about it, Donald Trump has never been in more danger
than he is right now. And that's saying a lot,
(00:22):
right for a guy who survived miraculously. I do believe
in divine intervention. I think it happened there miraculously in
Pennsylvania and then also in Florida, two assassination attempts. By
the way, Ryan, did you hear I'm not sure I
heard it right at the top? I think I did.
Did ABC News at the top refer to this assassin,
this would be assassin as quote a man who had
(00:44):
a gun at Trump's Florida golf course. I think that's
how he referred to him at the time. I mean,
if that's correct, it's just what exhibit triplesz in just
how insidious and dishonest these people are. But anyway, think
about it, think about the extraordinarily profound danger he is
in right now. As as right now, it's got to
(01:07):
be clear, It's been clear to anybody listening to this show,
because I've set it and backed it up for a
long time. But right now it's got to be clear
to anybody paying attention that Donald Trump is on track
to win a second term and Kamala Harris can't win.
Only Donald Trump can lose unless he blows it in
some spectacular way. He's going to get a second term,
(01:27):
which I believe ratchets up the danger incredibly for him.
And it was already stunningly high. And part of the
reason it was stunning lee high, as we've talked about
for years here is he had the courage to protect
this nation by ordering ordering the killing of Solomoni, the
Iranian terrorist general, and Trump knew that that would then
(01:50):
put an even bigger target on his back and in
fact around his promise to assassinate him ironically at his
golf course. They put out a video. But then the
Biden administration confirmed after the Pennsylvania assassination attempt that yes,
the administration knew before Pennsylvania that Iran was trying to
kill Trump. So right now you've got this cross swords
(02:10):
moments where moment where his enemies and start with Iran,
but certainly as other nation state enemies because he stands
up to them. Kamala Harris is their fantasy, their dream
as a weak president of the United States. You know,
whether you're talking to Iran, China, the iatolus Putin, they
(02:31):
of course they would want Kamala Harris as president. They
can just prey on her weakness. The last thing they
would want would be Donald Trump. And so it's just
this very dangerous moment for him let alone, let alone,
you know, all of these other psychos and wackos and
haters who want to kill him. And it's against that backdrop.
(02:52):
And I'd love to get your take on this. This
is fresh news against that backdrop that DOJ to release.
I don't know if they released the whole letter or
excerpts from a letter that this would be assassin Ruth
had written and obviously before the assassination attempt, and part
(03:14):
of the letter addressed to quote the world. So he
wants a broad audience for this quote. This was an
assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But I failed you. I
tried my best and gave it all the gumption I
could muster. It is up to you now to finish
the job, and I will offer one hundred and fifty
thousand to whomever can complete the job. So why would
(03:40):
DOJ release a letter from the failed assassin promising one
hundred and fifty thousand to whoever can now go out
and assassinate Trump? Is this just admirable candor? I mean, remember,
we couldn't what was it, Ryan, I don't think we
could get We never did get the tapes, did we
(04:01):
of Biden's interview with special counsel her? Nope? Yeah? So
is this just an incredible burst of generous candor? Yeah? Hm,
So they release a letter where the failed assassin offers
one hundred and fifty thousand to whoever can complete the job.
(04:24):
But listen, when you've got nation states like Iran after
you and they know you are just a few weeks
now from getting a second term, and think about what
happened to Iran under Trump. Think about what happened to Russia.
Russia didn't go into Ukraine under Trump. They went under Obama,
they went under Biden, Harris, they didn't go under Trump.
So they think about what was happening in China getting
(04:46):
hammered with these tariffs from Trump. Yeah, a very very
dangerous time for the president. So hopefully all of us
who believe very deeply in prayer will employ that here.
Hopefully the government will give the president full and absolute protection,
because I think at this point Iron stops at virtually
(05:07):
nothing to try to eliminate Trump before election day eight
five five or zero five A two five five the number.
What do you think of this? I haven't seen the
verbatim statement, and you can't trust CNN, but they've got
a headline up Trump Colan Catholics who vote for Harris
should have quote head examined. What do you think of that?
(05:28):
Love to get your take on in text d An
five seven, seven thirty nine had a great caller, Josh
from Wheatridge at the end of last hour, and he
had a very fair and important question. I happen to
be Catholic myself, very pro life, and it was, Hey,
you know, is it a tough call for Catholics now
that Trump and the GOP have backed up someone right
to life? And I said, oh, man, that disappoints me,
(05:49):
but it's still the easiest call in the world because
obviously with Harris and the left, you just get a
literal killing machine. They glorify it, they fund it, they
want to promote it, they want more of it. And
think about that, everyone who cares about people of color,
they take such delight in maximizing the numbers of a
practice of killing that kills five blacks for every white.
(06:13):
Can you get a more racist and effect policy than that?
And nobody should be killed? Yeah? Craziness, But no for Catholics,
it's an easy call, right because and everybody who cares
about life, regardless of religion. Because with Trump he wants
to leave the decision to the people of each state.
With Harris, she wants to take that away from the
(06:34):
people of the states and just have ROW codified nationally,
let alone funding of the death Star, etc. Which Harris
and the left would do with great glee, and Trump
will not do so. No very easy call. I think
that Trump and the GOP are wrong to soften on
this issue, where the GOP has others a very nobly
(06:56):
stayed very strong such as how about this one Ryan governor.
Governor Kemp in a classic swing state takes a very firm,
strong position in favor of life. Six week hertbeat Bill
and he wins in a landslide over a heavily funded
Democrat opponent. I mean that's just one example. Run DeSantis
(07:17):
in Florida, strong position, Abbot in Texas, strong position, all
these folks winning. So I wish the GOP had not softened,
but still an easy, far better choice than the left.
I want to get to some text as well. We'll
get those in, but you've got to hear some of this.
Just great, immediate, instant, classic sound of the day. I
don't know that anything gets better than this. What do
(07:40):
you think was going on in the Harris camp when
they heard this sound from Tim Walls? We can't afford
four more years of this?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The Trump camp now that the problem is the danger
of diffusion, a bounty of riches, saying do you run
this and say you know, I'm Donald Trump and I
approve this message. What do you do with that? And
then of course we know Harris out there now begging
for another debate and President Trump so far resisting. And
remember after the debate that the second debate, but the
(08:11):
one with Harris, and everybody said Trump lost, and I said,
wait a second. He missed a lot of opportunities. That's
very frustrating. He could have done so much better, but
he still won because winning is doing what you have
to do to win the presidency. She beat expectations because
they were so low in ABC bubble Raptor, but she
lost because she didn't do what she needed to win
(08:32):
the presidency. And her now openly begging for a second
debate just proves that. Right does anybody in the right
mind believe that if she had done what she needed
to do to win, that she'd want this second debate.
But here's the latest from her on that jind me
on the debate stage.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Let's have another debate. This more to talk about, and
that voters of America deserved they hear the conversation that
I think we should be having on set says, on issues,
on policies, what's your plan, what's my plan?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why didn't you do that the first time instead of
just taunting him with like, oh, you have small debate
crowds and they get bored and they leave here. The
last thing, obviously Harris wanted to talk about in that
first debate was policy, substance, et cetera. That's why I
said as soon as it ended she lost. She had
one chance to explain to the American people how she's
(09:21):
different than Biden. She didn't even try to. She had
one chance to explain why she's allegedly changed her positions.
She didn't even try to. And now she knows she's sunk.
So no, Trump's going to be smart and not give
it to her. How about under the New York Times
own polling, the big swings. They had hair Us up
five in Arizona a month ago, now Trump's up five.
(09:43):
They had Trump's now up four in Georgia based on
New York Times, and Trump's up three in North Carolina
based on New York Times. And they had hair Us
up two a month ago. So the writing's on the wall.
They're right, can't trust the New York Times, and this
whole polling may just be you play. So they come
out with a new poll in a week or two
and say Harris is back in the lead. Kamalamentum, you
(10:05):
know all that garbage. But listen the proof she knows
she's trending to defeat now is begging for this second debate.
Eight five for zero five eight two five five the number.
So Lensky implicitly campaigning for Harrison Pennsylvania today on the
US dime. What do you think about that, more of
(10:26):
our troops to the Mid East. And when Trump says,
quote Catholics who are supporting Harris should have their head examined,
do you agree with them? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
This election is about the economy. This election is about
the border.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's what it is. And I am your border president,
your border president. Kamalo would be your invasion president. Please,
President Trump, that was perfect. Stay on message each of
these critical areas, right, the economy, the border, war in
(11:04):
peace crime. Yet, just stay on these messages, right, message, right, temperament.
Forty two more days. Got a second turn, and I
don't think it'll be by an inch. I I think
it'll be a comfortable win if President Trump pursues that strategy.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(11:27):
If you just joined us, thank you. There is so
much going on, Just allow me fifteen seconds on sports. First,
let's start with the Broncos. I think that's the real
Broncos team and I can't wait for the rest of
this season. That's a playoff team. Second, let's talk about
CEU buffs. I mean, just as a guy who's been
hundreds of buff games, former student body president and all
that good stuff, I can tell you that's just one
(11:49):
of the top five games ever at folsom And how
good is Shador Sanders Ryan? Who has ever had You
can't even call these hell mary's. It's the whole rosary? Now,
who has ever had two hell marya. He's back to
back where he throws this perfect hell mary pass right
in the receiver's arms and he drops it. Okay, that happens,
throws another one five seconds later, the guy catches it,
(12:10):
and then you win in ot so just a glorious win.
I think it will propel them to a bowl game
and beyond good win for CSU. And got to tell
you I was up up there in that stadium for
the CUCSU game. That is a beautiful stadium they now
have up there in Fort Collins, and hopefully great days
ahead for them as well. All right, let's get back
(12:30):
to the life and death stuff. There is so much
fun out there today. Kamala Harris now pretty much openly
begging Trump for a second debate, which he's widely refusing.
And love your take on how we should respond to
her constant barbes. But she's begging for it because she
knows she blew the first one, didn't answer America's questions,
and now there's no other opportunity because the only other
(12:52):
way to try to get there right is interviews, and
she just does not have that skill. So she is
stock turning down the l Smith Thinner, which is this
big Catholic fundraising where traditionally, you know, the presidential candidate
from each party goes, they get together, it's kind of
a roast, and she's turning that down because again, she
(13:13):
doesn't have the ability. She just doesn't have the mental
capacity to do that sort of thing. I'm not saying
she's dumb or stupid, she just doesn't have the particular
kind of intellect it takes to be president, because if
you did, you could do an event like that, and
she can't. So it's really going to hurt her and
hurt her with Catholics, and whoever wins the Catholic vote
normally wins the presidency, and that's particularly true when you've
(13:36):
got the Blue Wall States involved. Speaking of which, Ryan,
this mayor of a city in Michigan, I've never heard
of he happens to be Muslim endorsing Trump. A big deal,
not a big deal. What city is that anyway?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Well, I look up some details. Here is the first
time I'm hearing about it. Yes, Muslim mayor Trump, let's
do that majority of Michigan cityt me see here. Oh no,
let's talk about it really quick. Ham Trammick used to
be exists, right, and if you see it, you're welcome
for me showing you how to pronounce it, because you
(14:11):
look at it, you're not going to think am Trammick.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's how you say it.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
It's a Polish little village within the city of Detroit
used to be. Now it's largely Muslim. And for the mayor,
Amir Ghalib here to endorse Trump, I think that is
big because it shows that in the Muslim community, which
the Democrats have been taking for granted, and they've been
trying to, you know, bifurkate their position in Gaza, to
try to placate the far left elements in Dearborn. But
(14:37):
I'll tell you they're not a monolith, just like any
other group that the Democrats try to do that to
and put them in at a silo I think this
is telling that there is some daylight in the Muslim
community that they respect Donald Trump. The strength of Donald Trump,
they know he brings order and peace and it won't
be the chaos that we've been seeing in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Well A anything that helps in Michigan, right, because Michigan
itself is still close and doesn't need Michigan. If he
wins Pennsylvania doesn't need Michigan. If he wins Wisconsin, maybe
doesn't need Michigan, Dan, says a Texter to da n
five seven seven three nine. Why would any Catholic Jew,
oil men or gun owner vote for Harris? I would
pose a broader question, why would anybody? And I know
(15:17):
that sounds simplistic, but think about it for a second.
Why would anybody vote for Harris? And this comes down
to I know there's some text asking me, well, what
do you think, Dan? Do you agree with Trump that
that a Catholic who votes for Harris should have is
head examined. My own words that the way I would
put it is that I think a Catholic who votes
(15:40):
for Harris is voting against his own self interest. And
and you know, I always come back to this question,
and I'm not claiming I apply it perfectly to my life.
Obviously I don't. But I come back to this question,
what would Jesus do you know? And I apply that
to the vote as well. Did Jesus vote for here?
(16:01):
And I don't think any candidate has to be perfect,
because obviously Trump is not. It has to be perfect
that for me to at least believe that Jesus would
vote for him. But who would Jesus vote for here?
And you know, you start with talking about voting against
self interest. You start with the left right now, which
is absolutely determined to undermine religious liberty, and it would
(16:22):
seem for anybody of any faith, including the Catholic faith,
that should be a pretty big disqualifier right out of
the gate. And then obviously you have the life issue
where the left right now, and it's out of touch
with a good chunk of cat of Democrats too. The
left right now is just so absolutely worshiping of and
devoted to the mass killing of humans before birth, and
(16:45):
disproportionately by a five to one rate, blacks before birth.
And how in the world, I don't know how anybody
can vote for that, let alone somebody of faith. So yeah,
lots of different reasons why. I think it's just a
vote against self interest, which brings me back to this question,
why would anybody vote for Harris? Whose interest is it in?
(17:06):
Unless you run an abortion clinic, right, unless you work
for planned parenthood, and you know, it's just your financial
interest is the most important thing in you to your life,
no matter what. But even there, you could make the
case even if you own and operate plan Parenthood, and
you're going to get more and more of this government money,
and they'll be more and more killing and all this,
(17:26):
and that it's still not in your self interest to
vote for Harris, because what good is money to you?
What good is anything to you? You know? I if
this nation isn't safe, if this nation is under attack,
if the world's on fire, and look at what happened Trump,
relative peace and prosperity across the globe, Biden Harris, world
(17:48):
on fire. And what do you think is going to
happen if she actually wins. It's that fire is going
to spread so hot and so fast.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I can't see how any undecided, unaffiliated, independent moderate voter
would vote for her. I could see them voting against Trump.
But that's the only rationale I can come up with
Dan that she's not Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
They hate Trump. They vote for her, but it's not
for hers. Still not rational, but because when you come
back to self interest, and when we come back, you know,
there's always more fresh tape on Harris, right, because she's
living a political lie. She's the opposite of who she
pretends to be. And O, this pesky video of here
keeps surfacing, and you really love the latest two new
ones there, dynamite.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
We can't afford four more years of this. Oh, it
doesn't get any better than that. Let's do that again.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We can't afford four more years of this.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Wow, that's Kamala Harris's running mate. So some tremendous polls
out for Trump. These from New York Times. Sienna will
get to that as well. Charlie Spearing kind enough to
join us, author of a book regarding a Kamala Harris
and properly referred to as amateur Hour. Charlie, Welcome to
the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Hey, Dan, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, thanks for being here. Please tell everybody about the
book and let's dive in.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Well, yeah, I wrote this book in advance of the
presidential election and taking a look at the idea of
Kamala Harris as the potential forty seventh president of the
United States. And wow, has that that prospect's gotten very
true just in the last couple of months. So it
went from a proposal to a to a reality in
(19:34):
just a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, and the book Amateur or Kamala Harris in the
White House? Right, I mean, did you see this coming?
Because on this show we'd been talking forever about how
Joe Biden was not going to be the nominee. I
thought it would be clear disaster for them if they
inserted Harris. So I thought it would be somebody else.
But here they are stuck with Harris.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Yeah, that's that was the very real possibility. Look, not
at the time I wrote the book, not everybody. Every
vice president deserves, you know, a book focusing entirely on
the record. They're kind of back up in case the
worst case scenario happened. When Kamala Harris's situation, it was
a very unique situation where Kamala Harris is the vice
(20:17):
president of the United States and very and just within
a brainstroke or a heartbeat, away from the presidency, and
then while when it came down this summer, it became
more of a reality when she stepped down, when President
Biden had to back out of his re election campaign
and Endris Harris to take his place. I don't think
any Democrat wanted that to happen. But that's that's why
(20:40):
here we are, and they're doing the very best to
make the look as good as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Now, Charlie Spearing, our guests the book Amateurer Kamala Harrison
the White House. What is in the book? Give us
a little tease if you would, that maybe a lot
of people don't know at this point about Kamala Harris,
because since she was installed as the nominee, obviously folks
are seeing a lot of video, et cetera, and starting
to see just how crazy, whack radical she is. Some
(21:05):
stuff in the books you think might surprise people.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I go into the White House, why
Biden chose her in the first place. I go into
a book about talking about her record in the White House,
how Biden Biger's were kind of embarrassed by her, didn't
know what to do with her, didn't trust her to
get out there, and defend the president when he needed
defending the most. And tela Eris was famously not, you know,
(21:30):
a buddy of Joe Biden. She was there very cynical reasons,
very political reasons, and focused more on maintaining her own
political brand and stepping up and supporting Joe Biden. Now
I go into that, and then I also go into
everything that she did up until this point, how she
got her start in her career, how she rose to
fame in California, and why and how she ended up
(21:53):
as vice president. And it's really quite a remarkable story.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And how would you summarize that story.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
For folks, Well, you're dealing with a clearly, very calculating
and very ambitious person who finished she wins political office,
that's her sights on the next political office without even
doing the job correctly in the first place. And I
think that's how she ran for office in California, where
she was famously calculating, famously safe, didn't take too many
(22:24):
hard positions even in California, and went over the sort
of the elite donors and everybody in all the Democrat
power central centers in the state. And that's sort of
what helped her propel her up until she won the
Senate race in California.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's interest even on the national stage, Charlie spearing her guests,
it's interesting Charlie ties into maybe this Peggy noon In
piece where Peggy noon An obviously no fan of Trump's,
was was, you know, talking about how empty Kamala Harris
is and refusing to talk about policies or positions. And
one of her rees was that that in California politics,
(23:03):
Kamala Harris just wasn't interested in policies. It doesn't revolver
on policies out there, it's more show business. Democrats almost
always win statewide. So is that what we're dealing with here,
somebody who just doesn't have any interest in policy.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yes, I think that's right. And you know, in California
is a democratic one party state. And then you have
to deal with machine politics. And it's a very unique blend.
All of the new money from Silicon Valley, all of
the old money from all the California inheritance, plus then
the media in Hollywood you put that on top of
it all plus the entire nonprofit industry and the union.
(23:42):
It's a very centralized, very very focused on democratic politics.
In California, it doesn't and having the money to advertise
to win races. So first you have to convince everybody
that you belong on the stage, and then they pretty
much annoint you into hire. That's kind of what she's
dealt with throughout her career.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well, Charlie, since you wrote the book Amateur or Kamala
Harrison the White House, let me bounce my theory off you.
And my belief is that Joe Biden wants the people
who humiliated him stripped him of his nomination to lose.
He does not want them to succeed. Biden wants to
sit there in election night and see, say, I told
you so, I'm the only one who could beat Trump.
(24:23):
So my theory is that Biden stuck them with Kamala
Harris because he knows that she would would have the
hardest time winning. In other words, the worst of the
DEM candidates they could have put up. What do you
think of.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
That, Well, I really think it's a product of his legacy.
He really since he chose her as the vice president,
he can't really choose anybody else to endorse to be
his successor without admitting that he made a terrible mistake.
To begin with. But I feel like Biden was kind
of stuck with the decision. And yeah, maybe there's a
little bit of that theory that you know, he endorses
(24:57):
Kamala Harrison, But that's the reason why he was in
the first place, because not only he, but nobody in
the Democratic Party believes that Kamala Harris could run and
win by herself. Otherwise wouldn't running for reelection. Well, if
she had been Biden's natural successor, it would have been
more obvious that we went through this very painful process
that ended up being very fraught for the politics of
(25:20):
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well, I think her doubters are being proven right right now. Hey, Charlie,
grateful for the time, the book, Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris
in the White House, and take care of my friend.
Thank you for the time.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Do you bet anytime?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Thank you, Thank you appreciate that. Wow, if you just
joined us, what a stretch run? This is going to
be right, I mean, And it's been clear, I think
on this show for a long time. But doesn't it
have to be really clear after the latest polling that
she is headed for a big loss? So what do
they do now other than install her as president, and
(25:53):
I think they've got a short window here to do that.
What else do they have? Texter says, Dan, you are
the only and puts in all caps one I have
heard saying she wants another debate because she blew the
first one. She wants another debate so she can shine
a second time. He doesn't want to bomb again, so
he's declining, Wait a second is our Texter's premise that
(26:16):
Kamala Harris did what she needed to do in the
first debate, which is set herself on track for victory. Really,
is there anybody who believes that if she thought she
was headed to victory she would risk a second debate?
I tellt that very much. I think it's open and shut.
(26:36):
If she thought that she'd done what she had to
do and she was headed to victory, there's no way
in the world she'd want to go near that debate stage. Ryan,
you know what about this one thing that I think
maybe factoring into that is and nobody's talking about this.
We've got this VP debate coming up a week from tomorrow,
(26:56):
a good point, and they're going to get there. Harris
Camp's going to get their clock cleaned at that debate
because JD. Vance is going to take him to school,
and you know, and Vance is going to be able
to use that debate to point out that the truly
radical nature of Harrison Walls and Wals is is he
(27:21):
going to be protected the same way that Harris was?
I doubted very much.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Heighty Vance is just so good dan It speaking extemporaneously
in detail on issues on the spot, adversarial media, friendly media,
Like I just listened to his podcast appearance that he
did with Tucker Carlson. This guy's got the chops, He's
on point, and you're totally right. He is going to
blow Tim Walls out of a water.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, but I think he also blows Kamala Harris out
of the water, right because this will be a chance
to expose. Okay, what does she really stand for? You
got Walls right there? Okay, what does she really stand for? Okay?
She said medicare iditcare for all? Okay? Does she? When
did she change your position? Why did she change your position?
You go right on down the list. Yeah, all of that,
all of that, and and you know, if Walls tries
(28:08):
to say, well, you know, I come from a middle
class family, it's over right me So keep your eye
on that VP debate, and that may be another reason
she's begging for a second one now is is there
is a beatdown coming there? Eight five zero five A
two five five when we come back some newly unearthed
video of Harris that's doing even more damage to her campaign.
(28:31):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
That's why I.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Am committed to passing a green new Deal, creating clean
jobs and finally putting an end to fracking once and
for all.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Mama La, Kamala just don't give a frack.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh that's awkward, isn't it? So Kamala Harris, And you
wonder why even New York Times or pauland just I'm
out showing her sinking in key swing states right because
they're seeing the ads that we don't see here right
where they get to see the real Kamala Harris, and
they can see her on video, they can see the
words coming out of her mouth, and so they think, OMG,
(29:14):
and who's going to vote for somebody that far left right?
So yeah, I think those swing state ads are having
devastating effect. And they still have forty two days more
to work and hears some more video coming out now,
and I wish you could see the video. Obviously you
don't want to do that in the car, but Kamala Harris,
she's dancing and pointing down as she chants down with
(29:36):
deportation and to keep it off Cherry on top with
Chelsea Smolette. Boy, you've got to see the video on that. Yeah.
And she's going to be in Arizona next day or
(29:57):
two and going to make a border trip as part that.
That'll be really persuasive. Speaking of trips, I started the
day in such a glorious way today. I had early
court down in Colorado Springs, so Passo County Courthouse and
just driving down there and watching the sunrise against the uh,
you know, against Pike's Peak. It was just absolutely beautiful.
Love going to court down there. And then you know,
(30:20):
it was interesting, Ryan, because I went from courting Colorado
Springs to downtown Denver for a mediation in a case.
And the contrast was striking to me because downtown Denver
right now, not all of it, but so much just
seems like the walking dead to me, and I think
a lot of that's fentanyl. Right. It started with with
legalization of marijuana started with people coming here for drugs,
(30:40):
and now people have you know, doing the stuff they've
always been doing, but moved into fentanyl. And it's just
like the living dead in so many places. It is
so sad. Where's in Colorado Springs? When I was leaving
the courthouse there, you know, downtown seemed really nice and
clean and and yeah, just a real contrast to me there.
Let's go up to beautiful Fort Collins. Talk to Don.
(31:01):
You're on the dan Kaplash'll welcome Don.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Why Dan, I wanted to challenge your belief that they
want Kamala Harris to lose. And let me let me
preface that by presenting what my thesis is. First of all,
it doesn't matter whether it's Kamala Harris Obiden. It's the
(31:26):
person doesn't matter, it's the philosophy behind it. And the
philosophy has been to import as many illegal aliens as
they can and turn that into a voting block. And
we've already begun to see that with some states where
illegals are already registering to vote. That's been documented in
(31:46):
Texas and in Georgia. So with that in mind, it
doesn't matter whether it's Kamala Harris or who. But they
do want another four years in office because Dan, if
they have another four years in office and Trump does
not win, they will convert that voting block of illegal
(32:07):
aliens to Democratic votes in four years. And that's why
it's important they get there. As having said that, my
last point, my dad, my last point. If Trump gets elected,
he will drain the swamp and all those people, Commissioner Ray,
all of those people are going to lose their job.
(32:28):
So I want Trump to win, win, But I'm here
to tell you that I think your premise is incorrectly.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Thank you, and you've played it out beautifully. Don only
reason I interrupteds are coming up at the end of
the show and I want a chance to respond. And
here's why I respectfully disagree. Because for it to work,
they've got to have somebody in the position of president
who can be effective, who can pull off that con
you know, Biden for a while pulled off the con
(32:58):
of lunch paled, Joe, moderate this, moderate that, and eventually
Americans could see through it. But they need somebody who
can pull that off. So if they had a Shapiro
or a Whitmer or a Newsome. All of them would
be terrible presidents, right, but they would be so much
more articulate, so much more effective and I put that
(33:19):
word in quotes effective in doing bad things than Harris
would be because obviously she's inept, right, Obviously she doesn't
have the kind of intellect you need to be president.
That's why she didn't even get to Iowa in the
twenty twenty primaries. So I think what a lot of
people in power on the left seat is she's going
to be a disaster as president, and she's going to
(33:42):
get them wiped out in the midterms and wiped out
in twenty eight. And guess what I'm with don that
they want wide open borders so they can get a
whole bunch of new voters in here from south of
the border. That's their plan. And they won't be able
to accomplish that if they don't have the Senate. They
won't be able to accomplish that, if they don't have
the House, they won't be able to accomplish that, if
they don't have the White House in twenty eight And
(34:05):
does anybody have any credible reason to disagree with my belief?
And I believe theirs on many of the powers on
the left that she will be a disastrous president and
will cost him the Senate, cost him the House, and
get them wiped out in twenty eight And what they
don't even get a Supreme Court pick for that, because
there's not likely to be one in the next term
(34:27):
if she's president. So thank you, don I appreciate you
making a very good counter argument, but nobody'll ever admit it.
But it's going to be interesting to see how it
plays out down the stretch, particularly now that she is
obviously fading. Is it over yet? No, of course not.
President Trump still needs to be good, if not great,
but obviously looking very very good, Ryan, as you are
(34:50):
always looking very very good, Kelly, human sunshine just radiating
all around her each and every day. That's a nice tune.
We can dance to it. Please join me tomorrow four
o six on The Dankaplas Show.

about it, Donald Trump has never been in more danger
than he is right now. And that's saying a lot,
(00:22):
right for a guy who survived miraculously. I do believe
in divine intervention. I think it happened there miraculously in
Pennsylvania and then also in Florida, two assassination attempts. By
the way, Ryan, did you hear I'm not sure I
heard it right at the top? I think I did.
Did ABC News at the top refer to this assassin,
this would be assassin as quote a man who had
(00:44):
a gun at Trump's Florida golf course. I think that's
how he referred to him at the time. I mean,
if that's correct, it's just what exhibit triplesz in just
how insidious and dishonest these people are. But anyway, think
about it, think about the extraordinarily profound danger he is
in right now. As as right now, it's got to
(01:07):
be clear, It's been clear to anybody listening to this show,
because I've set it and backed it up for a
long time. But right now it's got to be clear
to anybody paying attention that Donald Trump is on track
to win a second term and Kamala Harris can't win.
Only Donald Trump can lose unless he blows it in
some spectacular way. He's going to get a second term,
(01:27):
which I believe ratchets up the danger incredibly for him.
And it was already stunningly high. And part of the
reason it was stunning lee high, as we've talked about
for years here is he had the courage to protect
this nation by ordering ordering the killing of Solomoni, the
Iranian terrorist general, and Trump knew that that would then
(01:50):
put an even bigger target on his back and in
fact around his promise to assassinate him ironically at his
golf course. They put out a video. But then the
Biden administration confirmed after the Pennsylvania assassination attempt that yes,
the administration knew before Pennsylvania that Iran was trying to
kill Trump. So right now you've got this cross swords
(02:10):
moments where moment where his enemies and start with Iran,
but certainly as other nation state enemies because he stands
up to them. Kamala Harris is their fantasy, their dream
as a weak president of the United States. You know,
whether you're talking to Iran, China, the iatolus Putin, they
(02:31):
of course they would want Kamala Harris as president. They
can just prey on her weakness. The last thing they
would want would be Donald Trump. And so it's just
this very dangerous moment for him let alone, let alone,
you know, all of these other psychos and wackos and
haters who want to kill him. And it's against that backdrop.
(02:52):
And I'd love to get your take on this. This
is fresh news against that backdrop that DOJ to release.
I don't know if they released the whole letter or
excerpts from a letter that this would be assassin Ruth
had written and obviously before the assassination attempt, and part
(03:14):
of the letter addressed to quote the world. So he
wants a broad audience for this quote. This was an
assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But I failed you. I
tried my best and gave it all the gumption I
could muster. It is up to you now to finish
the job, and I will offer one hundred and fifty
thousand to whomever can complete the job. So why would
(03:40):
DOJ release a letter from the failed assassin promising one
hundred and fifty thousand to whoever can now go out
and assassinate Trump? Is this just admirable candor? I mean, remember,
we couldn't what was it, Ryan, I don't think we
could get We never did get the tapes, did we
(04:01):
of Biden's interview with special counsel her? Nope? Yeah? So
is this just an incredible burst of generous candor? Yeah? Hm,
So they release a letter where the failed assassin offers
one hundred and fifty thousand to whoever can complete the job.
(04:24):
But listen, when you've got nation states like Iran after
you and they know you are just a few weeks
now from getting a second term, and think about what
happened to Iran under Trump. Think about what happened to Russia.
Russia didn't go into Ukraine under Trump. They went under Obama,
they went under Biden, Harris, they didn't go under Trump.
So they think about what was happening in China getting
(04:46):
hammered with these tariffs from Trump. Yeah, a very very
dangerous time for the president. So hopefully all of us
who believe very deeply in prayer will employ that here.
Hopefully the government will give the president full and absolute protection,
because I think at this point Iron stops at virtually
(05:07):
nothing to try to eliminate Trump before election day eight
five five or zero five A two five five the number.
What do you think of this? I haven't seen the
verbatim statement, and you can't trust CNN, but they've got
a headline up Trump Colan Catholics who vote for Harris
should have quote head examined. What do you think of that?
(05:28):
Love to get your take on in text d An
five seven, seven thirty nine had a great caller, Josh
from Wheatridge at the end of last hour, and he
had a very fair and important question. I happen to
be Catholic myself, very pro life, and it was, Hey,
you know, is it a tough call for Catholics now
that Trump and the GOP have backed up someone right
to life? And I said, oh, man, that disappoints me,
(05:49):
but it's still the easiest call in the world because
obviously with Harris and the left, you just get a
literal killing machine. They glorify it, they fund it, they
want to promote it, they want more of it. And
think about that, everyone who cares about people of color,
they take such delight in maximizing the numbers of a
practice of killing that kills five blacks for every white.
(06:13):
Can you get a more racist and effect policy than that?
And nobody should be killed? Yeah? Craziness, But no for Catholics,
it's an easy call, right because and everybody who cares
about life, regardless of religion. Because with Trump he wants
to leave the decision to the people of each state.
With Harris, she wants to take that away from the
(06:34):
people of the states and just have ROW codified nationally,
let alone funding of the death Star, etc. Which Harris
and the left would do with great glee, and Trump
will not do so. No very easy call. I think
that Trump and the GOP are wrong to soften on
this issue, where the GOP has others a very nobly
(06:56):
stayed very strong such as how about this one Ryan governor.
Governor Kemp in a classic swing state takes a very firm,
strong position in favor of life. Six week hertbeat Bill
and he wins in a landslide over a heavily funded
Democrat opponent. I mean that's just one example. Run DeSantis
(07:17):
in Florida, strong position, Abbot in Texas, strong position, all
these folks winning. So I wish the GOP had not softened,
but still an easy, far better choice than the left.
I want to get to some text as well. We'll
get those in, but you've got to hear some of this.
Just great, immediate, instant, classic sound of the day. I
don't know that anything gets better than this. What do
(07:40):
you think was going on in the Harris camp when
they heard this sound from Tim Walls? We can't afford
four more years of this?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The Trump camp now that the problem is the danger
of diffusion, a bounty of riches, saying do you run
this and say you know, I'm Donald Trump and I
approve this message. What do you do with that? And
then of course we know Harris out there now begging
for another debate and President Trump so far resisting. And
remember after the debate that the second debate, but the
(08:11):
one with Harris, and everybody said Trump lost, and I said,
wait a second. He missed a lot of opportunities. That's
very frustrating. He could have done so much better, but
he still won because winning is doing what you have
to do to win the presidency. She beat expectations because
they were so low in ABC bubble Raptor, but she
lost because she didn't do what she needed to win
(08:32):
the presidency. And her now openly begging for a second
debate just proves that. Right does anybody in the right
mind believe that if she had done what she needed
to do to win, that she'd want this second debate.
But here's the latest from her on that jind me
on the debate stage.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Let's have another debate. This more to talk about, and
that voters of America deserved they hear the conversation that
I think we should be having on set says, on issues,
on policies, what's your plan, what's my plan?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why didn't you do that the first time instead of
just taunting him with like, oh, you have small debate
crowds and they get bored and they leave here. The
last thing, obviously Harris wanted to talk about in that
first debate was policy, substance, et cetera. That's why I
said as soon as it ended she lost. She had
one chance to explain to the American people how she's
(09:21):
different than Biden. She didn't even try to. She had
one chance to explain why she's allegedly changed her positions.
She didn't even try to. And now she knows she's sunk.
So no, Trump's going to be smart and not give
it to her. How about under the New York Times
own polling, the big swings. They had hair Us up
five in Arizona a month ago, now Trump's up five.
(09:43):
They had Trump's now up four in Georgia based on
New York Times, and Trump's up three in North Carolina
based on New York Times. And they had hair Us
up two a month ago. So the writing's on the wall.
They're right, can't trust the New York Times, and this
whole polling may just be you play. So they come
out with a new poll in a week or two
and say Harris is back in the lead. Kamalamentum, you
(10:05):
know all that garbage. But listen the proof she knows
she's trending to defeat now is begging for this second debate.
Eight five for zero five eight two five five the number.
So Lensky implicitly campaigning for Harrison Pennsylvania today on the
US dime. What do you think about that, more of
(10:26):
our troops to the Mid East. And when Trump says,
quote Catholics who are supporting Harris should have their head examined,
do you agree with them? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
This election is about the economy. This election is about
the border.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's what it is. And I am your border president,
your border president. Kamalo would be your invasion president. Please,
President Trump, that was perfect. Stay on message each of
these critical areas, right, the economy, the border, war in
(11:04):
peace crime. Yet, just stay on these messages, right, message, right, temperament.
Forty two more days. Got a second turn, and I
don't think it'll be by an inch. I I think
it'll be a comfortable win if President Trump pursues that strategy.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(11:27):
If you just joined us, thank you. There is so
much going on, Just allow me fifteen seconds on sports. First,
let's start with the Broncos. I think that's the real
Broncos team and I can't wait for the rest of
this season. That's a playoff team. Second, let's talk about
CEU buffs. I mean, just as a guy who's been
hundreds of buff games, former student body president and all
that good stuff, I can tell you that's just one
(11:49):
of the top five games ever at folsom And how
good is Shador Sanders Ryan? Who has ever had You
can't even call these hell mary's. It's the whole rosary? Now,
who has ever had two hell marya. He's back to
back where he throws this perfect hell mary pass right
in the receiver's arms and he drops it. Okay, that happens,
throws another one five seconds later, the guy catches it,
(12:10):
and then you win in ot so just a glorious win.
I think it will propel them to a bowl game
and beyond good win for CSU. And got to tell
you I was up up there in that stadium for
the CUCSU game. That is a beautiful stadium they now
have up there in Fort Collins, and hopefully great days
ahead for them as well. All right, let's get back
(12:30):
to the life and death stuff. There is so much
fun out there today. Kamala Harris now pretty much openly
begging Trump for a second debate, which he's widely refusing.
And love your take on how we should respond to
her constant barbes. But she's begging for it because she
knows she blew the first one, didn't answer America's questions,
and now there's no other opportunity because the only other
(12:52):
way to try to get there right is interviews, and
she just does not have that skill. So she is
stock turning down the l Smith Thinner, which is this
big Catholic fundraising where traditionally, you know, the presidential candidate
from each party goes, they get together, it's kind of
a roast, and she's turning that down because again, she
(13:13):
doesn't have the ability. She just doesn't have the mental
capacity to do that sort of thing. I'm not saying
she's dumb or stupid, she just doesn't have the particular
kind of intellect it takes to be president, because if
you did, you could do an event like that, and
she can't. So it's really going to hurt her and
hurt her with Catholics, and whoever wins the Catholic vote
normally wins the presidency, and that's particularly true when you've
(13:36):
got the Blue Wall States involved. Speaking of which, Ryan,
this mayor of a city in Michigan, I've never heard
of he happens to be Muslim endorsing Trump. A big deal,
not a big deal. What city is that anyway?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Well, I look up some details. Here is the first
time I'm hearing about it. Yes, Muslim mayor Trump, let's
do that majority of Michigan cityt me see here. Oh no,
let's talk about it really quick. Ham Trammick used to
be exists, right, and if you see it, you're welcome
for me showing you how to pronounce it, because you
(14:11):
look at it, you're not going to think am Trammick.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's how you say it.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
It's a Polish little village within the city of Detroit
used to be. Now it's largely Muslim. And for the mayor,
Amir Ghalib here to endorse Trump, I think that is
big because it shows that in the Muslim community, which
the Democrats have been taking for granted, and they've been
trying to, you know, bifurkate their position in Gaza, to
try to placate the far left elements in Dearborn. But
(14:37):
I'll tell you they're not a monolith, just like any
other group that the Democrats try to do that to
and put them in at a silo I think this
is telling that there is some daylight in the Muslim
community that they respect Donald Trump. The strength of Donald Trump,
they know he brings order and peace and it won't
be the chaos that we've been seeing in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Well A anything that helps in Michigan, right, because Michigan
itself is still close and doesn't need Michigan. If he
wins Pennsylvania doesn't need Michigan. If he wins Wisconsin, maybe
doesn't need Michigan, Dan, says a Texter to da n
five seven seven three nine. Why would any Catholic Jew,
oil men or gun owner vote for Harris? I would
pose a broader question, why would anybody? And I know
(15:17):
that sounds simplistic, but think about it for a second.
Why would anybody vote for Harris? And this comes down
to I know there's some text asking me, well, what
do you think, Dan? Do you agree with Trump that
that a Catholic who votes for Harris should have is
head examined. My own words that the way I would
put it is that I think a Catholic who votes
(15:40):
for Harris is voting against his own self interest. And
and you know, I always come back to this question,
and I'm not claiming I apply it perfectly to my life.
Obviously I don't. But I come back to this question,
what would Jesus do you know? And I apply that
to the vote as well. Did Jesus vote for here?
(16:01):
And I don't think any candidate has to be perfect,
because obviously Trump is not. It has to be perfect
that for me to at least believe that Jesus would
vote for him. But who would Jesus vote for here?
And you know, you start with talking about voting against
self interest. You start with the left right now, which
is absolutely determined to undermine religious liberty, and it would
(16:22):
seem for anybody of any faith, including the Catholic faith,
that should be a pretty big disqualifier right out of
the gate. And then obviously you have the life issue
where the left right now, and it's out of touch
with a good chunk of cat of Democrats too. The
left right now is just so absolutely worshiping of and
devoted to the mass killing of humans before birth, and
(16:45):
disproportionately by a five to one rate, blacks before birth.
And how in the world, I don't know how anybody
can vote for that, let alone somebody of faith. So yeah,
lots of different reasons why. I think it's just a
vote against self interest, which brings me back to this question,
why would anybody vote for Harris? Whose interest is it in?
(17:06):
Unless you run an abortion clinic, right, unless you work
for planned parenthood, and you know, it's just your financial
interest is the most important thing in you to your life,
no matter what. But even there, you could make the
case even if you own and operate plan Parenthood, and
you're going to get more and more of this government money,
and they'll be more and more killing and all this,
(17:26):
and that it's still not in your self interest to
vote for Harris, because what good is money to you?
What good is anything to you? You know? I if
this nation isn't safe, if this nation is under attack,
if the world's on fire, and look at what happened Trump,
relative peace and prosperity across the globe, Biden Harris, world
(17:48):
on fire. And what do you think is going to
happen if she actually wins. It's that fire is going
to spread so hot and so fast.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I can't see how any undecided, unaffiliated, independent moderate voter
would vote for her. I could see them voting against Trump.
But that's the only rationale I can come up with
Dan that she's not Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
They hate Trump. They vote for her, but it's not
for hers. Still not rational, but because when you come
back to self interest, and when we come back, you know,
there's always more fresh tape on Harris, right, because she's
living a political lie. She's the opposite of who she
pretends to be. And O, this pesky video of here
keeps surfacing, and you really love the latest two new
ones there, dynamite.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
We can't afford four more years of this. Oh, it
doesn't get any better than that. Let's do that again.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We can't afford four more years of this.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Wow, that's Kamala Harris's running mate. So some tremendous polls
out for Trump. These from New York Times. Sienna will
get to that as well. Charlie Spearing kind enough to
join us, author of a book regarding a Kamala Harris
and properly referred to as amateur Hour. Charlie, Welcome to
the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Hey, Dan, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, thanks for being here. Please tell everybody about the
book and let's dive in.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Well, yeah, I wrote this book in advance of the
presidential election and taking a look at the idea of
Kamala Harris as the potential forty seventh president of the
United States. And wow, has that that prospect's gotten very
true just in the last couple of months. So it
went from a proposal to a to a reality in
(19:34):
just a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, and the book Amateur or Kamala Harris in the
White House? Right, I mean, did you see this coming?
Because on this show we'd been talking forever about how
Joe Biden was not going to be the nominee. I
thought it would be clear disaster for them if they
inserted Harris. So I thought it would be somebody else.
But here they are stuck with Harris.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Yeah, that's that was the very real possibility. Look, not
at the time I wrote the book, not everybody. Every
vice president deserves, you know, a book focusing entirely on
the record. They're kind of back up in case the
worst case scenario happened. When Kamala Harris's situation, it was
a very unique situation where Kamala Harris is the vice
(20:17):
president of the United States and very and just within
a brainstroke or a heartbeat, away from the presidency, and
then while when it came down this summer, it became
more of a reality when she stepped down, when President
Biden had to back out of his re election campaign
and Endris Harris to take his place. I don't think
any Democrat wanted that to happen. But that's that's why
(20:40):
here we are, and they're doing the very best to
make the look as good as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Now, Charlie Spearing, our guests the book Amateurer Kamala Harrison
the White House. What is in the book? Give us
a little tease if you would, that maybe a lot
of people don't know at this point about Kamala Harris,
because since she was installed as the nominee, obviously folks
are seeing a lot of video, et cetera, and starting
to see just how crazy, whack radical she is. Some
(21:05):
stuff in the books you think might surprise people.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I go into the White House, why
Biden chose her in the first place. I go into
a book about talking about her record in the White House,
how Biden Biger's were kind of embarrassed by her, didn't
know what to do with her, didn't trust her to
get out there, and defend the president when he needed
defending the most. And tela Eris was famously not, you know,
(21:30):
a buddy of Joe Biden. She was there very cynical reasons,
very political reasons, and focused more on maintaining her own
political brand and stepping up and supporting Joe Biden. Now
I go into that, and then I also go into
everything that she did up until this point, how she
got her start in her career, how she rose to
fame in California, and why and how she ended up
(21:53):
as vice president. And it's really quite a remarkable story.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And how would you summarize that story.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
For folks, Well, you're dealing with a clearly, very calculating
and very ambitious person who finished she wins political office,
that's her sights on the next political office without even
doing the job correctly in the first place. And I
think that's how she ran for office in California, where
she was famously calculating, famously safe, didn't take too many
(22:24):
hard positions even in California, and went over the sort
of the elite donors and everybody in all the Democrat
power central centers in the state. And that's sort of
what helped her propel her up until she won the
Senate race in California.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's interest even on the national stage, Charlie spearing her guests,
it's interesting Charlie ties into maybe this Peggy noon In
piece where Peggy noon An obviously no fan of Trump's,
was was, you know, talking about how empty Kamala Harris
is and refusing to talk about policies or positions. And
one of her rees was that that in California politics,
(23:03):
Kamala Harris just wasn't interested in policies. It doesn't revolver
on policies out there, it's more show business. Democrats almost
always win statewide. So is that what we're dealing with here,
somebody who just doesn't have any interest in policy.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yes, I think that's right. And you know, in California
is a democratic one party state. And then you have
to deal with machine politics. And it's a very unique blend.
All of the new money from Silicon Valley, all of
the old money from all the California inheritance, plus then
the media in Hollywood you put that on top of
it all plus the entire nonprofit industry and the union.
(23:42):
It's a very centralized, very very focused on democratic politics.
In California, it doesn't and having the money to advertise
to win races. So first you have to convince everybody
that you belong on the stage, and then they pretty
much annoint you into hire. That's kind of what she's
dealt with throughout her career.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well, Charlie, since you wrote the book Amateur or Kamala
Harrison the White House, let me bounce my theory off you.
And my belief is that Joe Biden wants the people
who humiliated him stripped him of his nomination to lose.
He does not want them to succeed. Biden wants to
sit there in election night and see, say, I told
you so, I'm the only one who could beat Trump.
(24:23):
So my theory is that Biden stuck them with Kamala
Harris because he knows that she would would have the
hardest time winning. In other words, the worst of the
DEM candidates they could have put up. What do you
think of.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
That, Well, I really think it's a product of his legacy.
He really since he chose her as the vice president,
he can't really choose anybody else to endorse to be
his successor without admitting that he made a terrible mistake.
To begin with. But I feel like Biden was kind
of stuck with the decision. And yeah, maybe there's a
little bit of that theory that you know, he endorses
(24:57):
Kamala Harrison, But that's the reason why he was in
the first place, because not only he, but nobody in
the Democratic Party believes that Kamala Harris could run and
win by herself. Otherwise wouldn't running for reelection. Well, if
she had been Biden's natural successor, it would have been
more obvious that we went through this very painful process
that ended up being very fraught for the politics of
(25:20):
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well, I think her doubters are being proven right right now. Hey, Charlie,
grateful for the time, the book, Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris
in the White House, and take care of my friend.
Thank you for the time.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Do you bet anytime?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Thank you, Thank you appreciate that. Wow, if you just
joined us, what a stretch run? This is going to
be right, I mean, And it's been clear, I think
on this show for a long time. But doesn't it
have to be really clear after the latest polling that
she is headed for a big loss? So what do
they do now other than install her as president, and
(25:53):
I think they've got a short window here to do that.
What else do they have? Texter says, Dan, you are
the only and puts in all caps one I have
heard saying she wants another debate because she blew the
first one. She wants another debate so she can shine
a second time. He doesn't want to bomb again, so
he's declining, Wait a second is our Texter's premise that
(26:16):
Kamala Harris did what she needed to do in the
first debate, which is set herself on track for victory. Really,
is there anybody who believes that if she thought she
was headed to victory she would risk a second debate?
I tellt that very much. I think it's open and shut.
(26:36):
If she thought that she'd done what she had to
do and she was headed to victory, there's no way
in the world she'd want to go near that debate stage. Ryan,
you know what about this one thing that I think
maybe factoring into that is and nobody's talking about this.
We've got this VP debate coming up a week from tomorrow,
(26:56):
a good point, and they're going to get there. Harris
Camp's going to get their clock cleaned at that debate
because JD. Vance is going to take him to school,
and you know, and Vance is going to be able
to use that debate to point out that the truly
radical nature of Harrison Walls and Wals is is he
(27:21):
going to be protected the same way that Harris was?
I doubted very much.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Heighty Vance is just so good dan It speaking extemporaneously
in detail on issues on the spot, adversarial media, friendly media,
Like I just listened to his podcast appearance that he
did with Tucker Carlson. This guy's got the chops, He's
on point, and you're totally right. He is going to
blow Tim Walls out of a water.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, but I think he also blows Kamala Harris out
of the water, right because this will be a chance
to expose. Okay, what does she really stand for? You
got Walls right there? Okay, what does she really stand for? Okay?
She said medicare iditcare for all? Okay? Does she? When
did she change your position? Why did she change your position?
You go right on down the list. Yeah, all of that,
all of that, and and you know, if Walls tries
(28:08):
to say, well, you know, I come from a middle
class family, it's over right me So keep your eye
on that VP debate, and that may be another reason
she's begging for a second one now is is there
is a beatdown coming there? Eight five zero five A
two five five when we come back some newly unearthed
video of Harris that's doing even more damage to her campaign.
(28:31):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
That's why I.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Am committed to passing a green new Deal, creating clean
jobs and finally putting an end to fracking once and
for all.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Mama La, Kamala just don't give a frack.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh that's awkward, isn't it? So Kamala Harris, And you
wonder why even New York Times or pauland just I'm
out showing her sinking in key swing states right because
they're seeing the ads that we don't see here right
where they get to see the real Kamala Harris, and
they can see her on video, they can see the
words coming out of her mouth, and so they think, OMG,
(29:14):
and who's going to vote for somebody that far left right?
So yeah, I think those swing state ads are having
devastating effect. And they still have forty two days more
to work and hears some more video coming out now,
and I wish you could see the video. Obviously you
don't want to do that in the car, but Kamala Harris,
she's dancing and pointing down as she chants down with
(29:36):
deportation and to keep it off Cherry on top with
Chelsea Smolette. Boy, you've got to see the video on that. Yeah.
And she's going to be in Arizona next day or
(29:57):
two and going to make a border trip as part that.
That'll be really persuasive. Speaking of trips, I started the
day in such a glorious way today. I had early
court down in Colorado Springs, so Passo County Courthouse and
just driving down there and watching the sunrise against the uh,
you know, against Pike's Peak. It was just absolutely beautiful.
Love going to court down there. And then you know,
(30:20):
it was interesting, Ryan, because I went from courting Colorado
Springs to downtown Denver for a mediation in a case.
And the contrast was striking to me because downtown Denver
right now, not all of it, but so much just
seems like the walking dead to me, and I think
a lot of that's fentanyl. Right. It started with with
legalization of marijuana started with people coming here for drugs,
(30:40):
and now people have you know, doing the stuff they've
always been doing, but moved into fentanyl. And it's just
like the living dead in so many places. It is
so sad. Where's in Colorado Springs? When I was leaving
the courthouse there, you know, downtown seemed really nice and
clean and and yeah, just a real contrast to me there.
Let's go up to beautiful Fort Collins. Talk to Don.
(31:01):
You're on the dan Kaplash'll welcome Don.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Why Dan, I wanted to challenge your belief that they
want Kamala Harris to lose. And let me let me
preface that by presenting what my thesis is. First of all,
it doesn't matter whether it's Kamala Harris Obiden. It's the
(31:26):
person doesn't matter, it's the philosophy behind it. And the
philosophy has been to import as many illegal aliens as
they can and turn that into a voting block. And
we've already begun to see that with some states where
illegals are already registering to vote. That's been documented in
(31:46):
Texas and in Georgia. So with that in mind, it
doesn't matter whether it's Kamala Harris or who. But they
do want another four years in office because Dan, if
they have another four years in office and Trump does
not win, they will convert that voting block of illegal
(32:07):
aliens to Democratic votes in four years. And that's why
it's important they get there. As having said that, my
last point, my dad, my last point. If Trump gets elected,
he will drain the swamp and all those people, Commissioner Ray,
all of those people are going to lose their job.
(32:28):
So I want Trump to win, win, But I'm here
to tell you that I think your premise is incorrectly.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Thank you, and you've played it out beautifully. Don only
reason I interrupteds are coming up at the end of
the show and I want a chance to respond. And
here's why I respectfully disagree. Because for it to work,
they've got to have somebody in the position of president
who can be effective, who can pull off that con
you know, Biden for a while pulled off the con
(32:58):
of lunch paled, Joe, moderate this, moderate that, and eventually
Americans could see through it. But they need somebody who
can pull that off. So if they had a Shapiro
or a Whitmer or a Newsome. All of them would
be terrible presidents, right, but they would be so much
more articulate, so much more effective and I put that
(33:19):
word in quotes effective in doing bad things than Harris
would be because obviously she's inept, right, Obviously she doesn't
have the kind of intellect you need to be president.
That's why she didn't even get to Iowa in the
twenty twenty primaries. So I think what a lot of
people in power on the left seat is she's going
to be a disaster as president, and she's going to
(33:42):
get them wiped out in the midterms and wiped out
in twenty eight. And guess what I'm with don that
they want wide open borders so they can get a
whole bunch of new voters in here from south of
the border. That's their plan. And they won't be able
to accomplish that if they don't have the Senate. They
won't be able to accomplish that, if they don't have
the House, they won't be able to accomplish that, if
they don't have the White House in twenty eight And
(34:05):
does anybody have any credible reason to disagree with my belief?
And I believe theirs on many of the powers on
the left that she will be a disastrous president and
will cost him the Senate, cost him the House, and
get them wiped out in twenty eight And what they
don't even get a Supreme Court pick for that, because
there's not likely to be one in the next term
(34:27):
if she's president. So thank you, don I appreciate you
making a very good counter argument, but nobody'll ever admit it.
But it's going to be interesting to see how it
plays out down the stretch, particularly now that she is
obviously fading. Is it over yet? No, of course not.
President Trump still needs to be good, if not great,
but obviously looking very very good, Ryan, as you are
(34:50):
always looking very very good, Kelly, human sunshine just radiating
all around her each and every day. That's a nice tune.
We can dance to it. Please join me tomorrow four
o six on The Dankaplas Show.
