Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to

and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Americans Saving America,
that's a great gift from the founders, right the ability
to do that peacefully within the system.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
It is happening right before our eyes, and.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's setting up what's going to be one of the
most magical, fulfilling last eighteen or nineteen days of a campaign,
depending on whether you count Election Day itself, that we've
ever lived through. So glad you're here, going to laugh
our heads off. Soon we're going to get to some
more of that sound from last night the Dinner Kamala
Harris double middle fingered Catholics across America by refusing to

(00:45):
go to and then sending a video that mox Catholics.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, that's smart.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
But in the meantime, have this chance to go to
the via ipen line talk to a woman I've been
dying to talk with you talk about Americans Saving America.
Cindy Romero is doing her part because because she got
that video out there of trend dei Ragua, you know,
taking over or in the act of terrorizing that apartment
complex and Aurora, and it cut through the American psyche,

(01:12):
It cut through all the noise. Almost everybody, I think
sow it. And it has become a major part of
the campaign because this is the consequence, one of the many, many,
many terrible consequences of just opening up the border and
not vetting folks. So, Cindy Romero, welcome to the dan
Kapla Show.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, thank you for being you and doing what you did.
But please, Cindy, take it from the top and tell
folks the story of how it came to this point
where these terrible things were happening, and how you captured
the video and what you did once you had that.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
All right, Well, I lived at the edge of Laurie
for four years. Over the last year and a half,
the immigrants to replaced there or migrated they're out of Denver.
They slowly terrorized all the leaseholders out of the building
till I was the last one. Now, over the course
of this year and a half, they escalated. They would

(02:11):
say loud music outside all night, and police wouldn't show up,
so they'd destroy the place and they'd be trash everywhere,
and they'd be beaten on the walls when everybody would sleep.
And they also rode motorcycles up in the building into
the apartments underneath us and would rev them while we
were sleeping, so we would wake up the house with exhaust.

(02:35):
As they escalated, I would escalate. I'd buy more cameras
and I had them mounted on the outside of the building,
outside windows, and I lived on the third floor. As
they slowly started kicking in all the doors to the
empty apartments where they'd run off the lease keepers. They
would live sometimes you know, six eight to an apartment,

(02:55):
these were just one bedroom apartments. As they started creeping
enough our steps, we decided it was time to make
a stand, and we tried to go out there and
prevent them from taking over these two apartments across the
across the walkway from us, and we called the police
over and over again for different incidents is along the way,

(03:18):
so much so that they actually got to recognize my
voice when I called. They would tell us different things
like I'm sorry, we have been kind of handcuffed by
leadership and we're not able to do what we'd like
to do, and maybe you should just move And I'm sorry.

(03:38):
We have to have you know, several officers to report
at any crime over here because it's so dangerous. I've
got many different excuses find nothing could be done. And
also they weren't offering me any help to get out,
just you know, could you move please and make it
a lot easier.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
And then, Cindy, how ingenior of you to put the
cameras up, How exactly did you capture that video that
has now been seered into America's consciousness of all of
those criminals, you know, breaking carrying the guns, breaking the
lock on the door it appeared across from you, and
the terrible things they were doing.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, they have been open carrying all over the property
and intimidating us by sitting in the stairwells as we
would walk up to sit there with their guns out.
We were also giving them things to try to keep
the peace and to keep them from you know, bothering
us or harming us. I've mounted cameras in the doorway.
On the day of the video, I was looking live

(04:41):
through my ring camera on my doorbell, and the other
I had another camera in the corner of the door
that caught everything else live and recorded it. About maybe
ten minutes after that video took place, a great gun
fire broke out and a man was murdered.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Oh my lord, where did that happen?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
This was right outside underneath our bedroom window in the
parking lot. It resulted in twenty five to thirty gunshots
and a hole through my car.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh my lord, Cindy rameril our guest. And then at
some point you reached out to somebody in the media
tell us about that.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
As we were standing outside. My husband and I are
the nineteenth and the day after the murder, the police
were doing their crime scene investigation and Vincent ran As
from the Fox thirty one was standing outside and he
kept trying to talk to us, and I was very angry,
and I'm very bitter because I'd been reaching out to
the media for help and wasn't getting any response. So

(05:45):
when he tried to approach me, I didn't want to
talk to him. And he was like, you say that
you can't get anyone to listen to you. I will
listen to you.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, good God.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I shared him my video and he was able to
connect me with Danielle Darinsky, and the rest resulted in
me moving within ten days and getting out of there. Then,
of course my video went viral, and now I'm finally
getting some results. We've got some arrest made, We've got
some people admitting that this is actually a problem. Of course,

(06:19):
we're dealing with a lot of pushback of people saying
that it's isolated incidents. And I feel like my kind
of threshold for having someone outside your door with guns
breaking into apartments, my threshold is one, yeah, no, there's
and there were six in my video.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Oh my lord. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
And that video has done such a public service just
helping to convey that the truth of what's going on here.
And now you say, and Vincent, who you mentioned from
Fox thirty one, I'm so impressed with I've had contact
with him as he's covered some of the law cases
I've had. I think he's very good. But you say
you had reached out to other media who just blew

(06:57):
you off.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, I tried to read Clark. I had been a
lifelong Democrat, so I reached out to the channels that
I had been watching that were pushing that narrative. And
I didn't realize until this situation, how that could be
worked and used against me. And several of the interviews

(07:19):
that I've been doing that I see the results when
they come out they're not telling the whole truth, or
they tell the truth but then downplay what is actually
going on here. I have pictures of my neighbors being
held at gunpoint.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh man, that there's.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
No time in America that that's okay. There's just no time, never,
never right to downplay it on. The mayor and the
governor and then the police leadership in Aurora have kind
of downplayed it and said, oh, it wasn't that bad. Well,
it was bad to me and it was bad to
all the people that got rented out of my building.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, God, love you first and forward. I mean this,
you did such a profound public service. And please do
keep us posted. If there's anything else you need to
get out there, we'll be happy to help you do that.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I appreciate that. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Thank you soon, No, thank you really appreciate it. And
thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
What you know, if the term great American has passed around,
what a great American? Just that's a true citizen right there.
Cindy Romerol Glad you're here. We're having a lot of
fun on other fronts today as we play the sound
from last night, the El Smith Dinner. It's a huge
event in New York that benefits that Catholic charities and

(08:41):
Catholic causes and people come together across all religious lines
because everybody knows that this is great work that the
Catholic community is doing in New York. Plus, just like
in Denver, if it wasn't for Catholic charities in New
York and the Catholic Church and all the work they
do with the poor and others in need, new York
City falls apart, just like Denver falls apart. So this

(09:03):
dinner is a really big important deal, and Kamala Harris
decides to double middle finger, you know, the Catholic community
and not show up, and then Trump puts on this amazing,
stellar performance. So we'll come back and play these instant
classic jokes if you want to see the whole twenty
eight minutes at Dan Kaplis on Twitter. Now, I don't

(09:25):
think Kamala Harris has the type of intellect.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Even close to be president.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
She does have some smart people around her, and they
have launched a tactic. They've launched a tactic now in
the last twenty four hours or so that is, in
its own awful, dishonest, devious way, a smart tactic. And
it's going to be very important that President Trump not
take the bait. So when we get back, we'll have

(09:50):
a lot of fun. We'll play all those jokes. But
I do want to talk about what they're doing right now,
which is evil, genius kind of stuff. And let's hope
President Trump doesn't go there. You're on the Dan Caplas.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Show and now back to the Dan Tapliss Show podcast.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
I used to think that Democrats were crazy for saying
that men have periods, but then I met Tim Waltz.
But I had better wrap up because Mayor Adams told
me earlier that I needed to make this one very quick,
especially the city has reserved this room for a large
group of illegal aliens coming in from Texas. There's a

(10:30):
group called white Dude for Harris. Have you seen this
White Dude for Harris? Anybody know by some of you
hear white Dudes doesn't sound like it. But I'm not
worried about them at all because their wives and their
wives lovers are.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
All voting familiar.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
A major issue in this racist childcare, and Kamala has
put forward a concept of a plan.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
A lot of people don't like it.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
The only piece of advice I would have for her
the event that she wins, would be not to let
her husband Doug.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
Anywhere near the natties. Just keep them a while. That's
a nasty one. Chuck Schumer is here looking very.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Glum asday looks for it looks lovely as.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
He roped his back.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke
your party has become. If Kamala loses, used to have
a chance to become the first woman president.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Man, that was so great last night, and there's so
much more to get to. Glad you're here.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I want to get back to the.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
MC two, who's a liberal, who's a lefty off of
Saturday Night Live, and he went after Kamala Harris, I
mean just to double middle finger that dinner. In the
Catholic community, I've got my own theory on why I
love to have yours.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
But and you know what, I'm.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Glad she's letting everybody see it right now so Catholics
don't get fooled again by a Democrat.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
The millennial self identified. You're on the Dan Kapla show.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Welcome Dan, Thank you so much for taking my call. Yet,
I just had a quick comment on this whole Al
Smith dinner. You know what I few Kama was trying
to do when they had the whole skit and the
comedian rushes in, It's like they're acting like teenagers. They're
trying to appeal to, like make her look younger and

(12:24):
that she's going to be vigorous and serve out this
whole you know term with no problems. And it's just
like it would be better if it almost denigrates the
real meaning of Catholicism when she does a skit like
that instead of the question about the work Chatholic charities do,
how they support people, it almost denigrates that whole idea.

(12:47):
And I completely agree with you on mat and I
just kind of wanted to add that.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, thank you, Mike, Sure appreciate that very much.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, my own belief is that Kamala Harris has this
personal disdain for cass and if I'm wrong, she can
tell me, she can show it. But my lord, who
goes in and rips on judicial nominees over their membership
in the Knights of Columbus, which is a Catholic service organization.

(13:14):
The prophect does more good in a day for people
in need than she's done in her entire life. I mean,
I think that tells you everything. And then to skip
this dinner, which she knows is going to hurt her politically,
to skip this dinner just to show her disdain and
then send a video that's mocking Catholic school kids. Yeah,

(13:36):
I think it tells you everything. Hey, before the break,
I was telling you about kind of some evil genius
move that the people around Harris are pulling right now.
And I really hope President Trump does not fall for this.
And that is they have launched this new attack in
the last twenty four hours or so that he's not

(13:59):
physically fit for the job, that he's exhausted, he's not
fit to do the job. Now, Listen, they understand that
there isn't one voter in America who's going to believe that.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
They've seen Trump in action, they saw the assassination attempt,
and this is the same Harris who covered up for Biden.
They know that that's not their play. They're not trying
to convince a single voter of that what they're trying
to do is get Trump off his game. They're trying
to get him to change his focus and to be
talking about this rather than talking about the things he's

(14:33):
been talking about, which now have him leading this race.
That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to throw
him off.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Message, and I sure.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Hope he doesn't fall for it. I saw him, Listen,
He's only a human, right, can you imagine being through
what he's been through. But I did see him respond
to it today on a tarmac somewhere, and I really
hope that's the last time, because he's winning because of
this great mess. Well a lot of reasons, right, but
this great message that he has, and the more time
he spends on defense, defending against this BS attack, the

(15:09):
more it hurts him. Get out there, stay on the offensive,
talking about all your great accomplishments, talking about why she's
so patently unqualified. Do not let them throw you off message.
Eight fo five for zero five A two five five
text d an five seven seven three nine. And been
saying it for a long time, right, And it's obviously true.

(15:29):
But it's even more true now than it was yesterday,
and it will be even more true tomorrow, Trump is
pulling away. I think we're very close to that big
break point, that big tipping point where all of a
sudden you get now the bandwagon jumpers, and it can
be people who give money, it can be celebrities. You

(15:51):
see Dave Ramsey endorsed Trump today. That is, in the
words of Joe Biden and the Cogent days, a big
blanket deal because Dave Ramsey has fifteen million different followers.
He's a financial guy, and they cross party lines and
so but my point is we're getting to that tipping
point where you're going to have all these bandwagon jumpers,

(16:12):
and then as it becomes more socially acceptable to openly
support Trump, you're going to have more people doing that.
And this kind of momentum in the final two and
a half weeks of a campaign, Yeah, that's when you
have the opportunity for one of those big wins that
then picks up some Senate seats Congress, gives Trump more
political capital in the second term, starts to unify the

(16:34):
country more than it is right now. That's for darn sure.
So I sure hope President Trump does what he has
traditionally done and finishes strong, because that opportunity is there
right now, and the only way he could lose it, right,
she can't win it. He would have to lose it.
He would have to give it away at this point,
and I don't see him doing that. But please don't
fall for this. Hey, I see they've taken Barack Obama

(16:59):
back out.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah. I guess he was punished.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
For a week or two after assuring black women now,
oh my goodness, well, it wasn't that hilarious. And as
we predicted when they sent him out to campaign for
it was only going to hurt her. And that was
before we even got to him scolding black men for
not supporting her because it must mean your misogynist, not
that she's not a good candidate or that prices went
way up in your life while she was VP. No,

(17:24):
it's because you hate women. And a lot of people
of color were coiled at that. But they've got him
back out there. They've got him back out there now,
he's back out in Arizona, And all I can say
is thank you for that as a guy wants to
see Trump win, because I think it hurts her automatically
by comparison, because Barack Obama had all these terrible ideas,

(17:44):
did all these bad things for America. Right, But he's
a brilliant guy, and he is a very skilled guy.
And when you look at him, it becomes even more
obvious how Kamala Harris is not even remotely qualified.

Speaker 9 (18:00):
This there's no positive sales pitch that includes her.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Dan, It's not Barack Obama.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
But this is what's great about Kamala. It's like, you
black men better vote for her, you ow her.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
And then he just goes out and talks about himself
and he lashes out at Trump.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
And can you imagine at this.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Point, you know how twisted in knots he is over Trump,
knowing that Trump is highly likely to become president again
very soon. And what a repudiation of Obama himself that is.
That's one of the beautiful things. Yet, just fully expose
the left and move on.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
Ball calls are indicating I'm leading big with a Catholic vote,
as I should be, as I should be. But I
don't think Kamala has given up yet.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
She hasn't.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion from
Gretchen Whitmer.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, that is so good.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
And if you're not as we're talking.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
About God, Yeah, that's right. At Dan Caplis on Twitter,
I have that video up. It's still one of the
most bizarre things I've seen in almost thirty years on air.
Governor of Michigan wearing a Harris Walls hat mocking the
Holy Eucharist, that the most sacred sacrament in the Catholic Church,
where we deeply believe to our core that is in
fact the body of Christ.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
In the Eucharist.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
In mocking it by Whitmer putting a dorrito on the
tongue of a kneeling pro abortion blogger, it's just sick,
sick stuff, and obviously Whitmer trying to undermine Harris's campaign.
So many on the left now, including I believe Barack Obama,
Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, they want her to lose. They

(19:43):
know she's going to tank the party in twenty six
and twenty eight. They want her out of the way.
Obama's made it clear they never wanted her to begin with,
for obvious reasons. We'll get to some more of that
great sound. Let's get to some of these texts as well. Dan,
why do you think Kamala not showing up for the
dinner is hurt her campaign. She's already won. The ballots
are being printed right now as we speak. But I

(20:04):
am still going to vote. I understand there are a
lot of good folks out there really concerned about this
election being stolen, and I know they're deeply concerned, and
I know that the GOP is doing an awful lot
to try to ensure election integrity.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
But my hope is that we.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Have a very, very large, resounding Trump victory and then
just get Trump back in office, and I think there'll
be a lot more that can be done to give
people more comfort on election integrity. Dan, and Kamala claims
that Trump is the unstable one. Her video to the
l Smith demonstrates that she is the one who is
mentally unstable. I would respectfully disagree. I don't think she's

(20:49):
mentally unstable. I think that somebody who is that writer Ryan,
They put it so beautifully, she is a canvas that
will not absorb paint, and that's really I don't think
she's meant mentally unstable. I just think whatever it is

(21:10):
with her intellect, I think in certain ways she's obviously
a skilled person, and she has plenty of abilities in
different areas. But when it comes to the type of
intellect you need to be a president or a vice
president or an effective candidate, she is, as the writer said,
like a canvas that will not absorb paint. Dan, you

(21:32):
need a website to link recaps of your top stories. Boy,
that is so true. Thank you for that. And I
think I could probably take one of those two hours
of sleep I get a night and put that website together.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Don't you think you might want to outsource that?

Speaker 8 (21:47):
One?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Is you know, beyond my realm of understanding.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
We all have different gifts. I'm so jealous of the
gifts you have, and not jealous in an improper way,
but I recognize that you and Kelly and others have
gifts I don't have. But I have the gift of
not needing much sleep like Trump. That has been a
great gift. Yeah, without the coke or the diet coke
or whatever he uses, right.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
The diet coke, I've got a button for it, Dan.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I have one cup of coffee a day, just but
that one cup of coffee is enough. Speaking of which,
we're gone.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
We are.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
We have a great date Night Ahead tonight.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know, after a little watching the Broncos last night,
we've got Avalanche tonight.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Wow, we are going to see their first win of
the season.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Sports Extrava games, Yeah, I know those games are so
much fun too, So really looking forward to that, Dan,
Kamela A terrible, horrible, no good, very.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Bad week from Alexa. That is the understatement of the week.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
We know the Lord says vengeance is mine.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
The Dems can keep on mocking Christians, but they will
get their reward Roy from Thornton.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
That's the thing, right.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
I mean, we all know who wins in the end,
and in the meantime we just have to do what
we can do. But you have And it's such a
disconnect between so many Democrats who are such faithful people,
et cetera, to their faith, to the religion, and with
the secular left it owns and operates that party now

(23:18):
that just openly mocks and disdains Catholics and other Christians,
which is what we're clearly seeing from Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
And she's not trying to hide it. She is proud
of it.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's a parody. Lighting up Francis.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
She's referring to Kamala Harris's tape that she made instead
of going to the dinner that openly mocks Catholic school
kids and the Last Supper, et cetera. I don't understand
that parody argument, whatever you want to call it. It's
mocking faith.

Speaker 9 (23:48):
From about twenty years ago or so with Holly Shannon
as math Mary Catherine Gallagher. She's just like an awkward
Catholic girl student, right.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
But my point is, why would you have that sketch,
Why would you do that.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
It's the only arrow in their quiver when it comes
to the Catholic sting.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
But it's still a mocking. It's still a mocking.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
So you've got this Catholic dinner that first you're giving
a middle finger to but not shown up, when all
the candidates always show up except the guy only one
one state, and then you send a video that's mocking
Catholic schoolgirls as putting their fingers under their arm pits
and smelling them and acting bizarre and geeky and all
this other stuff. I just think it was intended to

(24:29):
openly show the disdain, and I don't know, maybe it
is a political calculation that that helps her with some
lefties who may be soft on her Right now, I
think it's just more personal on her part. My own
theory can't prove it is that she knows she has
lost and she's positioning now for life after politics and
being in with the big money secular left that has

(24:52):
control over a lot of media, has control over a
lot of book.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Deals, a lot of think tanks, things like that.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
You just said it, Dan, secular this is become the
Democratic Party, the one that is way a distant memory
for you and would be for your parents. It is
a secular, godless, atheistic party. And it mocks religion, not
Muslim religion, of course, because that wouldn't be politically correct. Well,
that Christians and Jews and Catholics are fair game and

(25:19):
their characters, their cartoons, and that's what we saw with
the Mary Catherine gallery.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
And I think it goes beyond mocking.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
They have to separate people from their faith and forget
to vote, because if you're going to vote your faith
and I'm not talking about Catholics voting for Catholics. Some
of the worst candidates ever out there on Catholic issues
are self identified Catholics. I'm talking about regardless of faith
or no faith at all, people who in office will
act the right way on these key issues of morality

(25:49):
and value in life, etc.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
And so the left nos look at your polis.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
The day after he won the governor's race the first time,
came out and said, you have to keep your vote
faith outside the public square. Ben at the same time,
he was registering Polist for president because he knows if
people vote their faith, they will not vote for the
Democrat candidate. Ben and Castle Pines, you're on the Dan
Kaplis show.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
So there's this active and that's where this mocking of
Catholics comes in. And that's where Kamala Harris can't even
go to the dinner because it would show respect to Catholic.
She can't show respect to Catholics because she has to
convince people that if you're openly Catholic, if you're openly Christian,
that at that point there's something wrong with you, because

(26:32):
if you're going to live your faith openly, you're not
going to be voting for the Democrat.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Ben and Castle Pines, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
Hey, Dan, thanks for having me on the on the show.
I'm feeling your sentiment about this shift towards Trump over
the past couple of weeks, and we're seeing it in
the overseas betting markets and the bleed up in the
US stock market as well.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's a good point.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
But yeah, this Al Smith dinner, though, I'll tell you,
I think you missed the mark on why she did
not attend.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
I don't think it's a religious reason.

Speaker 10 (27:03):
Why was sheington isssends that this dinner is a very
dangerous environment for someone who is not witty, who's not
quick on their feet, who is not humorous. None of
those attributes apply to Kamala Harris. She's joyless in her
campaign at this points, and it would have been a

(27:23):
very it would have been a very poor showing for
her there. I think I think they made a very
strategic decision.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
That she wasn't up to it in that environment.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, that she was not up to it.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Interesting, Ben, Yeah, Yeah, I know that's it.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
And I've got to believe personally, just having seen her
go after judicial nominees because of their Catholic faith, you know,
because of their membership and the Knights of Columbus, I
have to believe that if you're right, and it was
a calculation that she would have bombed there. That part
of it would have been her inability to hide that disdain,

(27:56):
just on a personal level. Two five, five more back
to more great callers and textures in a puff fall.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Tremendous sound from last night.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Now, gotta play this great sound coming off of CNN
with their latest polls and their analyst. It'll put a
smile on your face. You're on the Dankaplas Show.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
And now back to the dan Kapliss Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Here is Harry n Non CNN.

Speaker 11 (28:21):
I think there are a lot of folks, such as myself,
who think that Donald Trump's unpopularity is baked in.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
But here's the deal.

Speaker 11 (28:27):
If you believe that Donald Trump has somehow become less
popular over time, let me change your mind about that.
In fact, he is more popular at this point in
the campaign than he was at this point in the
twenty twenty campaign or the twenty sixteen campaign.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Look, he's still.

Speaker 11 (28:40):
Underwater right with a negative nine point net favorability rating,
but that is higher than he was in twenty twenty
at minus twelve points twenty and nearly one, and it
is way higher than the minus twenty seven net favorability
back in twenty sixteen when he did win. So I
think there's this real question in Kamal Harris's mind, in
the campaign's mind, why is Trump more popular now than
he was at this point in twenty twenty and two
twenty sixteen. And I think that is why you're seeing

(29:01):
the sharpening attacks, because they want to put him back
down here or even there's no way that they're necessarily
getting back down to here, but they want to make
Trump more unpopular than this right now, because he's more
popular now than either point in twenty twenty or twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
And that is CNN and here's more of that. So
this could be what they're saying with regard to moving
with Donald Trump, but could have had something else to
do with it, what they're saying with the with Kamala
Harris or something.

Speaker 11 (29:23):
Yeah, look, Kamala Harris is more popular than Donald Trump,
but Kamala Harris had her popularity rising once, of course,
she became the presumptive Democratic nominee. Look, she was at
minus fifteen points back in July seventeenth, then minus four
points on August seventeenth, than one point on September.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Plus one point.

Speaker 11 (29:39):
She was actually in positive territory a month ago, but
she has fallen back down to minus one. The momentum
of Kamala Harris has stalled, and I think they feel
like they have to change something that's going on in
their campaign because they were seeing a rise and now
it has stalled out. Look, she's still more popular than Trump,
but look, Joe Biden was more popular than Trump, much
more and barely won, and Hillary Clinton was more popular

(30:00):
than Donald Trump and lost. Being more popular than Trump
isn't enough. She wants to continue to see her fivorabilities rise,
but in fact they're going in the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, and they're going to keep going that way because
people are learning the truth about her because a Trump campaign.
We don't see it here, but in the swing states,
they're piling on all these devastating pots spots because it's
Kamala Harris on video coming out of her mouth saying
stuff no sane person could ever support.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
So that's just gonna get worse.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
The only way at this point that she could win
is if Trump gave it away, and I don't think
he's going to do that. He is historically been a
great closer.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Glad you're with us. What a day it's been.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
We've been playing a lot of that super fun sound
from the dinner last night. I want to squeeze in
a couple of the very best highlights from last night
before we wrap it up today.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
And I can't wait to start next week with you.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Think about it will be about two weeks away from
this monumental election, all signs indicating that Trump is winning
and moving toward a point where there may be a
big break in history. So this is going to be
a lot of fun to watch. But as I placed
some of these great lines from last night, please please
please consider this the best sound I heard all day,

(31:12):
the best video I saw. The MSNBC did a focus
group out of Michigan. Every single person in the MSNBC
focus group said they were voting for Trump.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
And nothing could change their mind. Wow.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Think about that. That was an MSNBC focus group in Michigan.
And then this tweet from a prominent New York show
New York area radio host, I think makes a very
important point, says I know it, and it shows a
picture of Trump and Schumer talking very closely and warmly
during the dinner before Trump did his thing, and it

(31:47):
says I know if dinners were Chuck Schumer says he
wouldn't come if Donald Trump would be there, and if
it was something he had to go to, he would
call ahead to make sure he was seated far away
from Trump. Look at the CD agreed to sit in
at the l Smith, meaning right next to Trump, separated
by one seat. He must have looked at the internal
polls and decided to patch things up with Trump. I

(32:07):
also saw Governor Hulkell run over to say a load
to Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
They must know something.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
And I know that's anecdotal, but I think that sort
of thing is often more telling than the poles.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Listen to this one.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
There's a group called white Dudes for Harris.

Speaker 11 (32:22):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 7 (32:23):
White Dudes for Harris? Anybody know? Are some of you
hear white Dudes? It doesn't sound like.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
It, But I'm not worried about them at all because
their wives and their wives lovers.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
Are all voting for me. That's because every one of
those people are outing.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
He had so many good lines and the overall deliveries.
So go to at Dane Kaplis on Twitter. Watch the
whole twenty eight minutes together. There's so much good stuff
in there that didn't make the highlights.

Speaker 7 (32:51):
Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum. Looks c love me.
It looks love.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke
your party has become. If Kamala loses, you used to
have a chance to become the first woman president.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Was less.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Let's go the full lines, Tony and Rocksboro, You're on
the Dan Kaplis Show.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Welcome.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Hi. Two things. First of all, we have to look
at the Kamala non show as a good sign, because
last one did that lost. Ryan said that Muslims don't
get made fun of because it's politically incorrect. I argue

(33:46):
that they don't get made fun of because whoever dares
make fun of them lives with a thread of death.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I would not see Kamala Harris doing any of this
to the Muslim community, to our Jewish brothers and sisters,
and I'm glad you wouldn't. It shouldn't be done to anybody.
But the fact that so many of these lefties just
they advertise their disdain for Catholics and other Christians. It's
that there is no question what's at stake here, right,

(34:17):
And my hope is and I truly believe Ryan it's
happening before our eyes, and last night will be another
step in that direction. You have so many, for example, Catholics,
tremendous people, faithful people. They voted Democrat habitually.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Over the years. They have this negative.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Stereotype of the GOP, and so they tend to block
out stuff that might cause.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Them to vote against Democrats.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
But more and more that the secular left run Democratic
Party makes it impossible for good Catholics and Christians to
vote for them, and I think we're reaching a tipping
point there too, Ryan, great job. Thank you as always, Kelly,
you're the best. To have a great weekend.
