colin for Alphin News Minnesota,
but the guy accusing him, Tom Barns, of Stolen Veilor,
says that he did not retire as a command sergeant
Major and yet he listed that rank in a lot
of his campaign materials on his website, et cetera. And
in the aftermath of that, Dan had to rescind that
rank and then they reassigned it to the proper lower rank.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
But Walls was.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Running on that and using that to his political advantage.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And we'll investigate all of that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But there is so much I think that is going
to hurt the Democrats in Kamala Harris about him and
his recardness, statements that there will be no lack, no
lack of opportunity.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How many people are at that rally A lot. Listen,
she is going to draw crowds, there is no question
about that. Hillary Clinton drew big crowds. She is going
to draw crowds. And yeah, that's the way it is. Hey,
you know, Trump had already beaten Biden, just beat him
a little too early, and Biden couldn't draw crowds because
there wasn't that enthusiasm for him. There is a lot
(25:47):
of enthusiasm for her, or, to be more precise, for.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
The idea of her right.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I mean among those in the Democratic Party, including young people,
there's a lot of enthusiasm just for somebody younger. There,
there's a lot of enthusiasm for somebody far, far left.
And that's one thing you have to ask yourself here
is is this a direct, blatant play? Is this an
(26:14):
effort to turn America turn this into the clearest possible
choice election between socialism and democracy? They and socialism in
a democratic republic? Of course they would never say that,
but is that what's really going on here is that
the dog whistle with this pick, is that Kamala Harris
saying to all of the people on the left out there,
(26:35):
including young people, And it certainly isn't all young people. Yeah, yeah,
we want to go full incomery distribution. We want to
go full socialist. Is that the play here?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Eight?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Five five or is there a five eight two five
to five? But yeah, expect her to have big crowds. Now,
how long will that last? Will that last after her
numbers start to fall? Will that last when we get
to the point where it looks like she's going to lose?
But yeah, right now, that enthusiasm momentum is there. That's
one reason I was so grateful and so happy this
(27:07):
morning when I saw this big mistake by her, because
she has this momentum right now. Yeah, I believe it's
a sugar high, but she has this momentum, and this
is the sort of thing that can begin to turn
that around. It was going to begin to turn around eventually,
but this is the sort of thing that can make
that turnaround sooner. Eight f five forour zero five A
(27:28):
two five five TEXTDA N five seven seven three nine
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
This is MSNBC. You're gonna hear.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
They decided to run this story. They decided to use
their top polster to make the point that Walls has
not been effective with working people. He's not been effective
with white working class people. So why do you think
MSNBC wanted to get out there and make that point?
(27:55):
Today you're on the Dan Kapli Show.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
And now to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from our
progressive values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborlyness.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's her VP pick my goodness, openly supporting socialism.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But Wade, he gets better. Hey, the open borders.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
No, I'm going to open a ladder factory so I
can help everybody get over that wall.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
And I think seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks knowing that he's not going to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He talks about this wall. I always say, let me
know how hi it is.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
It's twenty five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty
foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's not how you stop this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Wow, what a gift and I have to tell you,
and you'll see it for yourself and get your own
take if you watch the video of it. We ducked
in for a little sound. Okay, So Harrison Walls just
did their first thing together in Philadelphia, and Ryan, you
were watching as well as I was during the break
and during the segment, here's I take on it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
As I said before, Walls can talk. I mean he's
a good talker, Okay, But people know from life good
talkers fall into a lot of different categories. Some good
talkers are just really smart, wise people who have this
gift and they use it to lead people in the
right direction, and those are some of the great American
heroes from both parties over the history of this country.
(29:24):
Other good talkers are snake oil salesman and Carnival Barkers,
and I think America is very quickly going to put
him in that second category. I think Americans are going
to come to see him that way. Not all Listen,
the hardcore lefties, they're going to love this guy. He's
nirvana for them. But the people in the middle, it's
just like MSNBC and you tell me, why did they
(29:46):
decide to do this.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
MSNBC on the.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Day the Wall's pick is announced, decides to put their
lead poster out there to say, wait a second, he
doesn't help you. He doesn't help you with white working
pece people. He doesn't help you with blue collar people. Obviously,
the reason they ran the report you're about to hear
is is there saying why did you pick him?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Look at this.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
In twenty twelve, Barack Obama won forty three percent of
the vote in this county.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
It was only a little bit more than.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Ten points that he lost to Romney by here. The
floor fell out for Democrats here when Trump came along
in that Clinton race in twenty sixteen, and they haven't
recovered it since. And that Wall's performance here, it's a
little less than Biden's number, it's more than Clinton's, and
it's a far cry from what Obama was doing here,
and again I'm showing you one. This is a stand
(30:36):
in for dozens of counties in Minnesota where you saw
the same thing with large rural populations, blue collar white populations,
where Obama and some of them he was winning, others
he was holding his own just a dozen years ago.
This is where Democrats have lost grounds and walls. In
twenty twenty two, he didn't gain any grounds that the
Democrats had lost.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
He didn't do that here, he didn't do that in
no other counties.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And so their point is, don't expect him to help
you with white working people in Wisconsin who are going
to decide this election, or in Michigan, or in Pennsylvania.
So clearly MSNBC is running this to say, why, why, why,
Kamala did you do this to us? You could have
had Shapiro.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
So it's the suburban areas, the metropolitan areas that have
gotten much more blue, and Walls performed just like Biden
did better than Clinton did. And in places like this,
and then in the rest of Greater Minnesota, small town Minnesota,
where the Democrats have been losing ground, Walls performed basically
just like Biden did as well. So you know, look
(31:39):
at his electoral history Tim Walls is in twenty twenty two,
and the idea that he's got this automatic appeal with
these small town areas in those three key battleground states,
you don't see it in what he actually did on
the ballot in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And it's got to fill you with such joy to
use their new code words. So why did MSNBC run
that segment? Are they trying to run him out of
the race. They didn't run this segment two days ago
trying to shape the pick because everybody with the brain
knew that Josh Shapiro is the pick who would do
(32:14):
the most to help them win. But again, Kamala Harris,
just like Obama before her, Biden before her, they all
wanted a VP who is so much worse than they
are that nobody would ever want the backup quarterback. Instead,
they wanted a VP so much worse than they are.
It made them look better. That's what she wanted to
and that's hard to find, but she came as close
(32:36):
as she could.
Speaker 12 (32:37):
It's interesting too, Dan as I was perusing through the
audio and the reviews from the leftist media and you
have a portion of it. Van Jones, who we always
know is an honest broker. He's going to tell you
exactly what he thinks and feels, and nobody's telling him
what to say.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
But even Jim Acosta in.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
The lead into that, was pondering why did they not
pick Shapiro to shore up Pennsylvania? Could have put that
slam dunk and Joe Scarborough this morning Dan was asking
the same question of why would you not take Shapiro here?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So do you think they ran that to try to
run him out of the race? Do you think they're
trying to run him out of the race before the convention?
Because if, as we've been talking about on this show, right,
once her number's peak, and they'll probably still go up
a little bit, but this should help to start to
slow down that momentum once her number's peak and start
coming back down. What's going to stop that fall? This
(33:26):
is a sugar high right now, everybody's had a sugar high.
What's going to stop that fall? Yeah, and that's why
she wants. She wants to debate Trump all the time,
hoping to interrupt that fall. But do you think MSNBC
is trying to position now to get him out by
the convention if her numbers are dropping, because everybody knows
(33:50):
and Shapiro, and we'll play this sound for you right
after the upcoming news break, Shapiro had something to prove, right, Ryan,
I'm sure you've never had a young lady break up
with you, But if you had ever had had that,
what you would have immediately done. You would have gone
out to the gym. You would have worked hard every day,
you know, you would have gotten your best possible shape.
You would have wanted to show her what she was
(34:10):
missing and everybody else what she was missing. Josh Shapiro
gave a post breakup gave a post breakup speech today
where he wanted to show her what she was missing.
He wanted to show the whole Democratic Party that they
had just blown it by not picking him. And we'll
play that. Let's call it five oh six. It's one
(34:32):
of the greatest performances I'd ever seen. And if she
had picked Shapiro and that speech was coming out party
tonight rather than this sixty year old far left socialist
praising Carnival Barker, you know right now now, there'd be
a lot of knots and a lot of stomachs, so
we'll play that Shapiro sound and we'll get to all
(34:54):
of our text, well, deep dive the text as well,
at five oh six on The Dan Caplis Show
This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dankplas 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. Oh my goodness,
this is why Kamala Harris went from first to worst
in a stunningly short amount of time in twenty twenty. Right, Remember,
(00:23):
she was on top. I know, it seems like a
lifetime ago. She was on top, gave her announcement addressed
to over fifteen, maybe twenty thousand people in Oakland. She
was right at the top of the polls. She was
raising a lot of money, and in just a matter
of months she creted, She crated, and her staff was
leaving her and she had to drop out two months
(00:44):
before Iowa. And this is why, what horrific judgment, I mean,
what could have possessed her? How in the world does
she pass on Josh Shapiro a real chance to sew
up Pennsylvania? How does she pass on Josh Shapiro for
this Minnesota governor? Minnesota isn't even a swing state. And
(01:08):
in the meantime, she humiliates Shapiro. She has to alienate
an awful lot of Pennsylvanians because Shapiro, he was right
out there up front. He was trying to grovel and backtrack,
you know, on earlier statements he had made about Palestinians.
He was doing everything that he could. So she humiliates
the most qualified candidate and alienates the people of his
(01:32):
state in the process of unimaginably rejecting him in favor
of Waltz, and then at the same time does the
same thing to Arizona. She brings, she brings Mark Kelly
into the discussion and has him up there as one
of the top three, only to then reject him.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
And listen, it's one thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know, to get rejected for a superstar, to get
rejected for Walls. So she burns off Shapiro, burns off
and embarrasses Shapiro, and she burns off and embarrasses Kelly,
alienates people, including Democrats in both of those states for
this guy. And I'll tell you exactly why she did it,
(02:14):
exactly why she did it. And this is what has
made her one of the least popular vice presidents ever
and has undermined her in that first presidential run is
just the stunning lack of judgment and the profound insecurity.
And you see this in published reports, you know, published
(02:34):
reports about how she's so insecure when she's going to
meet with this group of big donors out in Hollywood,
that she has her staff stage this mock dinner so
she can practice for it and then ends up canceling
it anyway over anxiety. That was one published report. But
my goodness, I think what it came down to, and
(02:54):
we had talked about it on this show yesterday. I
think what it came down to is just like Obama
before her and Biden before her, these Democrats, they're looking
for a VP who is so much worse than they
are that nobody will want that person instead of getting
That's why Obama chose Biden and Biden chose her. Well,
(03:17):
where do you find somebody worse than Kamala Harris? At
this It's walls right, Shapiro would have immediately outshined her.
People would have immediately said that guy's a whole lot
smarter and that guy's a whole lot better, and I
wish that guy was the nominee, right, And the same
(03:38):
thing with Kelly now, Kelly not as strong as Shapiro,
but a whole lot stronger than Walls. So Harris, with
her insecurity, had to go choose some guy who nobody
would say that guy's better than her, and nobody would
say I'd rather have him than her. Now, wait a second,
I understand they may still end up saying that just
(04:00):
because she is so bad at this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But wow, what a gift. And that's why I.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Think the Trump campaign, whether it was a president himself, whatever,
struck the perfect tone. When when the true social post
in response to this was simply in all caps, thank you,
thank you, that was the perfect tone.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
What a gift?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Eight five to five for zero five A two five
five text DA and five seven seven three nine. Now
I want to play some sound out of the gate
that confirms all of this, and this is sound from
the left, because listen, we could pull a thousand sound bites.
You would not be surprised by any of them, and
they'd all be accurate, you know, talking about why Walls
(04:43):
is so bad and revealing the full Walls from the right,
but it carries so much more weight when it comes
from the left, and it's such insight into the start
of the many, many, many problems she's going to have
within the Democratic Party itself. There is Van Jones on
CNN about this pick.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
There was a little risky though, Van, that she didn't
go with Shapirader kind of locked down Pennsylvania. Yes, David
Chowling were saying earlier, just because you pick him as
your running mate doesn't mean you automatically win Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
But I got to think it would have helped just
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Hey, listen that the Conservatives, the right wing, the Republicans,
they were chewing their fingernails down to the knuckle because
they were afraid of a Josh Shapiro. They were afraid
of a Mark Kelly. They're not as afraid of this
new government because they think they can define him well.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And Van Jones going very easy on him there, but
then he picks up the pace.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and you
know people don't want to talk about it. We got
to talk about it. On the one hand, you have
a lot of young people who are concerned about Gaza.
You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others
they had not felt seen by the Biden administration. You
started starting hearing that genocide Joe, that was building, that
was building, and so those folks needed to have a
(05:59):
candidate that they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish bigots out there, and there's some disquiet now and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So that's going to have to get worked out exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's a Van Jones saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They could have had Pennsylvania locked and they didn't do
it because the most qualified guy is Jewish. That's how crazy,
far left radical this modern Democratic Party has come. Not
your everyday Democrat, but how the people who own and
operate the party have become and think about it. It
(06:53):
is awful, it's evil, but it is just in the
sense that this anti Semitism is going to be one
of the big things that takes the Democratic Party down
here as it should.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So that was Van Jones saying it. And then listen
to this.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This is from MSNBC, And as you well know, MSNBC
doesn't have to do the analysis you're about to hear,
which is essentially telling you why, hey, you know, walls
may not help that much. They chose to do it.
Why do you think they chose to do it. They
chose to do it because they can see and you
(07:32):
know they'll go right back, obviously to shilling for the
Harris campaign in line for them. But today they're off balanced,
they're rock that they can see the big mistake that
was made here.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Look at this.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
In twenty twelve, Barack Obama won forty three percent of
the vote in this county. It was only a little
bit more than ten points that he lost to Romney
by here. The floor fell out for Democrats here when
Trump came along in that Clinton race in twenty sixteen,
and they haven't recovered it since. And that Wall performance here,
it's a little less than Biden's number, it's more than Clinton's,
(08:04):
and it's a far cry from what Obama was doing here.
And again I'm showing you one. This is a stand
in for dozens of counties in Minnesota where you saw
the same thing with large rural populations, blue collar white
populations or Obama, and some of them he was winning.
Others he was holding his own. Just a dozen years ago.
This is where Democrats have lost grounds and walls.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
In twenty twenty two, he.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Didn't gain any ground, right, the Democrats had lost. He
didn't do that here, he didn't do that no other counties.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, So this is MSNBC. They're not talking like in
the lunch room. They're going out of their way to
tell America, wait a second, this pick is not going
to help with blue collar workers. It's not going to
help with blue collar white people. This pick is not
going to help there For those who are saying, well,
wait a second. Okay, he's a governor in Minnesota, so
(08:53):
he's going to help in the blue wall states, et cetera.
You know, MSNBC is telling you that's not what happened
in Minnesota. And there's a reason it didn't happen in Minnesota.
And when I place some of this tim Walls sound
coming back, you know again, you're gonna be like me.
You're going to be saying thank you, thank you, thank
you for this enormous mistake by Kamala Harris. You'll want
(09:16):
to hear this sound and we'll also duck in live.
Harrison Walls are appearing together now live in Pennsylvania, and
we'll duck in and get a feel for that sound.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from our
progressing values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Think about that. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Trump campaign needs to raise two billion now because you've
got so many cuts, you run any one of them
on a loop in a swing state between now an
election day.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That should be enough.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Kamala Harris passes on Josh Shapiro and Mark Kelly.
For a guy who says, hey, one person's socialism is
another person's neighborhood, he can't be that dumb. He can't
be that dumb. No, the difference is with socialism, they
come and take it from you. If it's being a
good neighbor, you decide to give it to somebody. But
socialism is the government takes it from you and redistributes it.
(10:18):
So that's who she chooses. What does that tell you
about her? And that's one of the very best things
about the pick. The best thing about the pick is
it's not Josh Shapiro, and she hopefully burns off Pennsylvania.
She could have maybe locked up Pennsylvania. That's the best
thing about the pick. The other best thing about the
pick is think about what it says to America about
(10:38):
her and her judgment. I mean, this has been a
pure basement campaign. This makes Biden's twenty twenty campaign look
like he was above ground, pressing the flesh, talking to
anybody who wanted to talk to him. Twenty four to seven.
They've got her locked away because they know her and
they know they can't trust her to do anything unscripted.
(10:58):
So she has one decision to make, and this is
what she does. Man, And there is there is so
much about this guy that's gonna help the Trump campaign
and undermine her.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And we'll continue to get to that sound.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I do want to work in texts and calls, and
we'll start in Cheyenne, Wyoming with Jack.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You're on the Dan Kapla, so welcome, Dan.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I'm on my way. I'm only at Fort Loveton, so
I'll be there hour. Wonderful but listening to you on
my way and I like what you said about that
they always pick a vice president that is so much
beneath them, like Obama did. That's why he picked Biden,
and Biden picked Harris and all that. But I think
it's kind of a reverse verticality involved here. In other words,
(11:45):
they're going backwards to the poets. But and Kamela is
I think she represents rock bottom. I don't really think
she can find anything worse than herself, and if she does,
she's gonna have to turn over an awful lot of
rocks to find.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, but that's clearly she just didn't, thank you, Jack,
what Obama did before her and Biden did. They found
somebody so awful, so much worse than they were, nobody
would ever want the VP instead of them. And with her,
and this isn't minute as the pejorative, it's just factual.
With her, I don't know that they can find anybody
(12:22):
worse politically than her, anybody anywhere in a top tier.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Saying that Waltz is worse than her, but he's as
close to it as you can get. Now, this guy
can talk, make no mistake about it, and will drop
in when he starts talking because they're live now in Philadelphia.
The guy can talk. He's a great talker. He's a
funny guy. He always has this big smile. But there
is a reason you haven't heard of him before. Right,
(12:50):
It's not like he's broken out of Minnesota on the
national stage and he's permeated your consciousness the way maybe
a Shapiro or a Kelly has. The guy is a
wild eye lefty, but he's a good talker up on
the stage. And this is obviously subjective, but to me
just looks kind of clownish. I mean, even like the
two of them together, and he's just like this big
(13:11):
cheerleader type.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
They're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Whole politics of joy thing with him, you know, which
fine in Minnesota where he can get away with that
far left stuff with enough people in the urban areas.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
To win, he can do all that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Nationally, people aren't going to think it's so funny that
yeah socialism, Na, that's just being.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
A good neighbor. Or how about this with the open
southern border.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Hey, he's going to invest in a thirty foot ladder
factory so people can get over the wall.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
And I think seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks knowing that he's not going to
do anything. He talks about this wall, I always say,
let me know how hi it is. If it's twenty
five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's not how you stop this.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that's not going to bring a lot of joy
among the people are not already hardcore lefties, And there's
so much more there. So Wow, what a gift date
five five for zero five eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Texter Dan can't wait to hear the Minnesota governor's I'm
(14:15):
tough on crime speech That are to.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Go over like a lead balloon.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And we'll get to the sound of his wife talking
about leaving the windows open during the Minneapolis riots so
she could smell the burning tires.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
I would say, those first days, you know, when there
were riots, I could smell the burning tires, and that
was that was a very real thing. And I kept
the windows open for as long as I could because
I felt like that was such a touchstone of what
(14:50):
was what was happening.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Wow, you know, And and they want to call us weird.
And by the way, he came up with that. But
this just goes back to the reason they've adopted this
whole weird thing for Republicans is they know that that's
how so many people view Kamala Harris. And I think
once they get past the folksy good talker thing with
this guy and begin to learn more about him, it's
(15:13):
going to.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Go way beyond weird.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And you're also going to hear about military service by him, etc.
I haven't had time to research this, so I haven't
drawn any conclusions, but right now there are many many
reports out there on and off social media claiming and
again I've got to do my own research on it,
but claiming that it's a form of stolen velor claiming
that he had abandoned had abandoned his National Guard troop
(15:39):
just before they were deployed. So I want to do
my own research on that see if it's true. But
can there be any doubt Ryan that she made this pick.
She made this pick out of personal insecurity because she
knows Josh Shapiro on the ticket. Everybody's going to be saying,
why isn't that guy the nominee Mark Kelly on the ticket.
Plenty of people are going to be saying, WHI is
that that guy the nominee, both of Kelly and Shapiro.
(16:03):
Everybody's going to say, man, that guy is so much
smarter than she is. She made this pick out of insecurity.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
I think it's part that and there were a lot
of people, I believe within her ranks. They took Shapiro
right down to the finish line. As we know yesterday
in your conversation with Heidi Dan, this was down to
Walls and Shapiro. Kelly was out, and I think there
are smart minds within the Democratic Party that wanted to
go with Shapiro. But you said it earlier, the fact
that he's Jewish, You take that out of the equation.
(16:33):
Put everything else in the Shapiro columns. There's no comparison
between him and Walls. And the only other explanation what
you just said is that Harris didn't want somebody that
was going to outshine her. And if you would have
seen Dan the speech that Shapiro just gave prior to
this one, Yeah, he just did that.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
He just out shining.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I couldn't even hear it because I was walking
in a studio and I saw him up there. But
I know that look, and that's he had wanted everybody
to know she made a big mistake.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And you could tell even without hearing the sound that
he was lighting it up.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You really will.
Speaker 12 (17:03):
And he mentioned his faith too, which I was happy,
wow wow Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Absolutely. And by the way, and we'll do this right
after the break.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
This isn't just me saying that the Democrats did this,
that Harris did it, and the Democratic Party, not your
every day Democrat, but the powers it be. This was
done out of anti Semitism, that this was done to
appease the pro Hamas faction. And it also I mean
what other pick out there would have done more to
(17:30):
just confirm what we already know and what we've been
talking about. Kamala Harris's crazy, wacko wild far far far left,
so far away from the typical American and this will
just confirm it for people. So again, take the w
accept the gift, enjoy every minute of it, and when
we come back, for those who haven't heard it, I'll
(17:51):
play that Van Jones sound where he says it. He says,
we got a problem in this party. We got a
problem in this party with the pro Hamas faction. And
can you imagine and just savor it for a second.
Can you imagine all of the stomach aches with all
of the prominent Democrats, everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
In the media, etc.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
When they heard this selection and they thought, we could
have had Josh Shapiro, we could have had Pennsylvania, because
guess what, they can't win without Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're on the Dan Caplish Show.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and people
don't want to talk about it. We got to talk
about it. On the one hand, you have a lot
of young people who are concerned about Gaza. You have
a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have
not felt seen by the Biden administration. You star I
started hearing that genocide Joe, that was building, that was building,
and so those folks needed to have a candidate that
(18:50):
they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish figures out there, and there's some disquiet now and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
So that's gonna have to get worked out.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Van Jones he sees it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
This is madness, political malpractice. You could have had Josh Shapiro,
big step toward locking up Pennsylvania. You cannot win without Pennsylvania.
And she goes with this guy. Now we're about to
duck in live and you'll get to hear him. And
as I said earlier, he's a really good talker, and
that's going to be the first impression.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Boy, he's a really good talker.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And he talks about joy all the time, and he
seems so happy.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But then we get into well, why haven't you heard
about him before?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Why hasn't he broken out of Minnesota, And why hasn't
he done better in Minnesota with blue collar people and
white working people. And then as you learn more about him, it's, oh,
it's not so much to be joyful about.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from mark
progressing values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, all of a sudden, the joy starts to dim.
This guy's a fan of socialism and just calls it
being a good neighbor. And if you don't like socialism,
you're not a good neighbor. H not all of a
sudden starts to look more like a snake oil salesman
and a carnival barker. That nice guy I thought he was,
And then he says this, with our open borders, he's
(20:29):
going to buy a ladder factory so people come in
here illegally can get over the wall.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
And I think, seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks, knowing that he's not going to
do anything. He talks about this wall, I always say,
let me know how high it is. If it's twenty
five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's not how you stop this. Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
So Ryan, let's stuck in and then we'll go to MSNBC,
which did a report on the fact that wait a second,
in Minnesota, where he won, he did worse among working
people in white working people. Then Obama did.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And tried to instill in my students. I took it
to Congress and to.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
The state capitol and now Vice President Harris and I
are running to take those very values.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
To the White House. Yeah, that's worth getting rid of.
Jos Shapiro right there right and Mark Kelly. He cares
about Arizona. Who cares about Pennsylvania? We want Minnesota.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us.
First of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service.
He doesn't have time for it because he's too busy
serving himself again and again and again. Trump weakens our
(21:55):
economy to strengthened his own hand. He mocks our laws,
he says chaos and division. And that's to say nothing
of his record as president. He froze in the face
of the COVID crisis. He drove our economy into the ground.
(22:21):
And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald
rum it.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Let's go to this sound here. Do you think any
of that's going to work? Any of that's Donald Trump?
No public service. The guy who took out SOLA money
and put a target on his back by doing it
that a run is still trying to execute him over
the guy who just took a bullet for democracy, The
guy who gave this country during his rule, gave this
country peace and prosperity.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That that stuff that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
May work in uber liberal Minnesota cities. You think that's
going to work in the middle now, and then listen.
I haven't had a chance to vet all of this,
so I don't know if this guy's service record is
weak or strong. But there are people out there, including
people who served with him, who are very, very critical
(23:09):
of him.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
This report is from Alpha News Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Let's see what they have to say. The public needs.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
To know how pathetic his leadership was as a National
Guardsman on a one.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Hundred and fifty year old farm, and brewster Tom Barns
hopes his tell it like it is style will finally
get the attention he believes it deserves in Minnesota's race
for governor. In a way, he's back again to wage
a public war of words against him.
Speaker 13 (23:36):
Walls he abandoned us, you know, I mean, what the
hell kind of leader does that? I mean, he just
as soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he
turned and ran the other way and hung his hat.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Up and quit.
Speaker 14 (23:47):
We'll get to Baron's new message for voters in a moment,
but this all starts years earlier, when Baron says Wall's
misleading statements about his military service first led him to
come forward in the fall of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, so I'll dig in. I'll do my research on
this vettic. But there are a lot of published reports
right now, including in the New York Post, with this
claim that Walls had and as I understand the story,
Ryan correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Is I understand the published.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Reports, the claim is that Walls had been leader of
this National Guard troop and had when the troop got
deployed to a rock, he had dropped out and had
dropped out of the National Guard at that point. That's
how I understand the claim. I've still got to independently
research it and verify it. I mean, the guy was
just this big, big mistake was just announced today.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So well, there's still a lot of work to be
done here, just to up tell a little bit.
Speaker 12 (24:38):
And there are details in that entire package that you
have there and the listeners.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Can find out for themselves.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
In the reporting of Liz Colin for Alphin News Minnesota,
but the guy accusing him, Tom Barns, of Stolen Veilor,
says that he did not retire as a command sergeant
Major and yet he listed that rank in a lot
of his campaign materials on his website, et cetera. And
in the aftermath of that, Dan had to rescind that
rank and then they reassigned it to the proper lower rank.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
But Walls was.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Running on that and using that to his political advantage.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And we'll investigate all of that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But there is so much I think that is going
to hurt the Democrats in Kamala Harris about him and
his recardness, statements that there will be no lack, no
lack of opportunity.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How many people are at that rally A lot. Listen,
she is going to draw crowds, there is no question
about that. Hillary Clinton drew big crowds. She is going
to draw crowds. And yeah, that's the way it is. Hey,
you know, Trump had already beaten Biden, just beat him
a little too early, and Biden couldn't draw crowds because
there wasn't that enthusiasm for him. There is a lot
(25:47):
of enthusiasm for her, or, to be more precise, for.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
The idea of her right.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I mean among those in the Democratic Party, including young people,
there's a lot of enthusiasm just for somebody younger. There,
there's a lot of enthusiasm for somebody far, far left.
And that's one thing you have to ask yourself here
is is this a direct, blatant play? Is this an
(26:14):
effort to turn America turn this into the clearest possible
choice election between socialism and democracy? They and socialism in
a democratic republic? Of course they would never say that,
but is that what's really going on here is that
the dog whistle with this pick, is that Kamala Harris
saying to all of the people on the left out there,
(26:35):
including young people, And it certainly isn't all young people. Yeah, yeah,
we want to go full incomery distribution. We want to
go full socialist. Is that the play here?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Eight?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Five five or is there a five eight two five
to five? But yeah, expect her to have big crowds. Now,
how long will that last? Will that last after her
numbers start to fall? Will that last when we get
to the point where it looks like she's going to lose?
But yeah, right now, that enthusiasm momentum is there. That's
one reason I was so grateful and so happy this
(27:07):
morning when I saw this big mistake by her, because
she has this momentum right now. Yeah, I believe it's
a sugar high, but she has this momentum, and this
is the sort of thing that can begin to turn
that around. It was going to begin to turn around eventually,
but this is the sort of thing that can make
that turnaround sooner. Eight f five forour zero five A
(27:28):
two five five TEXTDA N five seven seven three nine
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
This is MSNBC. You're gonna hear.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
They decided to run this story. They decided to use
their top polster to make the point that Walls has
not been effective with working people. He's not been effective
with white working class people. So why do you think
MSNBC wanted to get out there and make that point?
(27:55):
Today you're on the Dan Kapli Show.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
And now to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
But we can get out there, reach out, make the case,
and for one thing, don't ever shy away from our
progressive values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborlyness.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's her VP pick my goodness, openly supporting socialism.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But Wade, he gets better. Hey, the open borders.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
No, I'm going to open a ladder factory so I
can help everybody get over that wall.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
And I think seeing a plan that's out there talking
about it with folks knowing that he's not going to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He talks about this wall. I always say, let me
know how hi it is.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
It's twenty five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty
foot ladder factory.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's not how you stop this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Wow, what a gift and I have to tell you,
and you'll see it for yourself and get your own
take if you watch the video of it. We ducked
in for a little sound. Okay, So Harrison Walls just
did their first thing together in Philadelphia, and Ryan, you
were watching as well as I was during the break
and during the segment, here's I take on it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
As I said before, Walls can talk. I mean he's
a good talker, Okay, But people know from life good
talkers fall into a lot of different categories. Some good
talkers are just really smart, wise people who have this
gift and they use it to lead people in the
right direction, and those are some of the great American
heroes from both parties over the history of this country.
(29:24):
Other good talkers are snake oil salesman and Carnival Barkers,
and I think America is very quickly going to put
him in that second category. I think Americans are going
to come to see him that way. Not all Listen,
the hardcore lefties, they're going to love this guy. He's
nirvana for them. But the people in the middle, it's
just like MSNBC and you tell me, why did they
(29:46):
decide to do this.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
MSNBC on the.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Day the Wall's pick is announced, decides to put their
lead poster out there to say, wait a second, he
doesn't help you. He doesn't help you with white working
pece people. He doesn't help you with blue collar people. Obviously,
the reason they ran the report you're about to hear
is is there saying why did you pick him?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Look at this.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
In twenty twelve, Barack Obama won forty three percent of
the vote in this county.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
It was only a little bit more than.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Ten points that he lost to Romney by here. The
floor fell out for Democrats here when Trump came along
in that Clinton race in twenty sixteen, and they haven't
recovered it since. And that Wall's performance here, it's a
little less than Biden's number, it's more than Clinton's, and
it's a far cry from what Obama was doing here,
and again I'm showing you one. This is a stand
(30:36):
in for dozens of counties in Minnesota where you saw
the same thing with large rural populations, blue collar white populations,
where Obama and some of them he was winning, others
he was holding his own just a dozen years ago.
This is where Democrats have lost grounds and walls. In
twenty twenty two, he didn't gain any grounds that the
Democrats had lost.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
He didn't do that here, he didn't do that in
no other counties.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And so their point is, don't expect him to help
you with white working people in Wisconsin who are going
to decide this election, or in Michigan, or in Pennsylvania.
So clearly MSNBC is running this to say, why, why, why,
Kamala did you do this to us? You could have
had Shapiro.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
So it's the suburban areas, the metropolitan areas that have
gotten much more blue, and Walls performed just like Biden
did better than Clinton did. And in places like this,
and then in the rest of Greater Minnesota, small town Minnesota,
where the Democrats have been losing ground, Walls performed basically
just like Biden did as well. So you know, look
(31:39):
at his electoral history Tim Walls is in twenty twenty two,
and the idea that he's got this automatic appeal with
these small town areas in those three key battleground states,
you don't see it in what he actually did on
the ballot in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And it's got to fill you with such joy to
use their new code words. So why did MSNBC run
that segment? Are they trying to run him out of
the race. They didn't run this segment two days ago
trying to shape the pick because everybody with the brain
knew that Josh Shapiro is the pick who would do
(32:14):
the most to help them win. But again, Kamala Harris,
just like Obama before her, Biden before her, they all
wanted a VP who is so much worse than they
are that nobody would ever want the backup quarterback. Instead,
they wanted a VP so much worse than they are.
It made them look better. That's what she wanted to
and that's hard to find, but she came as close
(32:36):
as she could.
Speaker 12 (32:37):
It's interesting too, Dan as I was perusing through the
audio and the reviews from the leftist media and you
have a portion of it. Van Jones, who we always
know is an honest broker. He's going to tell you
exactly what he thinks and feels, and nobody's telling him
what to say.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
But even Jim Acosta in.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
The lead into that, was pondering why did they not
pick Shapiro to shore up Pennsylvania? Could have put that
slam dunk and Joe Scarborough this morning Dan was asking
the same question of why would you not take Shapiro here?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So do you think they ran that to try to
run him out of the race? Do you think they're
trying to run him out of the race before the convention?
Because if, as we've been talking about on this show, right,
once her number's peak, and they'll probably still go up
a little bit, but this should help to start to
slow down that momentum once her number's peak and start
coming back down. What's going to stop that fall? This
(33:26):
is a sugar high right now, everybody's had a sugar high.
What's going to stop that fall? Yeah, and that's why
she wants. She wants to debate Trump all the time,
hoping to interrupt that fall. But do you think MSNBC
is trying to position now to get him out by
the convention if her numbers are dropping, because everybody knows
(33:50):
and Shapiro, and we'll play this sound for you right
after the upcoming news break, Shapiro had something to prove, right, Ryan,
I'm sure you've never had a young lady break up
with you, But if you had ever had had that,
what you would have immediately done. You would have gone
out to the gym. You would have worked hard every day,
you know, you would have gotten your best possible shape.
You would have wanted to show her what she was
(34:10):
missing and everybody else what she was missing. Josh Shapiro
gave a post breakup gave a post breakup speech today
where he wanted to show her what she was missing.
He wanted to show the whole Democratic Party that they
had just blown it by not picking him. And we'll
play that. Let's call it five oh six. It's one
(34:32):
of the greatest performances I'd ever seen. And if she
had picked Shapiro and that speech was coming out party
tonight rather than this sixty year old far left socialist
praising Carnival Barker, you know right now now, there'd be
a lot of knots and a lot of stomachs, so
we'll play that Shapiro sound and we'll get to all
(34:54):
of our text, well, deep dive the text as well,
at five oh six on The Dan Caplis Show
