Speaker 2 (00:14):
Most important political debate of.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Our lifetime, but not as important as you might think.
It'll certainly be the most watched daty four point four
million before that first Trump Clinton in sixteen. I think
this will eclipse that by a lot. The big question
for you will there be more people watching at the
beginning or the end? So how do you think this
is going to roll out? What do you want to
see Trump do? What will he do for those of
(00:38):
us who just joined for those of you who just
joined us, thank you for that. And I'm going to
touch on something I did earlier, but then move on
to some fresh points. And the reason I touch on
it is I think it's so important and you're not
going to hear it anywhere else, even though I think
it's provably true. And that is that the reason CNN
(01:00):
and that hit piece on Kamala Harris last night, and
it was premeditated, deliberate, well researched. It was time specifically
for the night before the debate, because the information they
relied on a questionnaire she filled out for the ACLU
in twenty nineteen, has been around for a while. But
they are looking to undermine her. Why because Barack Obama
(01:20):
and other prominent Dems want her to lose. They want
her to lose because they know that she will be
a horrible president and will undermine the Democratic Party in
the midterms. She'll lose in twenty eight and there are
no Supreme Court seats likely to be picked up in
this term anyway, So they are looking at a Harris
presidency as a disaster. And I think that's why CNN
(01:44):
ran that piece yesterday, And if you missed it, CNN
was reporting on the kind of facts that they know
should cause her to lose. And CNN knows that by
reporting those facts themselves, the Trump campaign now can take
that CNN story, break it down, package it up, and
run it in the Swing States as CNN reporting, which
(02:08):
makes it even more devastating to Harris. But no matter
who reports it, when CNN is reporting that Kamala Harris
favors legalizing crack, legalizing fentanyl, legalizing meth. Yeah, in the
words of Joe Biden, that's a big blanket deal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The question from the ACLU was, since drug use is
better addressed as a public health issue through treatment and
other programming, will you support the decriminalization at the federal
level of all drug possession for personal use? And Harris
answers yes, Now what would that mean? Will it mean
the federal all all drug possession. That's not just marijuana,
(02:48):
which she alluded to in her answer to this question,
but it also would mean ye, cokayin and things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, Listen, CNN have to emphasize an in case the
viewers missing it, that includes crack, right. I mean, so
CNN is looking to do her harm and if there's
any doubt about that, listen. This is Aaron Burnett earlier
in the report, making sure viewers aren't missing this. Hey,
Kamala Harris is so wacky she wants inmates to get
(03:20):
transgender surgery on your dime, on the taxpayer dime. That's
how wacky she is.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
This questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot. In time of
that twenty nineteen Democratic primary, Kamala Harris was trying to
get to the left of Bernie Sanders. She was trying
to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren, and you
really see that in a lot of these answers. And
I want to walk our viewers through a little bit
of what she said. Let's just take immigration and look
at what she said here. She said on immigration, she
(03:46):
made this open ended pledge to end immigrant attention. She
said she supported taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
She also said she's tax.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pair funded gender transition surgeries for detainment.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Or Dechaine Mike actually said she wrote that Rowan and
answered in the affirmative when she was asked this, and
she said she also supported it for federal prisoners.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, so they're trying to bury her. They timed it
for the night before the debate to get more attention,
to try to force it to be part of the
debate tonight. Listen. They want the Democrats to succeed, They
want the Republicans to fail. They just know that a
Paris presidency is going to be a disaster that undermines
the Democratic Party for years to come. All righty, let
(04:30):
me get a few of my key points in on
the debate. We'll go to calls and text as well. Immigration, immigration, immigration.
President Trump has to hammer that throughout the night tonight.
And I expect Ryan, do you expect I expect President
Trump tonight because listen to win tonight. You don't need
(04:52):
Harris to melt down or any of that. ABC is
going to protect her. That isn't going to happen. You
just need to be really good. And being really good
includes fresh ideas that cut through the clutter. And so
Donald Trump, I expect him to come out tonight and
call for mass deportation, to call for deportation of everybody
here illegally.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And do you think we'll see that tonight, Ryan, I do.
And I think it comes down to one word tonight,
and that's chops.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You do this show on a daily basis. You've been
doing it now for the last several years. Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has been cutting his eye, teeth, chops, getting
his rhythm ready, doing interviews, appearances, hits, non traditional podcasts
with younger audiences. He is sharp, He is ready to go.
(05:41):
Kamala Harris has done one softball sit down interview as candidate.
She does not have the chops. She is not ready.
She has not taken the cuts in the batting cage,
so to speak, to get up there to the plate
and deliver Roy Hobbs home run tonight. She can't do
it because she's not ready, because she didn't prepare for
this moment. And the only way to prepare for this moment, Dan,
(06:02):
you know, whether it's in this setting as a host
or as a lawyer in the courtroom, if you haven't
tried a case in a long, long time, you're going
to be rusty. You're not going to have your chops.
She's not going to have it tonight. She can't just
create them out of whole cloth, out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, especially when you're coming in line, when you're coming
in claiming what you really believe is not what you
really believe, even though you're on record as saying you
really believe it's so. But listen, she's already been declared
the winner. We will wake up tomorrow to the headlines
that declare the winner should be declared the winner after
the debate tonight. None of that matters. Trump doesn't have
to win the debate. He just has to win the voter.
(06:38):
And so it's all in my mind. So much of
this is about President Trump having his a game and
being able to deliver the message. Clearly, he's got the
winning message because he had the winning performance in office,
and so I think we'll hear the mass deportation. I
think that we have to keep in mind this is
(06:59):
one of the few times ever that this country as
a whole will convene, as somebody said, I mean for
a super Bowl, right, but we'll probably have one hundred
million people watching tonight. So this is why it's an
opportunity for Trump to put her away.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But again, I.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Don't think he can lose it tonight, because she's so
bad and there's so much out there on her that
he can still come back and win it even if
he has a bad night tonight. I personally expect to
have a very good night. So it's a hinge debate,
right If he is hinged instead of unhinged, he wins,
and he will be hinged. He will be hinged tonight. Listen,
(07:39):
this is a guy extending Ryan's point. This is a
guy who's so quick mentally and has so much presence
and poisoned courage that seconds after having his ear shot
and coming under active fire and bleeding, he's able to
jump up and compose himself and say fight, fight, fight. Yeah,
I expect a very good performance from him tonight. Listen
(08:05):
in terms of key points tonight, and this is where
you've got to avoid the danger of diffusion, right. He
has so many points he can hit. If it sounds
like just regular old talking points to people, they'll tune out.
You know, that's the way we're all wired. But a
few key points to make. He is the peace president.
(08:27):
It's a matter of fact. It's a matter of record.
If you want peace, vote for Trump. If you want war,
vote for them. Mass deportation that has a lot of
appeal in America today, I think, no matter how he
does it, he has to throughout the entire debate hammer immigration.
ABC is going to try to gloss over it with
the question or two. He has to bring almost everything
(08:50):
back to closing the border, which is not at all racist.
It's not to disparage people south of the border. It's
just to make the point that a we can't have
a whole if we don't have doors. We have to
know who's here. And obviously, by choosing to leave the
border open, you allow an awful lot of very dangerous
people to enter with the other good people so it
(09:11):
is a winning issue. He has to continually hit on
the border, has to hit that now here, come on,
and I know we have to take this break. I'll
get to the calls after that text thanks for your patients.
You know it, you know it from your own life.
Fresh matters. So a key to winning tonight is to
come up with things people haven't heard before. To come
(09:35):
up with ideas, with proposals, with directions that would really
make people's lives better. And again, stuff they haven't heard
or considered before. That that's what can really change the
course of a race. And I've got four specifics I
want to run by you quickly when we come back.
But I think your immediate reaction, because that's what really
(09:57):
matters most, right, how you feel about it, and that's
what's going to impact viewers the most. I think your
immediate reaction is gonna be, oh, yeah, hey, that's great,
that's that's exciting, that's fresh, that's new. You're on the
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Here's fainng Fang fan Eric Swawell.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
What in the hell is this? The chairman tweets protect
our ducks and kittens in Ohio because he goes some down,
goes down some crazy rabbit hole completely debunked that aliens
are eating hats.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He's got one of the greatest memes ever up there
of Trump, I think, riding on a cat, you know,
protecting ducks and geese. But but you know what's so
interesting in there? Look at it now, truly, and we
have so many exhibits to prove this. But the left,
from Biden Poulus hole group, they really think people are stupid.
(11:00):
So do you hear the word he used aliens? Aliens?
So now Eric Swollwell and the left referring to those
here illegally as aliens. Oh right, And yeah, no, it's
it's a remarkable transformation that nobody with the brain is
going to buy. But it does tie into what President
Trump tweeted just a couple of minutes ago. And and
(11:23):
I'll describe this as best I can for you, but
is Trump is flying in for the debate because Harris
has been at the venue since three point thirty mountain time, right,
and things starts at seven mountain time at Trump just
rolls in on the plane a few minutes ago, which
I love his style. But as he's on the plane
heading toward the debate. He tweets this fantastic kind of
(11:49):
photo art of him in his plane looking straight ahead,
looking really serious. He's in the same suit that he's
wearing tonight, the same tie looks great, by the way.
This and he's got a duck and a cat on
his lap. And then the whole plane is full of
ducks and cats and so.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
This, yeah, I mean, I love it. And the Left's
goone crazy over this. That's why it's so good to it.
I want all the Trump cat and duck means. I'd
want them to never end.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And this is why the left's terrified of it, right
because they know immigrations the number one issue, the whole
open boarding border thing of Biden Harrison. If there's one
thing people know, Trump will close the border. He did
a great job of improving on that before. So they
know a story like this, and I don't know if
the stories are true or not, but a story like
(12:41):
this that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating family pets,
they know a story like that just cuts through the clutter.
It grabs America's attention, It leads to all these different means.
It's water cooler conversation. Nobody's standing around the water cooler
saying what do you think about that so called bipartisan
border bill. But you can bet everybody's around the water
(13:02):
cooler saying to you, hear they're eating pets. Yeah, so
Democrats are terrified of this. Here's one thing, and I'm
gonna play a series of these. We know that Trump
will not say tonight, will not say tonight in his
own voice, just.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Like me, you are a very stable genius.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He's not going to say that to her tonight. He's
not going to say this, You're an absolute superstar.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Is gonna be huge, just huge.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
He's not gonna say that. And he's not going to
say this, You're.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
More magnificent than a unicorn flying through a rainbow.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Not gonna say that tonight. This is a great thing
that I keep on my desk, says, think positive.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You are capable, and you are botan.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It was actually a gift from my wife.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But yeah, it's nice of her that, considering how she
feels about the Orange Man.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think I gave it to her first, and she
regifted gift. But here and let me get to the
whole nights. But some of the fresh points that I
teased coming into this segment that President Trump can make
tonight is she is not a legitimate nominee. She didn't
get any votes. But here's the fresh point, and whether
(14:12):
he says it to her directly, and I think he
should address some questions to her directly, or he asked
the moderators to ask her. She needs to tell us
who deposed Biden and who installed her. The American people
need to know who deposed the guy who was elected
and who installed her. That's a fresh thought, cuts through
(14:34):
the noise, and it's the kind of thing people will
remember and say, yeah, you know what, that does matter.
We've never seen this before. He's no taxes on Social Security.
We can talk about the policy piece of that, but
that's been out there a little bit. But tonight that'll
seem like a fresh idea to an awful lot of people.
To make America healthy again. Now that RFK is in
(14:56):
his camp and is actively campaigning on that and is
known or for that kind of push. You know that
the make America healthy again again, that's fresh. It's kind
of goes beyond the normal partisan type stuff. And here's
one he better direct this tour he better ask the
moderators directed to her, Hey, just tell us right now,
just tell us right now, you know, should boys be
(15:19):
allowed in girls showers? Should boys be allowed in girls' bathrooms?
Tell us right now, tell us right now? Should boys
be allowed in girls' sports? And that's the kind of
thing you can bet a lot of Americans across party lines.
Remember most Democrats, they they all democrats, I would say,
love their kids more than their political party. Pin her
(15:39):
down on that. Should should somebody with a penis? Pardon
the expression, should somebody with the penis be able to
walk into a girls shower? Just pin her down on that.
You don't have to use that word, but pin her
down on that. Dot and Fort Collins, you're on the
Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Welcome, Hey, Dan. One thought goes back to immigration, and
I think, first of all, Trump needs to smile more.
In a couple of debates, he's been kind of, you know,
kind of had that frown on his face, which sometimes
he has, but I know that he has a great smile.
I would love to see him smile more. I think
(16:16):
it puts people at ease and more that are watching him.
But in terms of immigration, at one point I believe
I heard him say something to the effect that we
need to have mass deportation with all of the people
that are bad guys. But then I thought I heard
him say something about there may be some leniency about
(16:37):
a family that came here and maybe be treated a
little differently. Did you ever hear that?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'm thinking about that, don I can't remember whether I
heard that qualifier from him. I wouldn't be surprised to
hear the qualifier. Listen. I think enormous winner for him tonight,
and and he can say and let's find out right now.
You know, as Kamala Harris, she says she's changed a
lot of positions, says, change this one. I Donald Trump,
I will have a mass deportation of everybody who came
(17:05):
here illegally and has committed other crimes. Kamala Harris, will
you agree to that? I mean, I think he could
just say mass deportation in general and have a lot
of appeal. Now, I'm not saying that we endorse that policy,
but I think that there's tremendous appetite for that in
America across party lines, and a lot of people who
would never admit it but would want it.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I think Dan, You're right, But I do think that
for some of the people it would be refreshing to
know that he that have some empathy for some people
that are here that are not the real bad guy.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And I think that is the right way to be,
and it is the right way to govern, and it
is the right way to say it. But I think
he has to make it very clear that he is
committed to mass deportation of everybody who came here illegally
and has committed other crimes here, and I think he
needs to take that position. I think he will take
(18:05):
that position and then challenge her. Does she agree or disagree?
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You better thank a union member.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
One the five day work week. You better thank a
union member for sick leave.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You better thank a union.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Member for paid leave.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You better thank a union member for vacation time.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
With us in government, we campaign with the plan.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Uppercase t uppercase.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
P the plan, And so what accent are we going
to get tonight? I mean, that's that's what I'm looking
forward to most. Well, they're in Philly, right and the
point being She's just such a phony, right, And that's
one reason why Trump can put it away tonight. He
can put it away tonight. She cannot win tonight. Even
(19:03):
if he has a bad night, he can still win
the presidency because she is so awful in terms of
her crazy far left ideology, her lack of skills, that
he could have a horrible night and still win the presidency.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
He won't.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I think he's going to have either a good night
or a great night. But he could put her away tonight.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two to
five five the number because Americans, come on, Americans have
good radar, and we all know, right, and especially you
talk about the Upper Midwest, et cetera. People know who's
phony and who's real. And she is probably the single
(19:38):
most phony person we've had as a presidential nominee in
American history. Right, She's not even a legitimate nominee. You know,
the guy who got the votes was deposed. She was
installed in the dark of Knight in a backroom deal.
I mean, she's not even a legitimate nominee. And she's
a phony on top of that, who can't even do
a real interview in six weeks no. Americans get it.
(20:02):
They get it. That's why the stage is set. He's
only human, right, we all have no matter how well
we prepare, we have good knights and bad nights and
okay nights and great nights. He rolls into night and
has a great night. It is over. He rolls in
tonight and has a good night. It's probably over. He
rolls in as a bad night. Still a good chance
he wins the election.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I think I'm following up on a point that you
made maybe a week ago, Dan, but I think Trump
would be wise to just turn this heat right on
Kamala in terms of why is she even there? Say
Joe Biden, he didn't want to leave this race. He
said this on the campaign trail a few times. And
I believe it's an effective line of attack. And just
look right at her and go, who installed you as
the candidate? Kamala? Why are you standing her?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And That's what I've been saying day after day is
and this is why listen. It needs to be appropriate,
It needs to be controlled, but it needs to be
control aggression. He cannot afford to be anything other than
on offense rightnot. He cannot concede. He cannot concede stature
(21:06):
to her because she doesn't deserve any I mean, Barack
Obama deserves stature, Hillary Clinton deserves stature, Joe Biden deserves stature.
She should not. That should not be conceded to her.
She didn't win a single vote. She was installed in
the dead of night in a backroom deal. So don't
(21:27):
concede that to her. Try to pin her down, Try
to make the moderator's question, Hey, Americans at least deserve
to know who deposed Biden, who installed you. Americans have
to be able to factor that in because they're not
just electing you, they're electing the people who installed you. Because, yeah,
she do not concede that point to her, And I
(21:51):
think again, it has to be respectful, none of this idiotic,
dumb or stupid name calling. But on merit, on merit,
he's got to be on the offensive. He has to
be directing questions to her. He has to be asking
the moderator to direct questions to her. Yeah, all of that,
none of the childish stuff, right, none of the interruptions
(22:15):
or this or that. But you can be on offense,
You can be appropriately aggressive without slipping into childish stuff.
Or name calling. So yeah, I do not want to
see him neutered. I don't want to see him on
his heels. I want to see him appropriately appropriate controlled aggression.
(22:38):
And by aggression, I don't mean anything inappropriate. I just mean, Hey,
this is not ping pong, this is not Wimbledon. The
future of this country is at stake. The lives of
countless ducks and kittens are at stake.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And so yeah, what line of attack Dan? To your
point specifically on this, could either the moderators or even
herself throw a trump that he hasn't heard before and
hasn't had to deal with before. I don't think there
is one. I don't think there's one left.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, there'll be something. There's always something, right, give me
an example, Well, how can I because we haven't.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, but there's always something. I don't think there's anything
he's going to hear that he's not heard before. There
will be something, suckers and losers, the whole stupid thing
Biden did.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
There There will be something.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
There always is.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But here's the key. He's gonna have plenty of fresh
stuff for her. I mean, where he could just come
out and say things that obviously appeal to the American people,
and just say, do you agree with me on that?
In the past, you've said legalized crack, legalized fentanyl. Do
you agree with me those drugs should be illegal? You
know it just things like that. Do you agree with
(23:46):
me that nobody, nobody with a penis should be allowed
in a girl's shower? Do you agree with me on that?
Do you agree that boys should not play girls sports?
I mean, yeah, I just want to see him on substance,
be aggressive, not name calling, not personal, but on substance
be aggressive. Now, I think it's perfectly fine as part
(24:09):
of that appropriate aggression to point out that she doesn't
have the basic capabilities to be president. You got to
lean forward on that. Don't concede that. Okay, we're both
major party nominees, so somehow we're up here on equal footing,
no blanket way. No, she doesn't have the basic capabilities,
(24:31):
which is why she didn't get a single vote in
either Democratic primary. Anybody who has to hide from a
friendly press and not give an interview the entire time
after they've been installed doesn't have the basic capability to
be president. So when you go on offense, when you're aggressive,
it has to be true. It has to be substantive,
(24:53):
it has to be true. But all these points are
and so the only way he could lose, right, there
are only two ways he could lose big tonight, and
that doesn't mean he loses for good. But one would
be to pull the kind of personal nonsense, interrupting stuff
and I know muted mikes, but expect ABC to change
that during the debate. By the way, is the stuff
(25:14):
he did in the first debate with Biden, which is
really unfortunate because early ballots went out just after that.
But remember he had COVID at the time. He's only human.
Came back with the good second debate, So that's one
way he could lose tonight. The only other way he
could lose tonight is to not lean forward, is to
not be aggressive, is to just sit back out of
(25:36):
fear of offending some people know that the reason he's
going to win is because a whole lot of people
who do not normally vote, and they're going to turn
out record numbers for him because he's not a typical
politician and he's willing to tell it like it is.
And so even if they disagree with them on some issues,
like I disagree with him on some pretty big issues.
(25:58):
But I'm still willing to support because of the stuff
I agree with them on and because obviously she would
be a disaster. But yeah, if he all of a
sudden gets neutered by his well, Trump's never going to
have any handlers, right. But if he changes his normal
approach and he is too sanguine. Is that the word, rind,
(26:19):
I've never used it in my life before. Yeah, thank you,
that's the first time. And hey, almost three decades on air.
I said, well, then if he's too sanguine, that's how
he loses. Yeah, but I expect he's going to have
a good night, and he may just flat out have
a great night. Is there going to be a KAO
of her? No, because ABC is going to protect her.
(26:41):
There would have been no ko of Biden if CNN
protected him, but they wanted him out of the race.
Eight five five for zero five A two five five
will come back. We'll devote the last segment to our
tremendous Texters. And another thing Trump won't say to her tonight.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
You make life plate again.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, she's not going to say that to her tonight. Now,
Biden called Harris, what do you think was said during
that call, and that was today about the debate. What
do you think what advice do you think Biden gave her?
You're on the Dan CAPLA Show. Let's start with Carolyn Broomfield.
You're on the Dan CAPLA Show.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Welcome, Hi Dan, first time caller, longtime listener. Listen, I
have this You know how Kamala has all these words, salats,
these quotes that she says off and on. Yes, well
she has one that says, we can see what we
(27:41):
can be unburdened by what has been. We can see
what can be unburdened by what has been. Well you
look it up. That's Marxist incantation.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And Carol, you don't have to infer, I mean, come
right out and said she favors guaranteed equal outcome, not
guaranteed equal opportunity, which is a core communist principle. Right,
And I'm not labeling her a communist or this or that,
but the point is, as a matter of fact, she
supports guaranteed equal outcome. That is a core communist principle.
(28:20):
Mark in Denver, You're on the Dan KAPLA Show.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Welcome, and now back to the Dan kaplas.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Listener, I'm a republic I'm going to vote for Trump,
but I think you're giving people the wrong advice tonight. Okay,
at least a couple of points please. First of all,
I don't think Trump should say I think so and so.
Do you agree with me? I would do so and so.
Do you agree with me? Because if she says yes,
(28:47):
that makes that point just go away. You ought to
just say I think so and so, and I would
do so and so, and don't give her a chance
to get away. Secondly, and most important, all this stuff
about how did you get elected? You didn't win any primaries,
you only blah blah blah blah. She is, in fact
the nominee, and I don't think he should waste any
(29:08):
time on that. He should just simply say, what is
your record? What have you accomplished in three and a
half plus years? You say you're in the last person
in all of those meetings, so you agreed with him?
What have you accomplished? What have I accomplished? What will
I accomplish?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But Mark, let me ask you this though, So you
think if Trump says to her, hey, nobody with boy
parts should be in a girl's bathroom. Do you agree
with me? You think she's going to agree.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Let's see. I think it doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You don't think that makes a difference to people, my friend.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Let me finish. Let me finish the answer to your question.
If she does not agree, she's shot herself in the foot.
If she does agree, the point goes away. It doesn't
make any difference because people know she's going to change
your mind no matter what she says, with all the
things she's changed already, you should just say that's wrong.
(30:07):
Boys shouldn't go on girls' bathroom period.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Okay, appreciate the call, Thank you, my friend. I think
that's an issue that matters to a ton of Democrat
parents and let alone unaffiliated and Republican people with penises
should not be in girls' bathrooms or showers. And there
is no way in the world she's going to agree
with Trump on that.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think that's one of those crystallizing issues for people.
Let's get to some texters. Dan, does Sonny in the
bathroom think Trump will win the debate? Is he alluding
to you there, Kelly? Oh, Dan, that's an old throwback reference.
I remember it when you were on site.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, I do think Trump will
win the debate.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, I have confidence. Yes, No, I think you should,
Dan and Ryan. I like your last caller suggestion that
Trump smiled more during debate. Not only would viewers appreciate it,
I think few sincere smiles might possibly throw Kamala off. Yeah, no,
I think it'd be great too. My point though, is
(31:09):
what are people hiring him to do? Right, They're hiring
him to protect this nation. They're hiring him because he's
a strong man. And I mean that in all the
best ways. And all I'm saying is be yourself. And
Trump himself is a strong, aggressive guy. And that's why
a lot of people who don't like him are going
to vote for him, because they want him on the wall.
(31:31):
They need him on the wall. Colonel Jessup, Dan, of course,
my friend, thank you and Dan. Not only that, the
pets and ducks and geese killings will get the younger
people to start voting for Trump. Yeah, there could be
some big breakthrough there. To see that billboard that just
went up in Arizona, the Arizona GOP. It's a spin
(31:52):
off on the Chick fil A billboards, and it said
eat fewer kittens anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So vote Republican. Yeah, well, right, right.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Dan, I missed the days we're the only cat eatinga anyway.
That gets too long, but it goes along the cat
eating theme, Dan, and I said it before. You and
Ryan should be part of the Trump advisors team. You
guys have excellent ideas to win the election. Thank you, Texter.
But I don't think President Trump necessarily has any advisors
other than maybe family, right. I think he listens to Don.
(32:26):
I think he listens to Eric. I think he listens
to Ivanka. I'm sure to Milania.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I would say Larry Kudlow on the economy he listens
to very closely.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, okay, Dan, I disagree with you on the Obamas
et cetera, wanting her to lose. They hate Trump and
have too much to lose. They will pack the Supreme
Court with multiple dis in that, and then it gets longer.
Thank you from ross that text. My basic premise is this,
and we start with what cannot be denied. Biden wants
Harris to lose, right. Biden wants the people who deposed him,
(32:56):
humiliated him to fail. That's why he pushed Harris to
that spot, because she has the best chance to lose,
but CNN launching that devastating attack on Harris yesterday with
her own words.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
No.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think that's because high ranking Democrats, starting with Obama,
know that a Haarris presidency is going to do so
much harm to the Democratic Party. They'll get wiped out
in the midterms. They'll lose for sure in twenty eight
All this so called talent they have sitting on the
bench will be put on ice for eight years because
(33:33):
she doesn't have the skills. She's horrible. So I think
they want her to lose for the sake of the
Democratic Party. I think they also believe that if Trump wins,
that it's going to be easier for the Democrats to
stay together and stay focused and raise money attacking Trump.
Then it's going to be trying to defend Harris's failures.
(33:55):
So that's the I think the overarching dynamic right now.
So anyway, can't wait to get together tomorrow. Apologies to
everybody we didn't get to today. I think Trump's going
to have at worst a good night, and could easily
have a great night. He could put this thing away tonight.
There's no way he could lose the election tonight. Because
she's just that bad. Ryan, thank you for our great work. Kelly,
(34:17):
you're the best. Can't wait to get together with you
tomorrow to break all of this down on The Dan
Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Most important political debate of.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Our lifetime, but not as important as you might think.
It'll certainly be the most watched daty four point four
million before that first Trump Clinton in sixteen. I think
this will eclipse that by a lot. The big question
for you will there be more people watching at the
beginning or the end? So how do you think this
is going to roll out? What do you want to
see Trump do? What will he do for those of
(00:38):
us who just joined for those of you who just
joined us, thank you for that. And I'm going to
touch on something I did earlier, but then move on
to some fresh points. And the reason I touch on
it is I think it's so important and you're not
going to hear it anywhere else, even though I think
it's provably true. And that is that the reason CNN
(01:00):
and that hit piece on Kamala Harris last night, and
it was premeditated, deliberate, well researched. It was time specifically
for the night before the debate, because the information they
relied on a questionnaire she filled out for the ACLU
in twenty nineteen, has been around for a while. But
they are looking to undermine her. Why because Barack Obama
(01:20):
and other prominent Dems want her to lose. They want
her to lose because they know that she will be
a horrible president and will undermine the Democratic Party in
the midterms. She'll lose in twenty eight and there are
no Supreme Court seats likely to be picked up in
this term anyway, So they are looking at a Harris
presidency as a disaster. And I think that's why CNN
(01:44):
ran that piece yesterday, And if you missed it, CNN
was reporting on the kind of facts that they know
should cause her to lose. And CNN knows that by
reporting those facts themselves, the Trump campaign now can take
that CNN story, break it down, package it up, and
run it in the Swing States as CNN reporting, which
(02:08):
makes it even more devastating to Harris. But no matter
who reports it, when CNN is reporting that Kamala Harris
favors legalizing crack, legalizing fentanyl, legalizing meth. Yeah, in the
words of Joe Biden, that's a big blanket deal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The question from the ACLU was, since drug use is
better addressed as a public health issue through treatment and
other programming, will you support the decriminalization at the federal
level of all drug possession for personal use? And Harris
answers yes, Now what would that mean? Will it mean
the federal all all drug possession. That's not just marijuana,
(02:48):
which she alluded to in her answer to this question,
but it also would mean ye, cokayin and things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, Listen, CNN have to emphasize an in case the
viewers missing it, that includes crack, right. I mean, so
CNN is looking to do her harm and if there's
any doubt about that, listen. This is Aaron Burnett earlier
in the report, making sure viewers aren't missing this. Hey,
Kamala Harris is so wacky she wants inmates to get
(03:20):
transgender surgery on your dime, on the taxpayer dime. That's
how wacky she is.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
This questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot. In time of
that twenty nineteen Democratic primary, Kamala Harris was trying to
get to the left of Bernie Sanders. She was trying
to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren, and you
really see that in a lot of these answers. And
I want to walk our viewers through a little bit
of what she said. Let's just take immigration and look
at what she said here. She said on immigration, she
(03:46):
made this open ended pledge to end immigrant attention. She
said she supported taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
She also said she's tax.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pair funded gender transition surgeries for detainment.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Or Dechaine Mike actually said she wrote that Rowan and
answered in the affirmative when she was asked this, and
she said she also supported it for federal prisoners.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, so they're trying to bury her. They timed it
for the night before the debate to get more attention,
to try to force it to be part of the
debate tonight. Listen. They want the Democrats to succeed, They
want the Republicans to fail. They just know that a
Paris presidency is going to be a disaster that undermines
the Democratic Party for years to come. All righty, let
(04:30):
me get a few of my key points in on
the debate. We'll go to calls and text as well. Immigration, immigration, immigration.
President Trump has to hammer that throughout the night tonight.
And I expect Ryan, do you expect I expect President
Trump tonight because listen to win tonight. You don't need
(04:52):
Harris to melt down or any of that. ABC is
going to protect her. That isn't going to happen. You
just need to be really good. And being really good
includes fresh ideas that cut through the clutter. And so
Donald Trump, I expect him to come out tonight and
call for mass deportation, to call for deportation of everybody
here illegally.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And do you think we'll see that tonight, Ryan, I do.
And I think it comes down to one word tonight,
and that's chops.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You do this show on a daily basis. You've been
doing it now for the last several years. Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has been cutting his eye, teeth, chops, getting
his rhythm ready, doing interviews, appearances, hits, non traditional podcasts
with younger audiences. He is sharp, He is ready to go.
(05:41):
Kamala Harris has done one softball sit down interview as candidate.
She does not have the chops. She is not ready.
She has not taken the cuts in the batting cage,
so to speak, to get up there to the plate
and deliver Roy Hobbs home run tonight. She can't do
it because she's not ready, because she didn't prepare for
this moment. And the only way to prepare for this moment, Dan,
(06:02):
you know, whether it's in this setting as a host
or as a lawyer in the courtroom, if you haven't
tried a case in a long, long time, you're going
to be rusty. You're not going to have your chops.
She's not going to have it tonight. She can't just
create them out of whole cloth, out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, especially when you're coming in line, when you're coming
in claiming what you really believe is not what you
really believe, even though you're on record as saying you
really believe it's so. But listen, she's already been declared
the winner. We will wake up tomorrow to the headlines
that declare the winner should be declared the winner after
the debate tonight. None of that matters. Trump doesn't have
to win the debate. He just has to win the voter.
(06:38):
And so it's all in my mind. So much of
this is about President Trump having his a game and
being able to deliver the message. Clearly, he's got the
winning message because he had the winning performance in office,
and so I think we'll hear the mass deportation. I
think that we have to keep in mind this is
(06:59):
one of the few times ever that this country as
a whole will convene, as somebody said, I mean for
a super Bowl, right, but we'll probably have one hundred
million people watching tonight. So this is why it's an
opportunity for Trump to put her away.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But again, I.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Don't think he can lose it tonight, because she's so
bad and there's so much out there on her that
he can still come back and win it even if
he has a bad night tonight. I personally expect to
have a very good night. So it's a hinge debate,
right If he is hinged instead of unhinged, he wins,
and he will be hinged. He will be hinged tonight. Listen,
(07:39):
this is a guy extending Ryan's point. This is a
guy who's so quick mentally and has so much presence
and poisoned courage that seconds after having his ear shot
and coming under active fire and bleeding, he's able to
jump up and compose himself and say fight, fight, fight. Yeah,
I expect a very good performance from him tonight. Listen
(08:05):
in terms of key points tonight, and this is where
you've got to avoid the danger of diffusion, right. He
has so many points he can hit. If it sounds
like just regular old talking points to people, they'll tune out.
You know, that's the way we're all wired. But a
few key points to make. He is the peace president.
(08:27):
It's a matter of fact. It's a matter of record.
If you want peace, vote for Trump. If you want war,
vote for them. Mass deportation that has a lot of
appeal in America today, I think, no matter how he
does it, he has to throughout the entire debate hammer immigration.
ABC is going to try to gloss over it with
the question or two. He has to bring almost everything
(08:50):
back to closing the border, which is not at all racist.
It's not to disparage people south of the border. It's
just to make the point that a we can't have
a whole if we don't have doors. We have to
know who's here. And obviously, by choosing to leave the
border open, you allow an awful lot of very dangerous
people to enter with the other good people so it
(09:11):
is a winning issue. He has to continually hit on
the border, has to hit that now here, come on,
and I know we have to take this break. I'll
get to the calls after that text thanks for your patients.
You know it, you know it from your own life.
Fresh matters. So a key to winning tonight is to
come up with things people haven't heard before. To come
(09:35):
up with ideas, with proposals, with directions that would really
make people's lives better. And again, stuff they haven't heard
or considered before. That that's what can really change the
course of a race. And I've got four specifics I
want to run by you quickly when we come back.
But I think your immediate reaction, because that's what really
(09:57):
matters most, right, how you feel about it, and that's
what's going to impact viewers the most. I think your
immediate reaction is gonna be, oh, yeah, hey, that's great,
that's that's exciting, that's fresh, that's new. You're on the
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Here's fainng Fang fan Eric Swawell.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
What in the hell is this? The chairman tweets protect
our ducks and kittens in Ohio because he goes some down,
goes down some crazy rabbit hole completely debunked that aliens
are eating hats.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He's got one of the greatest memes ever up there
of Trump, I think, riding on a cat, you know,
protecting ducks and geese. But but you know what's so
interesting in there? Look at it now, truly, and we
have so many exhibits to prove this. But the left,
from Biden Poulus hole group, they really think people are stupid.
(11:00):
So do you hear the word he used aliens? Aliens?
So now Eric Swollwell and the left referring to those
here illegally as aliens. Oh right, And yeah, no, it's
it's a remarkable transformation that nobody with the brain is
going to buy. But it does tie into what President
Trump tweeted just a couple of minutes ago. And and
(11:23):
I'll describe this as best I can for you, but
is Trump is flying in for the debate because Harris
has been at the venue since three point thirty mountain time, right,
and things starts at seven mountain time at Trump just
rolls in on the plane a few minutes ago, which
I love his style. But as he's on the plane
heading toward the debate. He tweets this fantastic kind of
(11:49):
photo art of him in his plane looking straight ahead,
looking really serious. He's in the same suit that he's
wearing tonight, the same tie looks great, by the way.
This and he's got a duck and a cat on
his lap. And then the whole plane is full of
ducks and cats and so.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
This, yeah, I mean, I love it. And the Left's
goone crazy over this. That's why it's so good to it.
I want all the Trump cat and duck means. I'd
want them to never end.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And this is why the left's terrified of it, right
because they know immigrations the number one issue, the whole
open boarding border thing of Biden Harrison. If there's one
thing people know, Trump will close the border. He did
a great job of improving on that before. So they
know a story like this, and I don't know if
the stories are true or not, but a story like
(12:41):
this that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating family pets,
they know a story like that just cuts through the clutter.
It grabs America's attention, It leads to all these different means.
It's water cooler conversation. Nobody's standing around the water cooler
saying what do you think about that so called bipartisan
border bill. But you can bet everybody's around the water
(13:02):
cooler saying to you, hear they're eating pets. Yeah, so
Democrats are terrified of this. Here's one thing, and I'm
gonna play a series of these. We know that Trump
will not say tonight, will not say tonight in his
own voice, just.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Like me, you are a very stable genius.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He's not going to say that to her tonight. He's
not going to say this, You're an absolute superstar.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Is gonna be huge, just huge.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
He's not gonna say that. And he's not going to
say this, You're.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
More magnificent than a unicorn flying through a rainbow.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Not gonna say that tonight. This is a great thing
that I keep on my desk, says, think positive.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You are capable, and you are botan.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It was actually a gift from my wife.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But yeah, it's nice of her that, considering how she
feels about the Orange Man.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think I gave it to her first, and she
regifted gift. But here and let me get to the
whole nights. But some of the fresh points that I
teased coming into this segment that President Trump can make
tonight is she is not a legitimate nominee. She didn't
get any votes. But here's the fresh point, and whether
(14:12):
he says it to her directly, and I think he
should address some questions to her directly, or he asked
the moderators to ask her. She needs to tell us
who deposed Biden and who installed her. The American people
need to know who deposed the guy who was elected
and who installed her. That's a fresh thought, cuts through
(14:34):
the noise, and it's the kind of thing people will
remember and say, yeah, you know what, that does matter.
We've never seen this before. He's no taxes on Social Security.
We can talk about the policy piece of that, but
that's been out there a little bit. But tonight that'll
seem like a fresh idea to an awful lot of people.
To make America healthy again. Now that RFK is in
(14:56):
his camp and is actively campaigning on that and is
known or for that kind of push. You know that
the make America healthy again again, that's fresh. It's kind
of goes beyond the normal partisan type stuff. And here's
one he better direct this tour he better ask the
moderators directed to her, Hey, just tell us right now,
just tell us right now, you know, should boys be
(15:19):
allowed in girls showers? Should boys be allowed in girls' bathrooms?
Tell us right now, tell us right now? Should boys
be allowed in girls' sports? And that's the kind of
thing you can bet a lot of Americans across party lines.
Remember most Democrats, they they all democrats, I would say,
love their kids more than their political party. Pin her
(15:39):
down on that. Should should somebody with a penis? Pardon
the expression, should somebody with the penis be able to
walk into a girls shower? Just pin her down on that.
You don't have to use that word, but pin her
down on that. Dot and Fort Collins, you're on the
Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Welcome, Hey, Dan. One thought goes back to immigration, and
I think, first of all, Trump needs to smile more.
In a couple of debates, he's been kind of, you know,
kind of had that frown on his face, which sometimes
he has, but I know that he has a great smile.
I would love to see him smile more. I think
(16:16):
it puts people at ease and more that are watching him.
But in terms of immigration, at one point I believe
I heard him say something to the effect that we
need to have mass deportation with all of the people
that are bad guys. But then I thought I heard
him say something about there may be some leniency about
(16:37):
a family that came here and maybe be treated a
little differently. Did you ever hear that?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'm thinking about that, don I can't remember whether I
heard that qualifier from him. I wouldn't be surprised to
hear the qualifier. Listen. I think enormous winner for him tonight,
and and he can say and let's find out right now.
You know, as Kamala Harris, she says she's changed a
lot of positions, says, change this one. I Donald Trump,
I will have a mass deportation of everybody who came
(17:05):
here illegally and has committed other crimes. Kamala Harris, will
you agree to that? I mean, I think he could
just say mass deportation in general and have a lot
of appeal. Now, I'm not saying that we endorse that policy,
but I think that there's tremendous appetite for that in
America across party lines, and a lot of people who
would never admit it but would want it.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I think Dan, You're right, But I do think that
for some of the people it would be refreshing to
know that he that have some empathy for some people
that are here that are not the real bad guy.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And I think that is the right way to be,
and it is the right way to govern, and it
is the right way to say it. But I think
he has to make it very clear that he is
committed to mass deportation of everybody who came here illegally
and has committed other crimes here, and I think he
needs to take that position. I think he will take
(18:05):
that position and then challenge her. Does she agree or disagree?
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You better thank a union member.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
One the five day work week. You better thank a
union member for sick leave.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You better thank a union.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Member for paid leave.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You better thank a union member for vacation time.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
With us in government, we campaign with the plan.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Uppercase t uppercase.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
P the plan, And so what accent are we going
to get tonight? I mean, that's that's what I'm looking
forward to most. Well, they're in Philly, right and the
point being She's just such a phony, right, And that's
one reason why Trump can put it away tonight. He
can put it away tonight. She cannot win tonight. Even
(19:03):
if he has a bad night, he can still win
the presidency because she is so awful in terms of
her crazy far left ideology, her lack of skills, that
he could have a horrible night and still win the presidency.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
He won't.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I think he's going to have either a good night
or a great night. But he could put her away tonight.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two to
five five the number because Americans, come on, Americans have
good radar, and we all know, right, and especially you
talk about the Upper Midwest, et cetera. People know who's
phony and who's real. And she is probably the single
(19:38):
most phony person we've had as a presidential nominee in
American history. Right, She's not even a legitimate nominee. You know,
the guy who got the votes was deposed. She was
installed in the dark of Knight in a backroom deal.
I mean, she's not even a legitimate nominee. And she's
a phony on top of that, who can't even do
a real interview in six weeks no. Americans get it.
(20:02):
They get it. That's why the stage is set. He's
only human, right, we all have no matter how well
we prepare, we have good knights and bad nights and
okay nights and great nights. He rolls into night and
has a great night. It is over. He rolls in
tonight and has a good night. It's probably over. He
rolls in as a bad night. Still a good chance
he wins the election.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I think I'm following up on a point that you
made maybe a week ago, Dan, but I think Trump
would be wise to just turn this heat right on
Kamala in terms of why is she even there? Say
Joe Biden, he didn't want to leave this race. He
said this on the campaign trail a few times. And
I believe it's an effective line of attack. And just
look right at her and go, who installed you as
the candidate? Kamala? Why are you standing her?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And That's what I've been saying day after day is
and this is why listen. It needs to be appropriate,
It needs to be controlled, but it needs to be
control aggression. He cannot afford to be anything other than
on offense rightnot. He cannot concede. He cannot concede stature
(21:06):
to her because she doesn't deserve any I mean, Barack
Obama deserves stature, Hillary Clinton deserves stature, Joe Biden deserves stature.
She should not. That should not be conceded to her.
She didn't win a single vote. She was installed in
the dead of night in a backroom deal. So don't
(21:27):
concede that to her. Try to pin her down, Try
to make the moderator's question, Hey, Americans at least deserve
to know who deposed Biden, who installed you. Americans have
to be able to factor that in because they're not
just electing you, they're electing the people who installed you. Because, yeah,
she do not concede that point to her, And I
(21:51):
think again, it has to be respectful, none of this idiotic,
dumb or stupid name calling. But on merit, on merit,
he's got to be on the offensive. He has to
be directing questions to her. He has to be asking
the moderator to direct questions to her. Yeah, all of that,
none of the childish stuff, right, none of the interruptions
(22:15):
or this or that. But you can be on offense,
You can be appropriately aggressive without slipping into childish stuff.
Or name calling. So yeah, I do not want to
see him neutered. I don't want to see him on
his heels. I want to see him appropriately appropriate controlled aggression.
(22:38):
And by aggression, I don't mean anything inappropriate. I just mean, Hey,
this is not ping pong, this is not Wimbledon. The
future of this country is at stake. The lives of
countless ducks and kittens are at stake.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And so yeah, what line of attack Dan? To your
point specifically on this, could either the moderators or even
herself throw a trump that he hasn't heard before and
hasn't had to deal with before. I don't think there
is one. I don't think there's one left.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, there'll be something. There's always something, right, give me
an example, Well, how can I because we haven't.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, but there's always something. I don't think there's anything
he's going to hear that he's not heard before. There
will be something, suckers and losers, the whole stupid thing
Biden did.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
There There will be something.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
There always is.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But here's the key. He's gonna have plenty of fresh
stuff for her. I mean, where he could just come
out and say things that obviously appeal to the American people,
and just say, do you agree with me on that?
In the past, you've said legalized crack, legalized fentanyl. Do
you agree with me those drugs should be illegal? You
know it just things like that. Do you agree with
(23:46):
me that nobody, nobody with a penis should be allowed
in a girl's shower? Do you agree with me on that?
Do you agree that boys should not play girls sports?
I mean, yeah, I just want to see him on substance,
be aggressive, not name calling, not personal, but on substance
be aggressive. Now, I think it's perfectly fine as part
(24:09):
of that appropriate aggression to point out that she doesn't
have the basic capabilities to be president. You got to
lean forward on that. Don't concede that. Okay, we're both
major party nominees, so somehow we're up here on equal footing,
no blanket way. No, she doesn't have the basic capabilities,
(24:31):
which is why she didn't get a single vote in
either Democratic primary. Anybody who has to hide from a
friendly press and not give an interview the entire time
after they've been installed doesn't have the basic capability to
be president. So when you go on offense, when you're aggressive,
it has to be true. It has to be substantive,
(24:53):
it has to be true. But all these points are
and so the only way he could lose, right, there
are only two ways he could lose big tonight, and
that doesn't mean he loses for good. But one would
be to pull the kind of personal nonsense, interrupting stuff
and I know muted mikes, but expect ABC to change
that during the debate. By the way, is the stuff
(25:14):
he did in the first debate with Biden, which is
really unfortunate because early ballots went out just after that.
But remember he had COVID at the time. He's only human.
Came back with the good second debate, So that's one
way he could lose tonight. The only other way he
could lose tonight is to not lean forward, is to
not be aggressive, is to just sit back out of
(25:36):
fear of offending some people know that the reason he's
going to win is because a whole lot of people
who do not normally vote, and they're going to turn
out record numbers for him because he's not a typical
politician and he's willing to tell it like it is.
And so even if they disagree with them on some issues,
like I disagree with him on some pretty big issues.
(25:58):
But I'm still willing to support because of the stuff
I agree with them on and because obviously she would
be a disaster. But yeah, if he all of a
sudden gets neutered by his well, Trump's never going to
have any handlers, right. But if he changes his normal
approach and he is too sanguine. Is that the word, rind,
(26:19):
I've never used it in my life before. Yeah, thank you,
that's the first time. And hey, almost three decades on air.
I said, well, then if he's too sanguine, that's how
he loses. Yeah, but I expect he's going to have
a good night, and he may just flat out have
a great night. Is there going to be a KAO
of her? No, because ABC is going to protect her.
(26:41):
There would have been no ko of Biden if CNN
protected him, but they wanted him out of the race.
Eight five five for zero five A two five five
will come back. We'll devote the last segment to our
tremendous Texters. And another thing Trump won't say to her tonight.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
You make life plate again.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, she's not going to say that to her tonight. Now,
Biden called Harris, what do you think was said during
that call, and that was today about the debate. What
do you think what advice do you think Biden gave her?
You're on the Dan CAPLA Show. Let's start with Carolyn Broomfield.
You're on the Dan CAPLA Show.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Welcome, Hi Dan, first time caller, longtime listener. Listen, I
have this You know how Kamala has all these words, salats,
these quotes that she says off and on. Yes, well
she has one that says, we can see what we
(27:41):
can be unburdened by what has been. We can see
what can be unburdened by what has been. Well you
look it up. That's Marxist incantation.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And Carol, you don't have to infer, I mean, come
right out and said she favors guaranteed equal outcome, not
guaranteed equal opportunity, which is a core communist principle. Right,
And I'm not labeling her a communist or this or that,
but the point is, as a matter of fact, she
supports guaranteed equal outcome. That is a core communist principle.
(28:20):
Mark in Denver, You're on the Dan KAPLA Show.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Welcome, and now back to the Dan kaplas.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Listener, I'm a republic I'm going to vote for Trump,
but I think you're giving people the wrong advice tonight. Okay,
at least a couple of points please. First of all,
I don't think Trump should say I think so and so.
Do you agree with me? I would do so and so.
Do you agree with me? Because if she says yes,
(28:47):
that makes that point just go away. You ought to
just say I think so and so, and I would
do so and so, and don't give her a chance
to get away. Secondly, and most important, all this stuff
about how did you get elected? You didn't win any primaries,
you only blah blah blah blah. She is, in fact
the nominee, and I don't think he should waste any
(29:08):
time on that. He should just simply say, what is
your record? What have you accomplished in three and a
half plus years? You say you're in the last person
in all of those meetings, so you agreed with him?
What have you accomplished? What have I accomplished? What will
I accomplish?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But Mark, let me ask you this though, So you
think if Trump says to her, hey, nobody with boy
parts should be in a girl's bathroom. Do you agree
with me? You think she's going to agree.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Let's see. I think it doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You don't think that makes a difference to people, my friend.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Let me finish. Let me finish the answer to your question.
If she does not agree, she's shot herself in the foot.
If she does agree, the point goes away. It doesn't
make any difference because people know she's going to change
your mind no matter what she says, with all the
things she's changed already, you should just say that's wrong.
(30:07):
Boys shouldn't go on girls' bathroom period.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Okay, appreciate the call, Thank you, my friend. I think
that's an issue that matters to a ton of Democrat
parents and let alone unaffiliated and Republican people with penises
should not be in girls' bathrooms or showers. And there
is no way in the world she's going to agree
with Trump on that.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think that's one of those crystallizing issues for people.
Let's get to some texters. Dan, does Sonny in the
bathroom think Trump will win the debate? Is he alluding
to you there, Kelly? Oh, Dan, that's an old throwback reference.
I remember it when you were on site.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, I do think Trump will
win the debate.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, I have confidence. Yes, No, I think you should,
Dan and Ryan. I like your last caller suggestion that
Trump smiled more during debate. Not only would viewers appreciate it,
I think few sincere smiles might possibly throw Kamala off. Yeah, no,
I think it'd be great too. My point though, is
(31:09):
what are people hiring him to do? Right, They're hiring
him to protect this nation. They're hiring him because he's
a strong man. And I mean that in all the
best ways. And all I'm saying is be yourself. And
Trump himself is a strong, aggressive guy. And that's why
a lot of people who don't like him are going
to vote for him, because they want him on the wall.
(31:31):
They need him on the wall. Colonel Jessup, Dan, of course,
my friend, thank you and Dan. Not only that, the
pets and ducks and geese killings will get the younger
people to start voting for Trump. Yeah, there could be
some big breakthrough there. To see that billboard that just
went up in Arizona, the Arizona GOP. It's a spin
(31:52):
off on the Chick fil A billboards, and it said
eat fewer kittens anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So vote Republican. Yeah, well, right, right.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Dan, I missed the days we're the only cat eatinga anyway.
That gets too long, but it goes along the cat
eating theme, Dan, and I said it before. You and
Ryan should be part of the Trump advisors team. You
guys have excellent ideas to win the election. Thank you, Texter.
But I don't think President Trump necessarily has any advisors
other than maybe family, right. I think he listens to Don.
(32:26):
I think he listens to Eric. I think he listens
to Ivanka. I'm sure to Milania.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I would say Larry Kudlow on the economy he listens
to very closely.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, okay, Dan, I disagree with you on the Obamas
et cetera, wanting her to lose. They hate Trump and
have too much to lose. They will pack the Supreme
Court with multiple dis in that, and then it gets longer.
Thank you from ross that text. My basic premise is this,
and we start with what cannot be denied. Biden wants
Harris to lose, right. Biden wants the people who deposed him,
(32:56):
humiliated him to fail. That's why he pushed Harris to
that spot, because she has the best chance to lose,
but CNN launching that devastating attack on Harris yesterday with
her own words.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
No.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think that's because high ranking Democrats, starting with Obama,
know that a Haarris presidency is going to do so
much harm to the Democratic Party. They'll get wiped out
in the midterms. They'll lose for sure in twenty eight
All this so called talent they have sitting on the
bench will be put on ice for eight years because
(33:33):
she doesn't have the skills. She's horrible. So I think
they want her to lose for the sake of the
Democratic Party. I think they also believe that if Trump wins,
that it's going to be easier for the Democrats to
stay together and stay focused and raise money attacking Trump.
Then it's going to be trying to defend Harris's failures.
(33:55):
So that's the I think the overarching dynamic right now.
So anyway, can't wait to get together tomorrow. Apologies to
everybody we didn't get to today. I think Trump's going
to have at worst a good night, and could easily
have a great night. He could put this thing away tonight.
There's no way he could lose the election tonight. Because
she's just that bad. Ryan, thank you for our great work. Kelly,
(34:17):
you're the best. Can't wait to get together with you
tomorrow to break all of this down on The Dan
Kapla Show.
