Meanwhile, in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump holds court in a free-wheeling and fiery one hour press conference in which he attempted to reset the tone, tenor, and focus of the race on the Vice-President's suspect policies, aptitude, and qualifications.

now just openly, just openly acknowledging that they're running a
(00:20):
basement campaign. They're hiding earth, They're going to hide her
as much as possible, and just betting the American people
won't care, won't mind, and it'll all pay off for them.

So much fun stuff today, starting with Heidig and all
into co host. We always enjoy that. Thank you, Heidi,
(00:42):
Appreciate you being here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Happy to be here, Dan. There's a lot going on
in the world to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The board, and let's start with what I alluded to
off the top, which is okay. So President Trump today
comes out, We got all the sound, obviously, and he
challenges her now to three debates, after saying he would
only do one on Fox, no further negotiations. You know,
she gave him the double middle finger and kind of
laughed at it, and so then, let's face it, he
(01:08):
folds on that and now challenges her two three accepts
one the ABC debate that she initially said she would accept.
What do you make of all that?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean, we've got to get her on stage, We've
got to get her on the record, and I believe
Trump will do well with her on the stage. So
the more debates the better. But it's incredible that they
squawked so much about how Trump was ducking the debates
and then he offers up three today and she barely
commits to one. And then it was funny I saw
in one of the clips that she did it answer
(01:40):
a couple questions with the journalists today, and one of
the questions was when are you going to do a
long interview or when are you going to talk to
Somebody said, oh, we're working on planning one sit down
interview by the end of the month.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
See that's what I mean by not even trying to
hide it. And they're just betting the American people won't
care and will they? You tell me, is this going
to cost her electorally? Because on the debates at this point,
I mean, she's doing what you would advise her to
do if you were with her campaign out there claiming victory.
Now Trump caved. He's finally agreed to the September ten
(02:13):
ABC debates she had proposed and he had refused. So
she's claiming victory on that, not agreeing at least at
this point to the other two debates he's proposed. So
do you think this is going to pay off for
just openly in the basement, staying away and I'm going
to beat him that way?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, it worked for Biden, didn't it. And the media
is complicit in this. They will cover her, We're ind
and support her doing this, which is just terrible, terrible,
It's very frustrating.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
See, I'm not so sure it's going to work for
in the end because I personally think, listen, you know
much more about this. You've run a good natorial campaign
all that stuff, But from everything I've seen, I think
right now, perception is separate from reality, and right now,
I think there's this contagion of enthusiasm which is enormous
(03:09):
and wide and deep in certain segments, primarily the base,
And I think you're seeing this shift as we predicted
in the polls. Everything else but I am not at
all convinced at this point that it's going to translate
come election day, because we all know right on election
day it's about it's about what people really believe as
(03:32):
opposed to what they're willing to tell a polster. And
I think you've got And of course it's about intensity
and commitment, and you've got to believe that there are
an awful lot of people right now who would tend
to favor Trump who would be reluctant to tell anybody that,
including a polster, fantasy or reality.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I hope you're right. I so hope you're right. I
tweeted out this morning the Frank Lentz latest polling, and
I don't always agree with him, but he did kind
of a comprehensive look at the pulling and said that
Kamala would be elected president today if the election were today,
And I said, what is going on? Why does half
of America not get how bad things are? And they
would actually vote for four more years of this? It
(04:12):
just blows me away. And all I can say is
that the media is complicit. The mainstream media supports this
and is part of the problem, and it drives me crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, and I think it brings us back to the debate,
and i'd say debates. I'd like for there to be debates,
but at this point, I don't think we can count
on more than the one. And I think right now
that the perception that, Okay, that's going to be Trump's
big opportunity because Kamala Harris is obviously so inept, and
she is, but in a controlled setting like that, with
(04:46):
ABC moderating and with the expectations so low for her,
I think it's almost a guaranteed w for her because
at first, you know, you're comparing it to Biden against Trump,
and compared to how Biden, you know she's going to
look like Einstein. Second, because it is ABC in control,
they're going to protect her, and she's going to play
(05:08):
not to lose. And so folks hoping for some big
knockout in this debate, I think that's completely unrealistic. I
think the great opportunity in the debate is for President
Trump because I think that right now, just like with
Biden in twenty right, I don't think there were five
people in the country voted for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, there
(05:30):
were just a little too many voted against President Trump,
and I think we're looking at the same thing here.
You've got, Yeah, this core enthusiastic part of the base
for Harris, But in order to get her over the top,
I think it's going to have to be people voting
against Trump. So I think it's on September ten, more
about Trump impressing than Harris collapsing.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I agree with you. I'm optimistic that people are going
to wake up to the reality of their pocketbook, that
it is the economy stupid, and that people are going
to be feeling tremendous pain. They already are, but obviously
not enough to vote differently. And I do think the
economy is going to be the key issue that people
vote on if they do end up voting for Donald Trump.
(06:14):
And you heard is his name Jim Kramer or one
of those guys that's very left say, if you're going
to vote, if you want to vote for your pocketbook,
you vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Right right. And my bet, Heidi, And that's why I
sitting here today. If I had bet my car, I
would bet it on Trump winning. And the reason for
that is, at the end of the day, big picture,
I just cannot believe that in the Swing States, because
that's all we're talking about right in those six states.
I cannot believe that people are going to choose a
(06:45):
San Francisco radical. And I understand that she's running a
basement campaign now, but she was around for three and
a half years, right, and there was a reason she
had I think, maybe the lowest approval of any VP
right in modern history. People get it is, in fact,
to San Francisco radical, and I just can't believe that
people are going to be willing to go there unless
(07:07):
President Trump does some things that make it just too
hard for people to vote for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We've got to hammer the border too, We've got to
talk about immigration. What's happening in Denver, what's happening in
most cities across the country. It's the border, it's the economy,
it's our kids. Our kids are not in a good
place right now.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, which brings us back to the debate, right because
she is going to run this basement campaign right on
through election day unless their poll numbers collapse, which could happen,
I mean it could happen late September, early October. But
so we know, the ABC moderators aren't going to pin
her down on these issues. They'll ask her the question,
but not the follow up question, which is what really matters.
(07:47):
So it's going to be up to President Trump to
pin her down in this debate. Which brings me back
to you know, he's come through in a lot of
big situations and in some others, you know, you wish
it been better, but he's going to have to know it.
He's going to have to pin her down.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I agree with you, and I do think this is
a day by day slugfest. This is not about one
debate or one certain issue. This is about, you know,
death by a thousand cuts, like just hammering her, hammering walls,
hammering the Democrat policies every single day, and everyone on
social media doing that, everyone doing it in their neighborhoods.
I don't feel confident in the ground game right now.
(08:27):
I think everybody's got to wake up and get involved,
even if everyone just gets on one of the apps.
And I'm happy to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And knocks a door, knocks a few doors, makes a
few phone calls, writes a few postcards. Even in those
swing states, you can do it through these apps. You
can write postcards to people in Philadelphia Atlanta. We've got
to help those cities get across the finish line for Republicans.
We've got to get Republicans to turn out and vote.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, and let's talk about how to do that. But
listen again, I think one of the real breaks for
Trump has been walls. And when we come back, I
want to talk about the danger right now, the danger
right now that all of these revelations about walls and
stolen valor and how kooky far left he is, et cetera,
may give the left an excuse, may give Harris an
(09:15):
excuse to run them off the ticket, fix the mistake,
and put Shapiro back in there. So one of the
things I want to kick around with you and give
us a call eight five five for zero five eight
two five five text d an five seven seven thirty
nine is at this point, would you rather have Wall
stay on the ticket or would you rather have the
Harris campaign dump them? If like me and Heidi, you
(09:37):
want to see Trump win, would you rather Wall stay
or go eight five five for zero five A two
five five You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
She hasn't done an interview.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
She can't do an interview.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
She's barely competent and she can't do an interview.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But I look forward to the.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Debates because I think we have to set the record straight.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What do you think about that line of attack? How
do you can all co hosting today? What do you
think about that?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think it's a much better attack than the ones
I've heard previously. She is completely incompetent. And when she
said in her speech, I guess at a rally that
she will on day one do everything she can to
lower prices, I'm like, isn't it day three and a
half year in?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly more from President Trump today.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
But as the borders are, she's been the worst borders
are in history, in the world history. I think the
number is twenty million, But whether it's fifteen or twenty,
it's numbers that nobody's ever heard before. Twenty million people
came over the voter and the last during the Biden
Harris administration, twenty million people, and it could be very
(10:47):
much higher than that. Nobody really knows what the number is.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Somebody has a clue.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
And the gotaways, they call them the gotaways, The gotaways
are at numbers.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Somebody was quizzing me on it the other day.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
No, No, I don't think I think so, sir, I
don't think so. They have no idea what those numbers are.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You would think the border alone would be enough to
win this race, you'd think, Dan so if and it's
a big gift the polls are accurate right now?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Why because we can't get our message through and they're
doing everything they can to cover up the bad stuff
that's happening. Unless you live in a city and are
seeing it and feeling it and living it. I don't
think the rest of America really understands the impact of
what's happening at the border in their local neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But let me ask you about that, because I understand
how frustrating it is to see the media lie and
cover up for Harrison, Wallas, etc. But not that many
people watch the media. I mean we do because we're
in the business, right yep, But not that many people do.
And you would think at this point America has lived it.
America has experienced it. And so if underline that the
(11:59):
Poles are right, why and because it seems like we
shouldn't even have to get a message through people would
already know it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, Dan, And when you look at the polls, why
did Kamala get such a bump? If she is so
incompetent it is leading the border situation? Then is it
a Trump thing? Is it a policy thing? Like why
did so many people just get all energized and ready
to go to war for her?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well, I think the bump is easy and doesn't worry
me because if to the extent the bump is just
a lot of people who would have been supporting Biden anyway,
you know, just now going back into that camp because
it's somebody with a pulse, you know, it's it's somebody
who's not twenty, but they're not ninety. And so that
(12:45):
to me was at least expected and doesn't really concern me.
And I would expect then that you're going to get
a little bit on top of that, right, because you're
going to get folks who just the age comparison thing,
they just look at that say yeah, it's time for
a new president and everything else. And she's not out
there making these big mistakes because she's in hiding. So
you're going to get a few more folks there. But again,
(13:08):
when you look historically, Jeez, how far behind was President
Trump at this point when he won in sixteen. I
think he was. He had to be seven eight nine
points behind nationally, I think so at this point and
then just outperformed at the polls. So yeah, would I
rather be up three or four points right now?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You bet?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
But so far? You know, I don't look at the
polls and say we're sunk my expectation. And tell me
if you think this is a smart strategy. Yeah, Ryan, Well,
if I may interject some good news, Yeah, we like
good news.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Okay, Well, Rasmussen reports, which again they wait, I know,
I know, but they got Trump up five nationally forty
nine forty four. But here's a Teller CNBC poll, Trump
forty eight, Harris forty six.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
That's national. That's plus two Trump CNBC.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And that is encouraging as long as it's not an outlier,
because what I've expected all is that that Trump would
in many ways be giving Harris August and just assuming
at this point through the convention, give them that.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He's said exactly that pressed today. Well, you took notes
from you, Dan, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And I'm not saying it's the ideal strategy. Listen, if
you had all the money in the world that then
you know you'd be or would you be let's say
that you had an unlimited budget with that campaign. Would
you be carpet bombing now the swing states with these
spots that make it clear who she and Walls are
or do you have to save those because they're just
(14:34):
not going to be effective in August in summer when
they've got the DEM convention coming up, what would you do?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I would play happy warrior and talk about my vision
for the country and paint a bright picture for our
future to get people excited and a little bit interested
if they see it on the news that oh god,
it would be nice to be able to afford to
buy a house again or not, you know, Duck and
Bob and weave when you go to the grocery store.
I think we've got to paint a very very positive
(15:03):
picture about what the future looks like under a President Trump,
because we're living under Biden right now. We're living under
Biden Harris, So we've got to make that distinction, and
then we can carpet bomb closer to the election and
go negative.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, because and I understand people have been watching the Olympics,
seeing a bunch of hairspots and everything else. But because
she's got this mole right now and they've got the
convention coming up, I get it on the Trump side
that they want to just, you know, let her hopefully
let that fire burn out through August and then just
relentlessly hit hard. Now at that point, what do you have, Heidi.
At that point, you've got basically another nine weeks and
(15:39):
early voting starting mid September some places. Yeah, so's it's
got to be really good when they kick it in.
Here's some more from Trump.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. And I'm
no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a
constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took
the presidency away, saying he lost after the debate, he
couldn't win. Well, I don't know that that's true necessarily,
but whether he could win or he couldn't win, he
had the right to run, and they took it away.
(16:09):
They said they're going to use the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They're going to hit you hard.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Either.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We could do it the nice I heard.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
I know exactly because I know a lot of people
on the other side, believe it or not. And uh,
they said we'll do it the nice way, We'll do
it the hard way. And he said, all right, So
that mean they've really taken What they've done is pretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know. The first part of that I consider to
be kind of the A Trump. And we're just really
really going to need the A Trump. We're going to
need the A Trump for these next ninety days. We're
really really going to need the A Trump once the
Democratic Convention ends. I know it's easy for me to
say he's been out there taking all of this abuse
for years. He's the guy who almost got his head
blown off, and so easy to say from the comfort
(16:54):
of a radio studio. But I still believe he's going
to win. But it's going to take the Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I agree with you, Dan, But here's what I remember
from the governor's race, though, is you know, every day
you're going to war. You're going to war against the media,
you're going to war against the Democrat machine, you're going
to war against your opponent, and you've got to have
a strategy to be just enough negative but just enough positive.
I remember in the last debate when Polus pulled out
(17:23):
the I'm a happy dad and you're a mad mom,
And I was like, Okay, he's obviously done polling and
the pulling says they're tired of the negative. They want
the happy warrior.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah and boom.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know so, And I know that he was looking
at data every single day, and I think that's got
to be a part of what we're doing is really
figuring out what do people what problems do people want
solved in their lives. And it doesn't have to be complicated,
but it's that's how Trump's going to win over the
suburban moms.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, and he has so much to work with it
because it's not theory. He has these successes in the
categories that matter most to so many people. Right. He
has the success with peace, and you contrast that to
this Biden administration war. He has the success with prosperity.
He has those successes to talk about. But I agree
(18:13):
with you, it needs to be that balance because at
the same time, he has to be out there hammering
on the fact that they're hiding and disrespecting the American
people by hiding. So, wow, it's going to be a
wild ninety days.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Hidi.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, all kind enough to be with us, let
me come back. Would you rather see Walls stay on
the ticket at this point or get run off the
ticket with the perils that carries. You're on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Wells, he did.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Make a comment speaking to a group.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
He's done it a couple of times where he has
used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in
a fighting situation.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
As you know with your contact.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
With the military, I know from coming from a military family,
there is a difference between being in a combat area,
being involved at a time of war, and actually being
in a position where people are shooting at you. There
is no evidence that at any time Governor Waltz was
in a position of being shot at, and some of
his language could easily be seen.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
To suggest that he was.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
So that is absolutely false when he said that about
gun rights out.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
There, do you think CNN is trying to run him out?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That sounds like it. That's shocking to me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, And so here's a question for eight five five
four zero five eight two five five will go to
the phones now TEXTDA and five seven seven three nine.
Hidi Gano generously co hosting. Would you, if you had
the choice, would you want him to stay on the
ticket or get dumped.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I want Whilt's on the ticket because if they dump
him within two days, the media will put it in
the back and no one will even remember he was
part of it. They'll have Josh Shapiro, a fresh new face, right, killing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It right right. No, I would much, much, much much
rather you stay on the ticket because you're absolutely right,
and they'd fix the big mistake and they'd bring in
Shapiro and possibly lock up Pennsylvania. Yeah, we all need
Wals on the ticket. Let's go to the phone line.
Let's start with how about PJ in Greeley, Colorado. You're
(20:17):
on the Dan Kapla show with Howdi ganaw Welcome PJ.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Hi Dan Hi hid? Can you hear me? My voice
wasn't coming through a couple of beautifully beautifully great well,
God bless both of you, and God bless your show
for what you do. I'm really impressed with your professionalism,
Thank you, and the sound analysis that you give. It's
really wonderful.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I wanted to talk about the question you asked, but
then I have a comment on the border. I'm I'm
not sure, to be honest with you, because on one hand,
you know, Trump has never had it easy, so so
why should that change now, you know? And uh. And
on the other hand, I see a point. I see
(21:02):
a point that this is a better route to go
if he stays on the pitch because there's so much there.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, and above all, PJ. For me, it is to
keep Josh Shapiro off the ticket, because again, I think
that was the biggest, one of the biggest mistakes in
American political history for her not to put Shapiro on
the team.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But Dan, why do you like after reading the follow
up on that, why do you think or PJ, you
answered this that she didn't pick Shapiro. Is it truly
because of his Jewish identity? Or is it because she
didn't want to be, you know, like glossed over because
he would outshine her?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
What do you think, PJ?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, I heard I heard Dan talk about that the
other day, and I totally agree with him, because Shapiro
somewhat reminds me of the late Governor Lamb. You know,
he he is a moderate, you know, and he he's sharp,
He's very sharp. I'm all the best in them in
(22:01):
the future. But you know, I just hope that someth wins.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, I, PJ. Appreciate the call, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, I know. I didn't want to make a
comment on the border.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh, it has to be sealed because the order needs
the border needs order, and it has to be sealed
because it seems to me we have a priority in
this country, and that is the Native Americans. I don't
want them to lose their land, and I want to
see the border sealed. That's all.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Thank you, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
PJ.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Appreciate the call. It's one of the reasons idea. As
we sit here today, I remain confident President Trump is
going to win unless he does something to make himself
just completely unacceptable to people. And I don't think that's
going to happen. And here's why. Because Americans across party lines,
to what a sixty seventy percent rate, want that border closed.
(22:53):
And this is a clear choice election. It doesn't matter
what messaging goes on spots. Americans know Trump he goes
closed order. Harris equals wide open border. Just impossible for
me to believe Americans are going to vote for a
wide open border.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I think our Congresswoman Lauren Berberts said the other day,
Maga versus Marxism, And if I thought that a lot
of our folks that went through the public school system
understood what Marxism was, I would say that's a good
way to look at the distinction. But at the end
of the day, I think the border and the economy
are the two issues that just completely clarify this race.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's right, because I think you're going to have some
second and third tier concerns as we go to Dan
and Parker on The Dan Kapla Show with Heidi Ganal,
second and third tier concerns about you have boy that
Harris seems like she might be this kind of ist
or that kind of ist. But concrete concerns, Yeah, the border,
the economy, and I'd say peace because Americans can see
the world blowing up under Biden and they saw relative
(23:54):
peace with Trump. Hey, Dan, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Hey Dan, Hey, Heidi, guys, aren't we all?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
First time, long time. I went to the Douglas County
Fair this weekend. Had a great time. I don't know
if either of you guys went, but we went Saturday
and Sunday, I went to the rodeo and I mosing
my way over to the Republican the Republican Party tent,
(24:27):
and you know we're we're talking about, you know, the
election and the ground game, hew do you I know
you mentioned it in the segment before, and it was
concerning to me because yeah, I just walked up. I
don't know anyone there, and I just said, hey, you know,
where can I register to vote? Where can I register
to be a part of the Republican Party? And nobody
(24:48):
had anything there, rifying you're up absolutely right. I mean,
think of the demographic that that's going to the fair,
the Douglas County Fair, and they didn't have a clue.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Finally somebody brought, you know, a QR code. But that
that me that that's something that needs to be front
and center and the folks there at the tent should
just be engaging with everybody that walks by there registering
people to vote. That place was loaded with with eighteen
to twenty five year olds, you know, walking around me,
(25:22):
and that's that's prime pickings. And it was just it
was really disappointing all kind of hang up and listen
and let you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thanks Dan, thanks.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You on that for a bit, but but the ground
game is critically essentially rounded, and I just.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Think we just do.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Such a terrible job here in Colorado. And I all
bing up and most thank you Dan, Hey appreciate the call.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Ye thank you, Not now, Heidi, You've been so involved
with all of with the GP and and I've got
a belief. I've got to believe that once this new
leadership comes in, and all indications are that you know
that peers that Dave Williams will be voted out, a
new leader will be voted in, that that hopefully they'll
be new energy and that'll help lift all boats. But
(26:03):
is that just a fantasy on my part? Are the
folks who strongly supported Dave and you know, opposed to
this move, are they just going to be burned off
forever and they'll never be unity.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I do think it's going to divide us even more.
I keep encouraging everybody to just drop it and let
things be and focus on the task at hand, which
is the election in eighty five days. I think that
got my numbers right. So what we can do is
ignore all the stuff going on at the top of
the ticket, at the car I mean at the top
of the car of state GOP and focus on your county.
(26:38):
The county GOP letter leaders are really good. They're doing
a lot of good things, but they don't have any
help from the state, they don't have any help from national.
So we've got to do this one one door knock
at a time, one phone call at a time, one
you know, one person at a time getting involved. So
I would encourage Dan go figure out how to register
to vote, go volunteer for If it's not the party,
(27:01):
there's lots of other great conservative groups in Douglas County.
I'm happy to help you out if you want to
ping me on social media and just just download the
Turning Point app and start getting to work. Knock ten
doors a day, call ten people a day, send ten
postcards to day, whatever it is. If everybody does that,
we're going to be okay. But everybody's waiting for this
big time solution to come in. If we a get
(27:23):
Dave Williams out or b if you know, all of
a sudden, Trump waves a magic wand and we have
a fat, magnificent ground game, it's not happening. It's up
to each one of us as Americans in Colorado citizens.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So so much to talk about eight five five four
zero five eight two five five text d an five
seven seven three nine. Do you want Waltz to now
stay on the ticket or would you rather see him
leave and have that clown car effect? So we'll continue
to talk about that, will bring you sound from the
presidents of fiery press conference today and the debate challenge
(27:55):
that he issued and what do you think he has
to do between now and elect day to pull this out?
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
You know, we had to say woke, like everybody needs
to be woke, and you can talk about if you're
the wokeust or woker, just stay more woke than less woke.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, And there are some people in America that's
their version of heaven. But I remain convinced not nearly
enough for Kamala Harris to win. And so I know
right now in the media is trying to feed this
whole thing. It's over. Republicans, give up, stop fighting. You
have no chance that this whole business, this whole business
of trying to discourage turnout among conservatives, right it's like
(28:44):
page two of their playbook. Remember Wisconsin in twenty when
ABC put out that poll a week before election day
that had Trump down. I can't remember the number, maybe
fifteen or sixteen, and he lost by a handful of votes,
and that was an ABC poll. So I sure hope
folks aren't overreact to the polls right now. So this
thing's a long way from over. And I've still got
(29:04):
to believe in the end that America as a whole
because I understand Heidi and Heidig and all co hosting today.
I mean, I get it that there's some value and
polls in this and that, but I also think it's
a very human process in the end, and I think
you have a lot of people who are just unwilling
to say they support Trump to anybody, but are still
going to vote from and in the end maybe a
(29:24):
more powerful dynamic. I just cannot believe America is at
the point where it's going to vote for a San
Francisco radical and people know she's that she can hide
all she want, right But you tell me if this
is denial not just a river in Egypt. But I
think Americans already know who Kamala Harris is and these
rallies now with all this excitement, that's just some hardcrees
(29:44):
in the base and they are excited about her, but
America as a whole, I think already knows who she is.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Well, Dan, I just told you on the break, I'm
very glad I came in today and got an a
dose of Dan enthusiasm because I was feeling down. And
I understand that's what the trying to do. But man,
you're out in the trenches. You're fighting to get people
excited and donating and investing in these races. We were
talking a little bit about Congressional District thiie with Jeff
Herd running and CD eight, which is up north north
(30:12):
of Denver, and that's Gabe Evans. These folks need help,
they need our donations, they need our support, they need
us door knocking. And I just can't say enough about
how important each one of us as individuals is to
making this work in Colorado and across America.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And obviously President Trump knows that the campaign needs to
get more active.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
I think it's very important to have debates, and we've
agreed with Fox on a date of September fourth.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
We've agreed with NBC.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Fairly full agreement subject to them on September tenth, and
we've agreed with ABC on September twenty fifth.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
So we have those three.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Dates and those networks they're very anxiously awaiting that date
and those dates. So we Havember September fourth, September tenth,
and September twenty fifth. We have spoken to the heads
of the network and it's all been confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And how many of those and Ryan has some response
sound from Harrison that how many of those do you
think she'll accept?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I think one. I think they're gonna they're gonna train
the snot out of her for that one, and just
pray that she doesn't say anything stupid. And we were
talking about this earlier too, that she just has to
show up and not act on and everything will be
like whoa roses it.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You could take my dead dog, my dead dog living
happily on Rainbow Bridge right now, Rogie, you could take
my dead dog and he could get through that debate successfully.
Right if it's NBC or ABC, it's a controlled environment.
Harris plays not to lose that there aren't going to
be any any big developments on her side.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I think the opportunities is there for President Trump. President Trump,
because the A or A plus Trump extremely impressive in
the opportunity to reach a lot of people in the
middle and make them more comfortable with him. I think
that's what that debate is going to be all about,
is his performance, not hers.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I agree, and I do think if they have more
than one, that's a better opportunity for us for Kamala
to slip or to say something weird.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
In their terminology, which means there won't be more than one.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, I know that's what I'm scared of.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So and I think Harris says she kind of confirmed
that for you, Ryan.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Madame, Vice President Donald Trump agreed to three to dates.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Will you be participating in all three?
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I'm all in that record.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
I am looking for dolating Donald Trump. But we have
a date of September tenth, and I hear he is
finally committed to it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'm looking forward about Bagatine.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, right right. It's the old Peter Boyles line, if
you knew where you were going to die, you wouldn't
go there, right, So, I mean, come on, it's almost
unfathomable that you could have what are we seventeen eighteen
days since Biden was deposed and she was installed, and
she still hasn't done a major interview. They're not even
trying to hide it. No, I was just openly saying, Yeah,
(33:09):
we can't put her out there because she say something stupid,
and what are you going to do about it?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
And that's so frustrating, Dan. The media will not cover it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And this is where this is where my forty years
I think as a trial lawyer comes in very, very handy,
because you know, forty years of just learning early in
my career. Listen, you can just trust juries. You can
just trust juries to do the right thing, and just
trust America. Trust America that it's not ready to vote
(33:36):
for its own demise. It's not ready to vote for
open borders. I won't go too far into the talking
points because everybody's eyes glaze over, and I think of
those talking points, only two or three really register. But
I just cannot imagine America voting for open borders. War
versus peace, you know, a bad economy versus a good
(33:56):
but above all, Heidi, I can't see America vote being
for clearly a San Francisco radical. Just can't see it.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
But Dan, we've got our own radicals here, and people
vote for them and call.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Head different deal, different deal, right, because I mean, you
are mine too, and it's on all of us try
to change that, and Lord knows you've done your part.
But that's so different than the nation as a whole, right,
I hope. So so when you look at those six
swing states where you still have such a heavy influence
on the part of working people, and how this turns
out and everything else, I just can't believe those swing
(34:31):
states are going to go for a San Francisco radical.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I like that you say that. I'm going to start
using that all the time. A San Francisco Radical. That's
exactly what she is, but we pussyfoot around it and
don't call her what she is.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And everybody knows that. Carl and Hyland's Ranch are on
the Dan Kapla Show with Heidi Ganau.
Speaker 2 (34:47):

now just openly, just openly acknowledging that they're running a
(00:20):
basement campaign. They're hiding earth, They're going to hide her
as much as possible, and just betting the American people
won't care, won't mind, and it'll all pay off for them.
Eight five five four zero five A two five five

So much fun stuff today, starting with Heidig and all
into co host. We always enjoy that. Thank you, Heidi,
(00:42):
Appreciate you being here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Happy to be here, Dan. There's a lot going on
in the world to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The board, and let's start with what I alluded to
off the top, which is okay. So President Trump today
comes out, We got all the sound, obviously, and he
challenges her now to three debates, after saying he would
only do one on Fox, no further negotiations. You know,
she gave him the double middle finger and kind of
laughed at it, and so then, let's face it, he
(01:08):
folds on that and now challenges her two three accepts
one the ABC debate that she initially said she would accept.
What do you make of all that?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean, we've got to get her on stage, We've
got to get her on the record, and I believe
Trump will do well with her on the stage. So
the more debates the better. But it's incredible that they
squawked so much about how Trump was ducking the debates
and then he offers up three today and she barely
commits to one. And then it was funny I saw
in one of the clips that she did it answer
(01:40):
a couple questions with the journalists today, and one of
the questions was when are you going to do a
long interview or when are you going to talk to
Somebody said, oh, we're working on planning one sit down
interview by the end of the month.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
See that's what I mean by not even trying to
hide it. And they're just betting the American people won't
care and will they? You tell me, is this going
to cost her electorally? Because on the debates at this point,
I mean, she's doing what you would advise her to
do if you were with her campaign out there claiming victory.
Now Trump caved. He's finally agreed to the September ten
(02:13):
ABC debates she had proposed and he had refused. So
she's claiming victory on that, not agreeing at least at
this point to the other two debates he's proposed. So
do you think this is going to pay off for
just openly in the basement, staying away and I'm going
to beat him that way?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, it worked for Biden, didn't it. And the media
is complicit in this. They will cover her, We're ind
and support her doing this, which is just terrible, terrible,
It's very frustrating.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
See, I'm not so sure it's going to work for
in the end because I personally think, listen, you know
much more about this. You've run a good natorial campaign
all that stuff, But from everything I've seen, I think
right now, perception is separate from reality, and right now,
I think there's this contagion of enthusiasm which is enormous
(03:09):
and wide and deep in certain segments, primarily the base,
And I think you're seeing this shift as we predicted
in the polls. Everything else but I am not at
all convinced at this point that it's going to translate
come election day, because we all know right on election
day it's about it's about what people really believe as
(03:32):
opposed to what they're willing to tell a polster. And
I think you've got And of course it's about intensity
and commitment, and you've got to believe that there are
an awful lot of people right now who would tend
to favor Trump who would be reluctant to tell anybody that,
including a polster, fantasy or reality.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I hope you're right. I so hope you're right. I
tweeted out this morning the Frank Lentz latest polling, and
I don't always agree with him, but he did kind
of a comprehensive look at the pulling and said that
Kamala would be elected president today if the election were today,
And I said, what is going on? Why does half
of America not get how bad things are? And they
would actually vote for four more years of this? It
(04:12):
just blows me away. And all I can say is
that the media is complicit. The mainstream media supports this
and is part of the problem, and it drives me crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, and I think it brings us back to the debate,
and i'd say debates. I'd like for there to be debates,
but at this point, I don't think we can count
on more than the one. And I think right now
that the perception that, Okay, that's going to be Trump's
big opportunity because Kamala Harris is obviously so inept, and
she is, but in a controlled setting like that, with
(04:46):
ABC moderating and with the expectations so low for her,
I think it's almost a guaranteed w for her because
at first, you know, you're comparing it to Biden against Trump,
and compared to how Biden, you know she's going to
look like Einstein. Second, because it is ABC in control,
they're going to protect her, and she's going to play
(05:08):
not to lose. And so folks hoping for some big
knockout in this debate, I think that's completely unrealistic. I
think the great opportunity in the debate is for President
Trump because I think that right now, just like with
Biden in twenty right, I don't think there were five
people in the country voted for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, there
(05:30):
were just a little too many voted against President Trump,
and I think we're looking at the same thing here.
You've got, Yeah, this core enthusiastic part of the base
for Harris, But in order to get her over the top,
I think it's going to have to be people voting
against Trump. So I think it's on September ten, more
about Trump impressing than Harris collapsing.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I agree with you. I'm optimistic that people are going
to wake up to the reality of their pocketbook, that
it is the economy stupid, and that people are going
to be feeling tremendous pain. They already are, but obviously
not enough to vote differently. And I do think the
economy is going to be the key issue that people
vote on if they do end up voting for Donald Trump.
(06:14):
And you heard is his name Jim Kramer or one
of those guys that's very left say, if you're going
to vote, if you want to vote for your pocketbook,
you vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Right right. And my bet, Heidi, And that's why I
sitting here today. If I had bet my car, I
would bet it on Trump winning. And the reason for
that is, at the end of the day, big picture,
I just cannot believe that in the Swing States, because
that's all we're talking about right in those six states.
I cannot believe that people are going to choose a
(06:45):
San Francisco radical. And I understand that she's running a
basement campaign now, but she was around for three and
a half years, right, and there was a reason she
had I think, maybe the lowest approval of any VP
right in modern history. People get it is, in fact,
to San Francisco radical, and I just can't believe that
people are going to be willing to go there unless
(07:07):
President Trump does some things that make it just too
hard for people to vote for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We've got to hammer the border too, We've got to
talk about immigration. What's happening in Denver, what's happening in
most cities across the country. It's the border, it's the economy,
it's our kids. Our kids are not in a good
place right now.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, which brings us back to the debate, right because
she is going to run this basement campaign right on
through election day unless their poll numbers collapse, which could happen,
I mean it could happen late September, early October. But
so we know, the ABC moderators aren't going to pin
her down on these issues. They'll ask her the question,
but not the follow up question, which is what really matters.
(07:47):
So it's going to be up to President Trump to
pin her down in this debate. Which brings me back
to you know, he's come through in a lot of
big situations and in some others, you know, you wish
it been better, but he's going to have to know it.
He's going to have to pin her down.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I agree with you, and I do think this is
a day by day slugfest. This is not about one
debate or one certain issue. This is about, you know,
death by a thousand cuts, like just hammering her, hammering walls,
hammering the Democrat policies every single day, and everyone on
social media doing that, everyone doing it in their neighborhoods.
I don't feel confident in the ground game right now.
(08:27):
I think everybody's got to wake up and get involved,
even if everyone just gets on one of the apps.
And I'm happy to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And knocks a door, knocks a few doors, makes a
few phone calls, writes a few postcards. Even in those
swing states, you can do it through these apps. You
can write postcards to people in Philadelphia Atlanta. We've got
to help those cities get across the finish line for Republicans.
We've got to get Republicans to turn out and vote.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, and let's talk about how to do that. But
listen again, I think one of the real breaks for
Trump has been walls. And when we come back, I
want to talk about the danger right now, the danger
right now that all of these revelations about walls and
stolen valor and how kooky far left he is, et cetera,
may give the left an excuse, may give Harris an
(09:15):
excuse to run them off the ticket, fix the mistake,
and put Shapiro back in there. So one of the
things I want to kick around with you and give
us a call eight five five for zero five eight
two five five text d an five seven seven thirty
nine is at this point, would you rather have Wall
stay on the ticket or would you rather have the
Harris campaign dump them? If like me and Heidi, you
(09:37):
want to see Trump win, would you rather Wall stay
or go eight five five for zero five A two
five five You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
She hasn't done an interview.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
She can't do an interview.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
She's barely competent and she can't do an interview.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But I look forward to the.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Debates because I think we have to set the record straight.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What do you think about that line of attack? How
do you can all co hosting today? What do you
think about that?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think it's a much better attack than the ones
I've heard previously. She is completely incompetent. And when she
said in her speech, I guess at a rally that
she will on day one do everything she can to
lower prices, I'm like, isn't it day three and a
half year in?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly more from President Trump today.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
But as the borders are, she's been the worst borders
are in history, in the world history. I think the
number is twenty million, But whether it's fifteen or twenty,
it's numbers that nobody's ever heard before. Twenty million people
came over the voter and the last during the Biden
Harris administration, twenty million people, and it could be very
(10:47):
much higher than that. Nobody really knows what the number is.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Somebody has a clue.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
And the gotaways, they call them the gotaways, The gotaways
are at numbers.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Somebody was quizzing me on it the other day.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
No, No, I don't think I think so, sir, I
don't think so. They have no idea what those numbers are.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You would think the border alone would be enough to
win this race, you'd think, Dan so if and it's
a big gift the polls are accurate right now?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Why because we can't get our message through and they're
doing everything they can to cover up the bad stuff
that's happening. Unless you live in a city and are
seeing it and feeling it and living it. I don't
think the rest of America really understands the impact of
what's happening at the border in their local neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But let me ask you about that, because I understand
how frustrating it is to see the media lie and
cover up for Harrison, Wallas, etc. But not that many
people watch the media. I mean we do because we're
in the business, right yep, But not that many people do.
And you would think at this point America has lived it.
America has experienced it. And so if underline that the
(11:59):
Poles are right, why and because it seems like we
shouldn't even have to get a message through people would
already know it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, Dan, And when you look at the polls, why
did Kamala get such a bump? If she is so
incompetent it is leading the border situation? Then is it
a Trump thing? Is it a policy thing? Like why
did so many people just get all energized and ready
to go to war for her?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well, I think the bump is easy and doesn't worry
me because if to the extent the bump is just
a lot of people who would have been supporting Biden anyway,
you know, just now going back into that camp because
it's somebody with a pulse, you know, it's it's somebody
who's not twenty, but they're not ninety. And so that
(12:45):
to me was at least expected and doesn't really concern me.
And I would expect then that you're going to get
a little bit on top of that, right, because you're
going to get folks who just the age comparison thing,
they just look at that say yeah, it's time for
a new president and everything else. And she's not out
there making these big mistakes because she's in hiding. So
you're going to get a few more folks there. But again,
(13:08):
when you look historically, Jeez, how far behind was President
Trump at this point when he won in sixteen. I
think he was. He had to be seven eight nine
points behind nationally, I think so at this point and
then just outperformed at the polls. So yeah, would I
rather be up three or four points right now?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You bet?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
But so far? You know, I don't look at the
polls and say we're sunk my expectation. And tell me
if you think this is a smart strategy. Yeah, Ryan, Well,
if I may interject some good news, Yeah, we like
good news.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Okay, Well, Rasmussen reports, which again they wait, I know,
I know, but they got Trump up five nationally forty
nine forty four. But here's a Teller CNBC poll, Trump
forty eight, Harris forty six.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
That's national. That's plus two Trump CNBC.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And that is encouraging as long as it's not an outlier,
because what I've expected all is that that Trump would
in many ways be giving Harris August and just assuming
at this point through the convention, give them that.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He's said exactly that pressed today. Well, you took notes
from you, Dan, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And I'm not saying it's the ideal strategy. Listen, if
you had all the money in the world that then
you know you'd be or would you be let's say
that you had an unlimited budget with that campaign. Would
you be carpet bombing now the swing states with these
spots that make it clear who she and Walls are
or do you have to save those because they're just
(14:34):
not going to be effective in August in summer when
they've got the DEM convention coming up, what would you do?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I would play happy warrior and talk about my vision
for the country and paint a bright picture for our
future to get people excited and a little bit interested
if they see it on the news that oh god,
it would be nice to be able to afford to
buy a house again or not, you know, Duck and
Bob and weave when you go to the grocery store.
I think we've got to paint a very very positive
(15:03):
picture about what the future looks like under a President Trump,
because we're living under Biden right now. We're living under
Biden Harris, So we've got to make that distinction, and
then we can carpet bomb closer to the election and
go negative.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, because and I understand people have been watching the Olympics,
seeing a bunch of hairspots and everything else. But because
she's got this mole right now and they've got the
convention coming up, I get it on the Trump side
that they want to just, you know, let her hopefully
let that fire burn out through August and then just
relentlessly hit hard. Now at that point, what do you have, Heidi.
At that point, you've got basically another nine weeks and
(15:39):
early voting starting mid September some places. Yeah, so's it's
got to be really good when they kick it in.
Here's some more from Trump.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. And I'm
no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a
constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took
the presidency away, saying he lost after the debate, he
couldn't win. Well, I don't know that that's true necessarily,
but whether he could win or he couldn't win, he
had the right to run, and they took it away.
(16:09):
They said they're going to use the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They're going to hit you hard.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Either.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We could do it the nice I heard.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
I know exactly because I know a lot of people
on the other side, believe it or not. And uh,
they said we'll do it the nice way, We'll do
it the hard way. And he said, all right, So
that mean they've really taken What they've done is pretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know. The first part of that I consider to
be kind of the A Trump. And we're just really
really going to need the A Trump. We're going to
need the A Trump for these next ninety days. We're
really really going to need the A Trump once the
Democratic Convention ends. I know it's easy for me to
say he's been out there taking all of this abuse
for years. He's the guy who almost got his head
blown off, and so easy to say from the comfort
(16:54):
of a radio studio. But I still believe he's going
to win. But it's going to take the Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I agree with you, Dan, But here's what I remember
from the governor's race, though, is you know, every day
you're going to war. You're going to war against the media,
you're going to war against the Democrat machine, you're going
to war against your opponent, and you've got to have
a strategy to be just enough negative but just enough positive.
I remember in the last debate when Polus pulled out
(17:23):
the I'm a happy dad and you're a mad mom,
And I was like, Okay, he's obviously done polling and
the pulling says they're tired of the negative. They want
the happy warrior.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah and boom.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know so, And I know that he was looking
at data every single day, and I think that's got
to be a part of what we're doing is really
figuring out what do people what problems do people want
solved in their lives. And it doesn't have to be complicated,
but it's that's how Trump's going to win over the
suburban moms.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, and he has so much to work with it
because it's not theory. He has these successes in the
categories that matter most to so many people. Right. He
has the success with peace, and you contrast that to
this Biden administration war. He has the success with prosperity.
He has those successes to talk about. But I agree
(18:13):
with you, it needs to be that balance because at
the same time, he has to be out there hammering
on the fact that they're hiding and disrespecting the American
people by hiding. So, wow, it's going to be a
wild ninety days.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Hidi.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, all kind enough to be with us, let
me come back. Would you rather see Walls stay on
the ticket at this point or get run off the
ticket with the perils that carries. You're on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Wells, he did.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Make a comment speaking to a group.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
He's done it a couple of times where he has
used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in
a fighting situation.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
As you know with your contact.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
With the military, I know from coming from a military family,
there is a difference between being in a combat area,
being involved at a time of war, and actually being
in a position where people are shooting at you. There
is no evidence that at any time Governor Waltz was
in a position of being shot at, and some of
his language could easily be seen.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
To suggest that he was.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
So that is absolutely false when he said that about
gun rights out.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
There, do you think CNN is trying to run him out?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That sounds like it. That's shocking to me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, And so here's a question for eight five five
four zero five eight two five five will go to
the phones now TEXTDA and five seven seven three nine.
Hidi Gano generously co hosting. Would you, if you had
the choice, would you want him to stay on the
ticket or get dumped.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I want Whilt's on the ticket because if they dump
him within two days, the media will put it in
the back and no one will even remember he was
part of it. They'll have Josh Shapiro, a fresh new face, right, killing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It right right. No, I would much, much, much much
rather you stay on the ticket because you're absolutely right,
and they'd fix the big mistake and they'd bring in
Shapiro and possibly lock up Pennsylvania. Yeah, we all need
Wals on the ticket. Let's go to the phone line.
Let's start with how about PJ in Greeley, Colorado. You're
(20:17):
on the Dan Kapla show with Howdi ganaw Welcome PJ.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Hi Dan Hi hid? Can you hear me? My voice
wasn't coming through a couple of beautifully beautifully great well,
God bless both of you, and God bless your show
for what you do. I'm really impressed with your professionalism,
Thank you, and the sound analysis that you give. It's
really wonderful.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I wanted to talk about the question you asked, but
then I have a comment on the border. I'm I'm
not sure, to be honest with you, because on one hand,
you know, Trump has never had it easy, so so
why should that change now, you know? And uh. And
on the other hand, I see a point. I see
(21:02):
a point that this is a better route to go
if he stays on the pitch because there's so much there.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, and above all, PJ. For me, it is to
keep Josh Shapiro off the ticket, because again, I think
that was the biggest, one of the biggest mistakes in
American political history for her not to put Shapiro on
the team.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But Dan, why do you like after reading the follow
up on that, why do you think or PJ, you
answered this that she didn't pick Shapiro. Is it truly
because of his Jewish identity? Or is it because she
didn't want to be, you know, like glossed over because
he would outshine her?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
What do you think, PJ?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, I heard I heard Dan talk about that the
other day, and I totally agree with him, because Shapiro
somewhat reminds me of the late Governor Lamb. You know,
he he is a moderate, you know, and he he's sharp,
He's very sharp. I'm all the best in them in
(22:01):
the future. But you know, I just hope that someth wins.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, I, PJ. Appreciate the call, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, I know. I didn't want to make a
comment on the border.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh, it has to be sealed because the order needs
the border needs order, and it has to be sealed
because it seems to me we have a priority in
this country, and that is the Native Americans. I don't
want them to lose their land, and I want to
see the border sealed. That's all.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Thank you, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
PJ.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Appreciate the call. It's one of the reasons idea. As
we sit here today, I remain confident President Trump is
going to win unless he does something to make himself
just completely unacceptable to people. And I don't think that's
going to happen. And here's why. Because Americans across party lines,
to what a sixty seventy percent rate, want that border closed.
(22:53):
And this is a clear choice election. It doesn't matter
what messaging goes on spots. Americans know Trump he goes
closed order. Harris equals wide open border. Just impossible for
me to believe Americans are going to vote for a
wide open border.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I think our Congresswoman Lauren Berberts said the other day,
Maga versus Marxism, And if I thought that a lot
of our folks that went through the public school system
understood what Marxism was, I would say that's a good
way to look at the distinction. But at the end
of the day, I think the border and the economy
are the two issues that just completely clarify this race.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's right, because I think you're going to have some
second and third tier concerns as we go to Dan
and Parker on The Dan Kapla Show with Heidi Ganal,
second and third tier concerns about you have boy that
Harris seems like she might be this kind of ist
or that kind of ist. But concrete concerns, Yeah, the border,
the economy, and I'd say peace because Americans can see
the world blowing up under Biden and they saw relative
(23:54):
peace with Trump. Hey, Dan, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Hey Dan, Hey, Heidi, guys, aren't we all?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
First time, long time. I went to the Douglas County
Fair this weekend. Had a great time. I don't know
if either of you guys went, but we went Saturday
and Sunday, I went to the rodeo and I mosing
my way over to the Republican the Republican Party tent,
(24:27):
and you know we're we're talking about, you know, the
election and the ground game, hew do you I know
you mentioned it in the segment before, and it was
concerning to me because yeah, I just walked up. I
don't know anyone there, and I just said, hey, you know,
where can I register to vote? Where can I register
to be a part of the Republican Party? And nobody
(24:48):
had anything there, rifying you're up absolutely right. I mean,
think of the demographic that that's going to the fair,
the Douglas County Fair, and they didn't have a clue.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Finally somebody brought, you know, a QR code. But that
that me that that's something that needs to be front
and center and the folks there at the tent should
just be engaging with everybody that walks by there registering
people to vote. That place was loaded with with eighteen
to twenty five year olds, you know, walking around me,
(25:22):
and that's that's prime pickings. And it was just it
was really disappointing all kind of hang up and listen
and let you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thanks Dan, thanks.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You on that for a bit, but but the ground
game is critically essentially rounded, and I just.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Think we just do.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Such a terrible job here in Colorado. And I all
bing up and most thank you Dan, Hey appreciate the call.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Ye thank you, Not now, Heidi, You've been so involved
with all of with the GP and and I've got
a belief. I've got to believe that once this new
leadership comes in, and all indications are that you know
that peers that Dave Williams will be voted out, a
new leader will be voted in, that that hopefully they'll
be new energy and that'll help lift all boats. But
(26:03):
is that just a fantasy on my part? Are the
folks who strongly supported Dave and you know, opposed to
this move, are they just going to be burned off
forever and they'll never be unity.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I do think it's going to divide us even more.
I keep encouraging everybody to just drop it and let
things be and focus on the task at hand, which
is the election in eighty five days. I think that
got my numbers right. So what we can do is
ignore all the stuff going on at the top of
the ticket, at the car I mean at the top
of the car of state GOP and focus on your county.
(26:38):
The county GOP letter leaders are really good. They're doing
a lot of good things, but they don't have any
help from the state, they don't have any help from national.
So we've got to do this one one door knock
at a time, one phone call at a time, one
you know, one person at a time getting involved. So
I would encourage Dan go figure out how to register
to vote, go volunteer for If it's not the party,
(27:01):
there's lots of other great conservative groups in Douglas County.
I'm happy to help you out if you want to
ping me on social media and just just download the
Turning Point app and start getting to work. Knock ten
doors a day, call ten people a day, send ten
postcards to day, whatever it is. If everybody does that,
we're going to be okay. But everybody's waiting for this
big time solution to come in. If we a get
(27:23):
Dave Williams out or b if you know, all of
a sudden, Trump waves a magic wand and we have
a fat, magnificent ground game, it's not happening. It's up
to each one of us as Americans in Colorado citizens.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So so much to talk about eight five five four
zero five eight two five five text d an five
seven seven three nine. Do you want Waltz to now
stay on the ticket or would you rather see him
leave and have that clown car effect? So we'll continue
to talk about that, will bring you sound from the
presidents of fiery press conference today and the debate challenge
(27:55):
that he issued and what do you think he has
to do between now and elect day to pull this out?
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
You know, we had to say woke, like everybody needs
to be woke, and you can talk about if you're
the wokeust or woker, just stay more woke than less woke.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, And there are some people in America that's
their version of heaven. But I remain convinced not nearly
enough for Kamala Harris to win. And so I know
right now in the media is trying to feed this
whole thing. It's over. Republicans, give up, stop fighting. You
have no chance that this whole business, this whole business
of trying to discourage turnout among conservatives, right it's like
(28:44):
page two of their playbook. Remember Wisconsin in twenty when
ABC put out that poll a week before election day
that had Trump down. I can't remember the number, maybe
fifteen or sixteen, and he lost by a handful of votes,
and that was an ABC poll. So I sure hope
folks aren't overreact to the polls right now. So this
thing's a long way from over. And I've still got
(29:04):
to believe in the end that America as a whole
because I understand Heidi and Heidig and all co hosting today.
I mean, I get it that there's some value and
polls in this and that, but I also think it's
a very human process in the end, and I think
you have a lot of people who are just unwilling
to say they support Trump to anybody, but are still
going to vote from and in the end maybe a
(29:24):
more powerful dynamic. I just cannot believe America is at
the point where it's going to vote for a San
Francisco radical and people know she's that she can hide
all she want, right But you tell me if this
is denial not just a river in Egypt. But I
think Americans already know who Kamala Harris is and these
rallies now with all this excitement, that's just some hardcrees
(29:44):
in the base and they are excited about her, but
America as a whole, I think already knows who she is.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Well, Dan, I just told you on the break, I'm
very glad I came in today and got an a
dose of Dan enthusiasm because I was feeling down. And
I understand that's what the trying to do. But man,
you're out in the trenches. You're fighting to get people
excited and donating and investing in these races. We were
talking a little bit about Congressional District thiie with Jeff
Herd running and CD eight, which is up north north
(30:12):
of Denver, and that's Gabe Evans. These folks need help,
they need our donations, they need our support, they need
us door knocking. And I just can't say enough about
how important each one of us as individuals is to
making this work in Colorado and across America.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And obviously President Trump knows that the campaign needs to
get more active.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
I think it's very important to have debates, and we've
agreed with Fox on a date of September fourth.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
We've agreed with NBC.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Fairly full agreement subject to them on September tenth, and
we've agreed with ABC on September twenty fifth.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
So we have those three.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Dates and those networks they're very anxiously awaiting that date
and those dates. So we Havember September fourth, September tenth,
and September twenty fifth. We have spoken to the heads
of the network and it's all been confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And how many of those and Ryan has some response
sound from Harrison that how many of those do you
think she'll accept?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I think one. I think they're gonna they're gonna train
the snot out of her for that one, and just
pray that she doesn't say anything stupid. And we were
talking about this earlier too, that she just has to
show up and not act on and everything will be
like whoa roses it.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You could take my dead dog, my dead dog living
happily on Rainbow Bridge right now, Rogie, you could take
my dead dog and he could get through that debate successfully.
Right if it's NBC or ABC, it's a controlled environment.
Harris plays not to lose that there aren't going to
be any any big developments on her side.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I think the opportunities is there for President Trump. President Trump,
because the A or A plus Trump extremely impressive in
the opportunity to reach a lot of people in the
middle and make them more comfortable with him. I think
that's what that debate is going to be all about,
is his performance, not hers.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I agree, and I do think if they have more
than one, that's a better opportunity for us for Kamala
to slip or to say something weird.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
In their terminology, which means there won't be more than one.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, I know that's what I'm scared of.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So and I think Harris says she kind of confirmed
that for you, Ryan.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Madame, Vice President Donald Trump agreed to three to dates.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Will you be participating in all three?
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I'm all in that record.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
I am looking for dolating Donald Trump. But we have
a date of September tenth, and I hear he is
finally committed to it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'm looking forward about Bagatine.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, right right. It's the old Peter Boyles line, if
you knew where you were going to die, you wouldn't
go there, right, So, I mean, come on, it's almost
unfathomable that you could have what are we seventeen eighteen
days since Biden was deposed and she was installed, and
she still hasn't done a major interview. They're not even
trying to hide it. No, I was just openly saying, Yeah,
(33:09):
we can't put her out there because she say something stupid,
and what are you going to do about it?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
And that's so frustrating, Dan. The media will not cover it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And this is where this is where my forty years
I think as a trial lawyer comes in very, very handy,
because you know, forty years of just learning early in
my career. Listen, you can just trust juries. You can
just trust juries to do the right thing, and just
trust America. Trust America that it's not ready to vote
(33:36):
for its own demise. It's not ready to vote for
open borders. I won't go too far into the talking
points because everybody's eyes glaze over, and I think of
those talking points, only two or three really register. But
I just cannot imagine America voting for open borders. War
versus peace, you know, a bad economy versus a good
(33:56):
but above all, Heidi, I can't see America vote being
for clearly a San Francisco radical. Just can't see it.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
But Dan, we've got our own radicals here, and people
vote for them and call.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Head different deal, different deal, right, because I mean, you
are mine too, and it's on all of us try
to change that, and Lord knows you've done your part.
But that's so different than the nation as a whole, right,
I hope. So so when you look at those six
swing states where you still have such a heavy influence
on the part of working people, and how this turns
out and everything else, I just can't believe those swing
(34:31):
states are going to go for a San Francisco radical.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I like that you say that. I'm going to start
using that all the time. A San Francisco Radical. That's
exactly what she is, but we pussyfoot around it and
don't call her what she is.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And everybody knows that. Carl and Hyland's Ranch are on
the Dan Kapla Show with Heidi Ganau.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Welcome, Hi Dan, thanks for taking my call in Heidi.
First of all, thank you, Harley.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Can you accept my apology? Can you hang on until
after the break?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Great? Thank you for that and everybody else on the line.
I promise, Heidi and I will devote the first segment
of the next hour to our many callers you will
get on the line in that segment. Please stay with
