Dan is back after a day of depositions, and has been pondering what the next move for Governor Jared Polis might be. He finds it interesting, out of nowhere, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) announces that he is definitely running for re-election in 2026. Could this be a pre-emptive strike against a potential challenge from Polis after he leaves office as governor?

Also, going back to Tuesday night, did Michelle Obama unintentionally (or intentionally?) insult Vice-President Kamala Harris by taking a jab at Donald Trump over the Presidency possibly being 'one of those black jobs' in a reference to comments he made at the National Association of Black Journalists convention a few weeks ago.

single day on your favorite podcast platform. Holy Cow, Sara,
I missed you yesterday. I was off cross examining some
witnesses and a really important case. And thanks to Heidigan

(00:22):
All for taking the show yesterday before. I've been chopping
at the bit to talk to you about a few
different things. First, and you know me, I hate to
say I told you so right, one of the things
I hate worse than life, But I have to do
it again today when it comes to Michelle Obama, and
there will be many others and there already are on
the left trying to undercut Kamala Harris while at the

(00:43):
same time appearing to support her. So we'll get into that.
And then fascinating question for you, why has there been
this big swing in the betting markets eleven point shift
in Trump's favor since the start of the DNC This
on polymarket.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't think the betting markets are the most reliable
indicator of anything, not at all. But they're an indicator,
So why this big switch since the start of the
DNC eight five five for zero five eight two five
five the number you can text d an five seven
seven three nine.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So we got that to talk about. And how about this?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
And this falls under the I told you so category,
But I think it's one of the most fun things
in a long time politically, and that is Remember, I've
been telling you that that Jared Polis, first of all,
any effort to run for president would quickly fail, and
we've seen that happen.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
He couldn't even get a whiff for VP. He couldn't even.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Get a courtesy mentioned a courtesy mention for VP when
Biden was deposed and Harris was installed. So that's how
low down the totem pole he is. I've been telling
you along that was going to happen. But then watch
what would happen next? Polus would go after Hick and
Looper's Senate seed, right, because Polis is term limited out

(02:11):
and that ends in twenty six. Well, son of a buck,
what then happens in twenty six? Oh, of course, hick
and Looper's seat is up, and Hick and Looper has
to run again unless police forces him out. So Ryan,
I'm sure you thought of me, and I'm sure you
laughed along with me when we both saw the news

(02:31):
pop up that John Hickenlooper, and thank god he's alive.
You know, we were all concerned about that because you
don't hear, you don't see, he doesn't do anything. But
thank god he's still with us, because he made an
announcement that he's going to run for reelection in twenty six,
but that will be his last term.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, why do you think he does that now? Why
do you think he suddenly does that now?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
He does that now because he knows that Polis is
eyeing his seat, wants to kill that in the cradle.
He just wants to make it clear that Polus is
not going to run him out. Either that or he
wants to increase the price, not in terms of dollars.
I don't mean it that way, but yeah, So there
is no other explanation for while why hickey Looper.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Should suddenly surface now.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And say, oh, yeah, by the way, I'm running again
in twenty six. So that to me one of the
most interesting things to happen. So if Hicckenlooper holds firm
on that.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
What happens?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Does Polus run against him in a primary and just overwhelm.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Him with cash?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Does police push him out anyway? What do you think
happens there? I can't wait to hear from you eight
five five for zero five eight two five five the
number techs d an five seven seven three nine. Because
Polis has nowhere to go now right, he has nowhere
to go. He's not going to be a national figure.
And in Colorado the only statewide seat that he can
really run for is Senate. And if Hickeylooper has said

(04:02):
hell no, I won't go, where does Polis go from there?
And I know you're thinking, because you're very smart about
all this, whoever you are, I know you're thinking, Okay, well,
if Harris wins, he goes into a Harris administration, maybe,
but as third undersecretary of underwear or what. Because you

(04:22):
read the current articles right now, and there's all sorts
of speculation because the Democrats are so giddy with over
confidence as to who's going to be in a Harris administration.
And you're not seeing Polis mentioned, or you're not seeing
him mentioned much. You know, Polis is more a creation
of his big money and the media bubble in Colorado
and his ability to kind of intimidate favorable coverage and

(04:46):
so a lot. Ryan unless Kim Kardashian steps up for
him and just absolutely insists that he be somewhere in
a non existent Harris administration, does.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
He just go after Higelooper? What do you think? I mean?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's interesting think about what is next for Jared Polish.
Like you said, he's turn limited it out. He might
have had his eye on that seat in the Senate
for twenty six. You think he has presidential aspirations, but
that wouldn't be until twenty eight. So what does he
do in the meantime to kind of keep his name
out there and in the conversation. My only other guests,
and you might scoff at this, and it might be
scoff worthy, would be that he might be a pundit

(05:21):
for Fox News. He likes to go on there. He's
got friends there, Dana Perino being chief among them, Shannon
Breen being another.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Could you see him as a panelist on the five?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Could I break something to you here? And please nobody
think this is mean? Okay, please don't think this is mean.
It's not meant that way. I owe it to you
to be honest it is. This show is a relentless
search for the truth, and that's why we open it
up every day. We're not like Kamala Harris. We're not
like Jared Polis. We're not like any of those people

(05:50):
who run and hide. If you think I'm wrong about something,
you know the number eight five five four zero five
eight two five five. It's a lousy number. It's hard
to remember, but it's still a number. Eight five five
four zero five eight two five five. So if you
think I'm wrong about something, you know where to find me.
You can point it out, we can discuss it. There
have been times over my almost thirty years on air

(06:12):
where somebody's pointed out, hey, Dan, you missed this one,
and they rolled back it up and I said, yeah,
you know, you're right, I missed that one. So you
know where to find me. But here's the reality of
Jared Polis. Okay, Jared Polis is a fiction. Jared Polis
is a bubble. Jared Polis operates in a bubble of

(06:34):
protection created by his money. And so when Jared Polis
says I predicted ventures outside that bubble, it doesn't last
very long, kind of like a blue gild that gets
tossed up on.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
The shore, not pretty and doesn't last.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
So Ryan, my point is this, out in the real world,
outside the bubble, outside his money bubble, nobody finds him interesting.
And I don't mean that in a pejorative way, but
nobody finds him interesting. And that's why he's not getting
a whiff on all this other stuff. You really think

(07:11):
Fox News would want him on the five to do what?

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Well?

Speaker 3 (07:14):
They always have that one left liberal pundit, whether it's
Harold Ford or Jessica Tarlaw. In the past it's been
Heraldo Rivera, or it's been Wan Williams.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I could see him maybe occupying that space. Maybe I'm
just throwing it.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Out there, but sure, and I love that you throw
things out there. But to occupy that space, you've got
to be what. You've got to be really interesting. You
have to be able to take a blow, you have
to be able to take a punch, you have to
be able to laugh at yourself a little bit, none

(07:48):
of which is Jared Polis. He is the consummate, pure,
arrogant elitist, and he's a lot more hat than cattle.
And so remember the meat up. Yeah, I do so anyway,
that's that's my point is is and I'd have to
get some good odds on this one, Ryan, because I

(08:08):
feel it in my gut. But what I really bet
you in my car on it, I wouldn't be surprised
if he just.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Runs Hiking Looper out of there.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh, because Polus's ego, he has got to have that position.
He's got to have the title, he has to have
the constant people kissing up to him.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And you know, he's got all the money.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
His parents, you know, did a tremendous job, made a
ton of money. He made some good business moves too.
He's got a ton of money, and so he's not
going to be satisfied. His ego is not going to
be you know, fed going out and just making more
money or spending more money. He's he's got to have the.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
The adoration, even if it's fake.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
So anyway, I just wanted people to be aware of
that that I think I've been proven right on this.
The only reason nickol Luper comes out now and says, hey,
I'm running in twenty six as he knows that Polus
is after that seat eight five five for zero five
e two five five text Dan five seven, seven through nine.
So when we come back, what I'd love to hear
from you on is And I don't claim to know

(09:12):
the answer to this, I think I do. But why
has there been an eleven point swing in Trump's favor
in the betting market since the start of the DNC.
He was down fifty two forty eight at the start
and now he's up fifty three forty six.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Why that change?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And I'll also tell you when we come back how
I think Michelle Obama so dramatically and unmistakably in her
speech undercut Kamala Harris to Michelle's own benefit.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Hey, let's go to the phone line. Start with Denise
in Florida. You're on the Dan Capitlas Show.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Welcome, Hi, Hi, Dan, Hey Denise, what do you think? Yes?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Man?

Speaker 6 (09:59):
What do you th yes? Hi? I had sent you
an email. We listened to Jeff Kooner this morning. He's
a conservative radio talk show host in Massachusetts. By visiting
up at the Cape right now, and he was telling
us about Jay Valentine, who said the mail in ballots
are getting going to get stolen again by the Democrats,

(10:22):
and he has proof and it's in the video that
are the audio that I sent you. What Soros and
Bill Gates do? They have hundreds of thousands of mail
in ballots sent over to Walmart, Sam's Club restaurants, and
then the infiltrate is go in that works with those people,
grab all that mail, take it back and fill it

(10:44):
in with Democrats and they're already planning on doing it again.
And that's what happens.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Let me ask you, Jase, do they have proof of that?

Speaker 6 (10:53):
He said he has proof and it's in that audio
that I don't know if you got my email?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Well, and where did you send the email to.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Dan Caplis at iHeartRadio?

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Thank you, thank you for that. I haven't checked that email.
And how many years Ryan? At least at least six yes, so,
but thank you for the effort. If you could, if
you could hold the line, Kelly will give you an
email you can send stuff to me.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
At Okay, all right, thank you, Thank.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You, Denise, have a good trip. Let's go to Boulder.
Talk to David. You're on the Dan Kaplosh so welcome.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Ryan. Why haven't I checked that email in six years.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Uh, it just doesn't jibe with your daily routine.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't think it's a vibe thing. It's a vibe. Yeah,
I'm David. Welcome man. I'm sure you are.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Thank god, I'm active listener, a fan. Thank God the
eighteenth back today, sir, because uh, listen to Oh.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
No, no, no, no, none of that. You gotta beef with Heidi.
Call Heidi. You gotta beef with me? Call me?

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I love you don't know? Yeah, well, I felt to
Ryan listener mispronounced the name with such disrespect Kamala versus
com It was embarrassing for it. No wait, second, it
was just it.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Was She's very good, and that would never be intentional.
Lots of people pronounced that many different ways.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
It's also my pleasure to follow up that last goal. Okay,
the secret ballot is going to uh, the secret ballots
going to the walmarts that sources people are picking up.
I mean it only gets deeper. And you know, I
love that stuff. Mats Weller about you, you don't you
know you put in put up with it. But that
being said, you just said early in the show. When

(12:43):
you're wrong, you're wrong. This discussion about Jared Pullis earning
his you know, one hundred and twenty million bucks, that's
nott or inheriting it. That's not the way it went
mad even.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Cloth who said what? Who said what?

Speaker 5 (12:57):
He inherited his money from his parents.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
He made no, no, no, my friends, you did not quote
me accurately. And I said nothing about one hundred and
twenty million dollars or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
My exact words over.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
A billion in combinations. There were his companies.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I didn't use any numbers. David, what I he explain
something to me? Okay, explain something to me. How do
you call this show and rip on the lady who
just called saying she's saying false stuff and then you
say provably false stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
How does that happen?

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (13:28):
The inuation was Jared Jared Poulus inherited his money.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Jarman, you talk about the words I used.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Remember, as our parents always told us, use your words, Danny,
use your words, Davy, so.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Use my words. I didn't say anything like that. My
point is this.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
That's the only one.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
My point is simply this, and I don't think you'll
refute it.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, you call me baby reminds me of Heidi, referring
to Kamala Harris's come on.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
You have Are you offended by that? That's like, that's
like mispronouncing, that's like im Hoff.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's like im Hoff getting the babysitter's name wrong, right,
I mean, stuff happens.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
So, David, I'm sorry that upset you so much. But
I did say what you thought I said.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
So do you have a related point?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Do you have a related point? My friend?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (14:24):
I was just calling because you're completely off you totally
represented like Jared pollis inherit from the parents. That's the
way you are. You know, you did so and I
love you.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
But David appreciate the call. Thank you. So I'm the company. Yeah,
thank you, David, appreciate the call. I think it.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I'm not sure how you can be wrong about something
you didn't say, Ryan. That sounds like one of those
deep thoughts segments. Oh yeah, one of these days. Yeah,
deep thoughts. You're wrong about something you didn't say. If
I may, you know what the you know what my
problem is is your problem.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's not a problem.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
But the factor is I don't smoke dope. You do not,
and I've never smoked dope, and you don't need, so
I can't. I can't relate to these questions such as
how you can be wrong about something you didn't say.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
And I'm not suggesting anybody else smoke dope.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm just saying that don't have no value judgment and
those adults who have, except for the fact that legalization
is green lighting it for a bunch of kids and
ruining their lives and killing a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
But on a lighter note, Ryan, what do you have.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well, just to be the third party, objective observer here,
and I know that the callers will agree. I remember
distinctly what you said. You did say, and it is
true that Jared Poulus came from wealth.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
That is not a lie. But you also said.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
That he made some business decisions of his own, good ones,
good decisions which were rewarded, and he earned whatever or
it was. And you never even said X number of dollars.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Never.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
But here's my point, Okay, you have rich people who
are the greatest, most well grounded, respectful of all other
people's regardless of their wealth type people. And then you
have rich people who are arrogant to leadist pricks who
think their own bodily functions don't smell, and they think

(16:24):
they're better than everybody else just because they happen to
have money.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
And then they get to live in this.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Fictional world where all of a sudden they're so great
because they have a bunch of money. And that's Jared Polis.
That's all I'm saying is the guy's an arrogant e
leitist who once he gets out of his money bubble
and his Colorado media bubble and goes out in the
real world, it doesn't end well. And that's exactly what

(16:53):
we've been watching together.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Right, which is kind of going full circle back to
your original thesis about he intended target hicken Looper in
twenty six for that Senate see or if he doesn't
do that, what does he do.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
In the meantime?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Dan to keep his name out there because he's term
limited out in twenty six. You think he might want
to run in twenty eight, but he'd have to have
something to run on other than I was governor a
couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
And he's got to know now, this presidential aspiration stuff
was always a fantasy, always will be a fantasy. It's
never going to happen. He is, And again I don't
mean this in a mean way. I've said positive things
about him when.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
He's deserved it. He is a boring old white guy.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Nobody's interested he You know he can, I'm sure, wonderful
family man and all that good stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
God love you.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
But in terms of the American public interested in Jared Polis, No,
unless he's going to give that person whoever, that person
is a bunch of money. Hey, when we come back,
I need to get to this. We will start with this.
How Michelle Obama undercut Harris in a big way during
Michelle's speech in a way that was very good for Michelle,

(18:05):
very bad for Kamala, and Michelle knew it.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
That up next on the Dan Caplis Show.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 7 (18:20):
What you seen George is very accurate because what she
has the group that she's most enthused are younger people
that were just going to sit it out and she's
brought them back and that are left leading, brought them
back to wanting to participate, and most especially the older

(18:41):
African American crowd and the African American females. The move
with a lot of the African American males toward Trump
has not changed, and that is still strong. But it
is that enthusiasm of people who might have when they
originally polled before been represented by people that they might
vote to people who definitely vote, is what I would

(19:03):
attribute most of her rise to.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
That new group.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
But it is true that that enthusiasm that Biden have
of being able to relate to those Midwest blue collar workers,
at this point, she hasn't made the sale to the vote.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, and that's the whole race, right, I mean, I
understand it will help the left to bring those Biden
people back.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, that helps them. That doesn't win the race.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Remember twenty twenty, Biden won by the thinnest of hairs,
being able to pull off the con that he was
some regular joe, working class guy, a moderate, pulling.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Off that con.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
And now they're asking the states that are going to
decide this election to elect a San Francisco radical. Big,
big difference. By the way that poster you were listening
to Robert Kaheley. I like them, We've had them on
the show a bunch before. I don't trust him the
way I used to. He was extraordinarily accurate in twenty

(20:08):
when others weren't and then really really missed big in
the midterms and appeared to be way too right leaning.
So you know, I'd take it with a grain of
salt on Trafalgar at this point, but I think the
core point is undeniable that he at this point really
really tough sell for Kamala Harris to the folks who

(20:30):
are going to decide this election in the Blue Wall
States and Ryan that brings me to a point. I
opened the show with how Michelle Obama I think very
deliberately undercut Kamala Harris in her speech. Was it Tuesday night?
Thought the week's just blending together? But do you have
that cut sound? Michelle Obama at the speech talking about

(20:52):
black job.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel
threatened by the existence of too hard work and highly educated,
successful people who happen to be black. I want to know,
I want to know who's gonna tell him, Who's gonna
tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just

(21:14):
be one of those black jobs.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
It's his same old time.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, let's talk about that for a second.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
I'm doubling down on ugly misogynistic races.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Live think about that, Okay, great line for Michelle, right,
I mean, beautifully brilliantly conceived line. If you're Michelle Obama
and you're trying to elevate Michelle Obama, very clever, got
everybody's attention, everybody will remember it. But that makes it
an even bigger problem for Kamala Harris because it's one

(21:52):
of those lines that's so creative and cuts through the noise.
Almost everybody's gonna hear about it. And what are people
gonna hear? Oh? Yeah, the great line Michelle Obama about
the presidency is a black job.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Well, guess what.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
If you're Michelle Obama, that's awesome for you, And if
you're Kamala Harris, that's probably disastrous because when you look
at the states that are going to decide this race,
if you're Kamala Harris, what you want to do is
to try to take race out of it, take race
out of it.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
And you know, almost every.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Political analyst agrees that this race is likely to be
decided by the level of white working class turnout in
the blue Wall states in favor of Donald Trump. So
if you're trying to elect Kamala Harris, why in the
world would you make this racial Because and you stop

(22:52):
and think about it initially, right. It is so opposite
doctor King. It is so opposite everything every decent in
person in this country stands for, regardless of race, creed, whatever,
to be making this about race. It should be about merit,
It should be about ideas, It should be about performance.

(23:14):
It shouldn't be about race. That is the opposite of
doctor King. Doctor King was all about non color of skin,
but content of character. But Michelle Obama wants to go
the opposite direction and make this about race. How does
that help Kamala Harris? I mean, think about it, and
I am not suggesting through these statistics and all of

(23:35):
a sudden, white people are going to vote for Trump
and black people are going to vote for Harris.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's not the point.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
The point is to come out in this very this
very direct kind of way, this black presidency equal black
job kind of way, which is to say, presidency is
a white job, presidency is a brown job, presidency is
a black job. Any of that is so anti who
we are as people and anti the goodness of America.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
But just look at the numbers. Okay, Wisconsin, what.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Would you guess Ryan in terms of racial makeup, white
versus black in Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
I have a really good handle on that.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I would think it's a lower percentage of black population
than say Michigan or Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Well you're right about that, Okay, So let's say Michigan.
What do we have in Michigan. I think we have
sixty one twelve in Michigan, sixty one percent white, twelve
percent black in Michigan Wisconsin, which many people think may
decide the race, eighty six percent white, eight percent black.
Pennsylvania latest stats that I can find seventy eight percent white,

(24:43):
ten percent black. And so, first, it's wrong to make
this racial. The presidency isn't a white job a black job.
It's the job for the person with the most merit.
So for her to make it racial, but then make
it racial against that back drop, how does that help
Kamala Harris? Can somebody explain that to me? I think

(25:04):
that undercuts Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
My one working theory based on what you've just laid
out there, Dan, And it's an interesting point is that
Michelle Obama's hatred for Donald Trump exceeds her affinity for
Kamala Harris. And I think that's true of almost every
voter that's going to be voting for Kamala Harris this
time around. She's just blinded by that hate, so she
thought she'd get a dig in. And I don't think

(25:26):
really thought that through the way you just did.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
My friend, you are so generous of spirit. I think
you float around on a cloud each day sometimes with
your halo blind people. I mean, it's a beautiful way
to live, and I admire the heck out of it,
but it's totally naive when it comes to this point.
Because Michelle Obama is brilliant. She's brilliant. Unfortunately she has

(25:48):
a lot of bad policies and ideas should be a
horrible president.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
And I'm sure everybody watching that speech.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Look's agreen with me that we are so lucky that
Biden forced Amla Harris on Obama and the other people
who overthrew him as the nominee, and that they're stuck
with Harris because if it had been Michelle Obama or
Shapiro Whitmer, we'd be in a heap of trouble. But
my friend, you really mean to suggest that somebody that intelligent,

(26:15):
who also has a husband that intelligent again horrible for
this country because of his far left ideology, but very
intelligent that they didn't stop to sing, hmm, okay, we're
about to do something very dramatic. We're about to label
the presidency a black job. How will that impact the
candidacy of our black nominee? You don't think they thought

(26:37):
that through.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
I don't know if they didn't think it through, but
I think that both the speeches were a lot just
they lacked that soaring rhetoric that we've come to associate
I think, at least in this fairytale form to the
Obamas and to Barack in particular, but also to the
image I think that you have had of Michelle that
she might be above that.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
When they go low, you go hi, that sort of mentality.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
What they resorted to were almost like playground childhood taunts
of Donald Trump. I think that was by design Barack Obama.
If you remember Dan, he made a joke about Donald
Trump's manhood as it comes to crowd sizes with a
hand gesture. That drove a lot of response from the
crowd there. And I just think they resorted to some
tactics they almost turned into what they tend to target

(27:24):
Trump for and criticize him for those childhood kind of antics,
and I think that that meant more to them to
get their shots, to get their licks in on Trump,
than do anything to elevate Kamala Harris.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
So I think we're kind of getting a green point.
Yeah right, we're a green on that one hundred percent.
I'm just saying they threw Harris. Michelle Obama in particular,
threw Harris under the bus by making this about race
and whether the presidency is a black job or a
white job, which again is so opposite doctor King, so
opposite any good person. Could you imagine if Donald Trump

(27:56):
or one of his supporters alluded to the presidency is
a white job or a black job. I just think
that she intentionally did something great for her and bad
for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Let me ask you this, do you believe for Oh, I.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Got to hit this break, We'll do it after the break.
Why is Trump gaining so much in the betting markets
during the DNC and Michelle Obama do you think for
one second do you think for one second Michelle Obama wants.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Kamala Harris to win? Let's talk about that. You're on
the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.

Speaker 9 (28:33):
But they are doing so in trying to put forward
male figures, Kim Walls being one of them. Doug m
Hoff last night, who can speak to men out there
who might not be the sort of testosterone Leyden, you know,

(28:54):
gun toting kind of guy who wants to listen to
Paul Cogan and the kind of player that came out
at the RNC or might want to listen to that.
But also, in addition, understand that it's okay in twenty
twenty four to be a man comfortable in his own
skin who supports a woman. And that's something that they

(29:16):
really are trying to work on with male voters beyond
the base.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
This is the single greatest thing I've ever heard Ryan
three decades on air, almost the single greatest thing I've
ever heard.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
So now, the way Dana Bash is trying to justify.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
The Tim Walsh pick is that, oh no, Walts was
picked to appeal to low testosterone males.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Right, So wait a second.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I thought the whole idea of Walls was he's supposed
to save her in the blue Wall States among working whites,
and then oh yeah, wait a second, then they found
out that he's losing working whites in the states where
he's governor. In fact, he lost his own congressional district
that he used to have with working whites, So now

(30:02):
the rationale is shifted. I don't know, Waltswi was picked
to appeal to that critical swing group of low testosterone males.
Now we've heard of soccer moms, right, yeah, but now
it's the low t mails. They are the key swing voters.
Well don't you think they're already in the Democrat camp?
I mean, is this the greatest thing I've ever heard?

(30:26):
And then they throw em hoff in there? Wait a second,
if he's such a low tea mail, how do he
get the babysitter pregnant?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Right, I mean, these people are spinning so badly. But
what she's clearly acknowledging is that these two come across
as something different, Right, Isn't that what she's kind of
acknowledging here?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Not only acknowledging, Dan, I think putting it forward, like
you said, is some kind of attribute that beta males
feel underrepresented out there, which is not a surprise. They
won't stand up for themselves, and that if you are
a testosterone laden, gun toting guy who likes Hull Covin
sounds a lot like well yours truly that maybe we
don't have a place in this campaign.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
It's so stupid because it makes your point of I'm.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
The type of guy, Dan, and I think you were too,
that you were a Democrat. I have voted for Democrats
in the past. When I kept being told that because
I'm white, male, Christian and straight, that I'm the bad guy,
that I did something wrong, even though none of those
things other than being Christian was a choice. It's not
a great sales pitch for a guy like me from
the Upper Midwest that used to be a swing voter

(31:35):
when you're telling me I'm the problem, I'm the bad guy,
I'm part of the patriarchy, you know, I'm a white
supremacist when I'm none of those things.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, I left the Democratic Parties because they said, you
got to glorify killing babies too, and you gotta help
kill babies.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
That's why I love the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Then I found out there was all sorts of stuff
about the Republican Party that was also good. But no,
let think about it. And we're not talking about beta males.
We're talking about Zeta mails, and it right, and maybe
you could kind of live with but the Zeta mail thing.
And that's why during the Republican Convention, remember we talked about, hey,

(32:13):
you know, Hulk Hogan and all this other stuff. This
Republican Convention existed for one purpose, to win Wisconsin. Yeah,
and maybe to win Pennsylvania and Michigan along with it.
But that's what the whole thing was geared to. The
Democratic National Convention is geared to winning Los Angeles, to

(32:35):
winning Chicago. So I think that's one reason why, even
though I don't think betting markets are the best indicator,
there's been an eleven point swing in Trump's favor in
the betting markets.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yep, since the DNC began.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Isn't this also a tacit admission from Dana Bash Dan
that the Hulk Hogan bit worked, that it worked.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yes, And you know what this is, Ryan, have you
ever been up to Boulder and seeing one of these
circular massage rings that forms.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
On the mall?

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, yeah, So that's what this DNC is. It's a
circular massage ring where if you want to win, what
you gotta be doing is you got to be massaging horizontally.
You have to go out and you got to be
massaging others out there, not just massaging yourselves. Right, It's

(33:28):
one big circular massage ring, and that goodness for Trump
it is eight five five zero five A two five
five the number.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Hey, let me get to some of these great Texters.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Dana can't envision a more horrible scenario than getting a
vasectomy at the DNC taco truck then going in to
listen to Kamales Harris, Kamala.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Harris speak, Yeah, who who came up.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
With this great idea of having a portable killing machine
at the dncing guy. But but again, this is how
they lost it in sixteen by glorifying abortion over the top.
But I think that's how they lost Michigan, That's how
they lost Pennsylvania their glorification of late term abortion, particularly

(34:10):
in that third debate. So again, the circular massage that's
just killing them. That's the irony is the Democratic Party
is boarding itself. It's aborting its chances at this DNC
by just all gathering around this altar of abortion and
worshiping it and glorifying it and celebrating it.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Because there are a whole lot of.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
People out there who, yeah, they want abortion to be legal,
but they know it's actually killing, kind of like Phil
Mahersh said, and they sure don't want a party that
glorifies it. Pay that in much more head on The
Dan Kapla Show.
