Way on full display today, and it is not at
the DNC, in fact, quite the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Glad you are here.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Eight five five four zero five eight two five five
the number, the worst number for hopefully the best talk show.
But we're syndicated, so we have to have this clumsy number.
Eight five five four zero five eight two five five.
Text us at d AN five seven seven three nine.
Who's the US chemo Sabi? Well, of course it's Ryan
(00:43):
as always and Kelly, but also the wonderful Heidigan, all
kind enough to be with us today, and Lord knows
there is a lot to chew on, and it's it's
not quit just the DNC and Chicago of course, are
going to be all over that.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You can count on us.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Every day to be looking three four five six steps
ahead when it comes to this historic presidential race, historically
wacko right and high stakes, but a lot of stuff
going on locally as well, So glad you are here, Heidi.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm remote today, so it's not the same. We can't
just look at each other and cue each other and
everything else. But how you doing, Heidie?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It's going to be an exciting week, so much to
talk about. There's already so much action at the actual DNC.
I just heard the protesters rip the fence down, so
it's already getting feisty.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow, are you pulling for the protesters? No? No, I
want everybody to be You got your hand on the Bible.
I can feel it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I can't see it because I'm not in studio with you,
But are you pulling for the protesters?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I just want them to feel a little bit of
the pain that they've created on their own behalf. So
I don't want anybody to get hurt. I want it
to be somewhat safe. But I'm all in for a
little bit of craziness to go on and distract everybody
from the show that the and the DNC is going
to put on for all of.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Us this week.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Right, And I was listening to Ryan's show, so I
know I'm about to get somebody drunk by saying this
early and often.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But I think back to nineteen sixty eight. I can
watch my dad. I was a little kid. I can
watch my dad.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I can still picture him, Heidi, like it was breakfast today,
walking out of the house with his You know, they
didn't have swat gear in those days. But I can
picture the blue, the light Robin blue helmet that he
had on his head, with the visor with the Chicago
Police star on the front. Back in those days it
was Billy Club. So he had the Billy Club, he
(02:35):
had his gune and I can watch him going off.
He was front lines right in front of the Conrad
Hilton during that convention, and so it's kind of a
flashback on that. So like you, of course, I don't
want any law enforcement hurt. I don't want anybody hurt.
I do think though, Heidi, this is typical of the
Democratic Party right where it's the opposite of what doctor King.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Preached was let's just base this all on merit.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
What the hades are they doing in Chicago to begin with?
I mean, isn't this kind of the ultimate DEI Chicago.
If you're the Democratic Party and you're trying to win
this race, that's the last place you want.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
To have it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You want to be in Philadelphia, you want to be
in Phoenix. Why in the world are they in Chicago
to begin with? It tells you everything you need to
know about why not to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's a great point.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I think that's one of the most unsafe cities in
the country.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, Denver's getting up there.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
But it's interesting that Biden is speaking tonight, Like at
the RNC the first night, I mean, we had some
great speakers, don't get me wrong, but it certainly was
not the plumb assignment, right, I.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Mean, think about it.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
At the great point, Heidi, this is the president, the
democratically elected nominee who they deposed and in the a
Soviet style purge, they deposed him behind the scenes, installed Harris,
and now the sitting president who got fourteen million votes
Harris got none, gets a Monday night slot. I mean,
(04:05):
that's like where you put the mipillow guy on Monday
night slot.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well, and also it looks like from what I'm reading
in the news, various outlets are saying that the Obamas
and the Bidens are not going to be there for
Kamala's speech on Thursday night, they're headed out of town.
And get this, Dan, there were U hauls in front
of the White House today. What on earth does that mean?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
The U haul thing we could have some fun with, right,
But let's start with I hadn't heard this, Heidi. So
you're saying Obama's and Clinton's are not going to be
there for the Harris speech.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Obamas and Biden's, Biden's are not staying around.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Wow, but the Obamas are not going to be around.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's right, that's what they They're voting with their feet.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I mean, because you go back to remember in the
very beginning, when Biden was deposed and Harris was installed
ultimate backroom deal Obamas, both of them came out and
opposed it. Remember that they have hosed it, and they
said they wanted an open, free process here. So why
do you think, why do you think they're fleeing the scene.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I don't think they want to be attached to what
is going to be the train wreck that is going
to be Kamala's speech on Thursday night, or at least
the interviews around it. I don't know if they're going
to let her loose to do any interviews, but even
the few of the interviews she's done. Just the little
questions here and there over the last couple of days
have been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
My theory is that, you know, when you take their
initial announcement, they weren't back in Harris, and they quickly
fell in line right when it appeared that Biden it
out maneuvered them, but they didn't want her to begin with.
If they're not going to be there for the speech
on Thursday night, yeah, that is a loud and clear
message that they believe she is going to lose and
(05:49):
they don't want that loss on them, right, and there
are so many reasons to believe as we sit here
right now, that she is going to lose.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Even before I.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Think she blew up her own campaign on Friday by going,
you know, full out putting YOURSM Tommie Marxism, socialism, you know,
with her price control stuff. But even David Brooks and
CNN and Washington Post came down hard on her for
comparing it to Venezuela. So even before then, I think
(06:19):
that the Obamas could see the big l coming.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So, Dan, you've talked a little bit about whether Waltz
will get replaced. What you're feeling right now based on
how you're seeing this play out at the convention.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, I am so optimistic, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I am so optimistic that he will not get replaced
at the convention, which makes it very hard to replace
him afterward. And at this point, I mean, you'd have
to ask among the Dems who would want it. Do
you think Josh Shapiro would want it?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
At this point?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I hope not because one of the reasons I'm so
optimistic today, and like you have got all my notes
in front of me, my list starts with Pennsylvania. Because
even when you have all these fake polls now, and
this is what most of the media does. They lie
for Democrats, and one form of lying they do is
the polls to try to get Democrats pumped up, raise money,
(07:11):
discourage Republicans, discourage Republican fundraising. They do it every cycle.
Every cycle they get exposed, and then they come back
and do it again. So even with all of that
lying right now by the regime media with Poles, you
still you still have Trump up in Pennsylvania, and it's
(07:31):
all about Pennsylvania, right So at this point I am
a optimistic that Waltz stays on the ticket and b
that means they lose Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Well, Josh Shapiro is not coming to the DNC apparently either.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh really, how do you know all these anxieties.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I study it? It's like, yeah, you must.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I mean I think I study hard for this show.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You have a you have a day job.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, but you know I do study hard for this show.
So you're saying the euro is not coming either.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
That's what they're saying. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
On a lot of the different outlets, they're saying Shapiro's
not coming, Fetterman's not coming.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Ooh bye boy. That would be such great news.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, maybe that explains why Obama's aren't going to be
there on Thursday night, because if she at this point
is just blowing off Pennsylvania that they can't win.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I agree, I don't understand that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I mean, everybody that I talked to knows that Pennsylvania
is the most critical state in the entire country. In fact,
I talked to a Turning Point team today about how
can we in Colorado help in Pennsylvania, Like how can
we get people here, calling, texting, working the phones to
get voters that aren't likely to show up, typically that
(08:44):
maybe voted in twenty sixteen, not in twenty twenty to
activate and show up.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And it's really easy. You just get on the app,
you do it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And I think that's one of the key ways that
us in Colorado can help. Now we've got our congressional
races that are really important here. I'm worried about CD three.
We've got to activate and help Jeff Hurt over there.
But I want to be involved nationally, and I think
if we adopted Pennsylvania, I think that's a good move
for colorad I.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Don't think that is an excellent point, especially because it's
way too hot in Phoenix right now. Right not that
Philly is going to be a treat, but and I
know you're saying we can do all this remotely, which
is beautiful. A FI five four zero five eight two
five five text DA N five seven seven through nine. Obviously,
Heidi ganall in studio, I'm remote. We're doing this together,
(09:28):
but we've got to have you and when we come back,
let's let's talk about a few things.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Heidi. First of all, you mentioned the U haul outside
the White House.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Now, obviously you know that could be another Biden dog
went to the bathroom on some rugs. But let's come
back and talk about with Biden being limited to this
Monday night slot, et cetera. Do you think Biden is
leaving the presidency? Do you think he will leave the
presidency before election day to help boost Harris, who is
obvis obviously going to need that. By the way, why
(09:58):
is Biden's name still all over the Democratic Party platform?
You're on the Dan Capital Show.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You unveiled your et some economic policies last week. Can
you explain how you're going to pay for those and
can you give us a sense of what other policies
you want to unveil going forward?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Well, I mean you just look at it in terms
of what we are talking about, for example, around sure
and the child tax credit and extending the EITC that
it's at six thousand dollars for the first year of
loot the child's life. The return on that investment, in
terms of what that will do and what it will.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Pay for it will be tremendous. We've seen it when
we did it in the first year of our administration.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
We reduced top obviously by over fifty percent. So that's
a lot of the work and then what we're doing
in terms of the tax credits. We know that there's
a great return on investment, and when we increase home
ownership in America, what that means in terms of increasing
the tax base and optometric property tax base, what that
does to fund schools?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Again, return on investment.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
I think it's a mistake for any person who talks
about public policy to not critically evaluate how.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You measure the returns.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
When you were strengthening neighborhood, strengthening communities and poking of
the economy of those munities and investing in a broad
based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for it.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Z Oh, my lord.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know the best part of that, Heidi, Heidi genallin
studio today. The best part of that was the look
on the faces of Waltz and his wife and Harris's husband,
who were standing behind her as she was rambling on
like that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That was no campaign of joy. They looked absolutely despondent.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I mean, you know, somebody gave her this or she's
got it in her head, this ROI return on investment,
and she just keeps saying it over and over again.
Obviously she has no way to pay for this right,
and we know that printing money got us into this
insane inflation thing to begin with, and inflation is, if
it's not immigration, inflation and is going to drive this
vote because it's hurting people so badly, And she obviously
(12:04):
doesn't know what she's talking about. I mean, you tell me, Hedey,
I want your honest take on this, and I know
you're always straight about everything, but I want to hear
from folks as well. Eight five to five four zero
five eight two five five text d an five seven
seven three nine. I think Joe Biden. I think Joe
Biden is intellectually superior to Kamala Harris right now.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh what do you think?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That is a strong, bold statement.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't think she has a clue what she's talking
about when it comes to the economy or wealth or inflation.
I think most everyday Americans are rolling their eyes when
they hear this stuff and they're like, what on earth?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
But then there's the half of the country that's like, that's.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
All right, We'll vote for her anyway because we don't
like Trump because he tweets mean things.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah no, no, you're right about that, And there's a
big block unfortunately going to vote against the president. But
I mean it, and I'd love to have this discussion
with you and everybody else. I think right now, Joe
Biden is clearly intellectually superior to Kamala Harris. Now by that,
I mean the ability to understand issues, to formulate a position,
(13:16):
to defend a position.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
To have the conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Now, Kamala Harris can get up and give a much
much better speech, and be much more articulate with that speech,
and have energy and everything else. You know, that just
falls into its own category. But I'm talking about intellectual
strength and firepower.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Biden has more right now.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm not saying that's a lot, but he has more
than she does.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
I believe I wouldn't argue that at this point because
I just can't even fathom this woman being in charge
of our economy, in charge of the nuclear button, in
charge of the border.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We've already seen how that's gone.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Dan, did you hear about this US Citizenship Act that's
part of the DNC platform.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No, what's it?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oh, lordy, lordy.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's bad, double lordy.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yes, it's going to give illegals social Security numbers. It's
going to waive their inadmissibility to come back into the
country if they've used welfare wrongly or if they voted illegally.
Taxpayers are going to pay for those that were already
deported to come back for amnesty.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It's insane. It's insane.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It's as bad as the policy she talked about on
the economy on Friday, for the border and for immigration
and for our job situation in America.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Hey, and let me respectfully quibble a little bit there,
because everything you just described as awful, horrible, cataclysmic. But
I don't think it's as bad as what she said Friday,
because when she came out on Friday in favor of
price controls, when she went and again, this is against
the backdrop of somebody who has committed to guaranteed equal outcome,
(15:03):
not equal opportunity, but guaranteed equal outcome, which is at
the heart of communism socialism. Right, when she comes out
with this price control stuff, Heidi, I think at this
point she has made it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Clear she is full throttle hard left.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
She intends to win by invigorating that base, turning out
people on the left who've never voted before, because it's
going to be clear to them, you know, Kamala Harris
is all in up until the point of adopting these
core socialist, if not communist beliefs.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I agree, I agree. I'll give you that one.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I just it was just another policy that came out
that I scratched my head.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I was like, why do they.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Think that America is going to agree that this is
a good idea? I mean, I believe a more majority
of Americans want the border closed and they want people
to ported if they're here illegally.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Is that your understanding?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
What d You're talking about democratic policy? Now, this DNC
platform business you just mentioned is entirely new to me.
But you're talking about Democrat border policy, right, I mean yes,
at this point, isn't it clear to every American that
Democrat border policy is an open border? I cannot imagine
(16:19):
that there are going to be many people voting who
don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Then why are they voting for that? Why do they
want more of that?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
We see it here in Denver, in Colorado, in the
Venezuelan gangs that are starting to pop up and the
crime is out of control.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I don't know if you saw in the news of
Colorado springs, but.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I'm paying a lot of attention to this because the
Rocky Mountain Voice we aggregate news. They've been like ten
stores that had cars driven into them.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh yeah, crazy, That is not a lot of them
a smoke shop.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But to answer your great question, Heidi, I think we've
got a confluence of very dangerous events. And let's start
with the fact that you have a bunch of people,
unfortunate lee who are going to vote against President Trump,
no matter how bad the alternative is, right, yep.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And that is unfortunately a very large group.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And then on top of that, we've got a certain
percentage who want.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
A socialist nation. I mean, look at the polls. I
know you do. It is I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Remember whether it's eighteen percent, twenty five percent, whatever, but
there are plenty of polls indicating there's a pretty significant
core group that want a socialist nation. And then you've
got other people who, again on the radical side, who
simply want open borders. So when you combine you know,
the Trump haters who will vote against him no matter what,
(17:41):
with these other hardcore lefty they want a socialist America,
all of a sudden you come close to enough votes
to win the election. Now, thank God for whoever came
up with the electoral college, right, Thank you God, thank
you Founders, because that's what's going to stop him.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's how we're going to save America once again.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Is because the swing states get to decide this eight
five five four zero five eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. When we
come back, Heidi and I will review some current polling
data which, while the Democrats are celebrating, it should give
you great cause for hope.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
If like us, you want to see Trump win.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You're listening to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
What a moment of hastorm we're living through together. Eight
five five four zero five eight two five five the
number text dayan dam five seven seven three nine. Heidi
Ganal with us in studio today. I'm actually remote, but
want to zero in.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now on.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
The current state of the polls and why they should
be so encouraging. And we have much more to cover
in this segment. But but Heidie, as we look at
the polls right now, and I think they're a lie.
I think that you've got the regime media. Others say mainstream,
which openly lies for the Harris campaign. In one form
(19:10):
of that line is polling. But even given that Harris
is only up the Real Clear Politics average right now,
Harris is only up two point nine. That's nationally, and
as you know, at this point in the twenty six
teen campaign, in the twenty twenty campaign, Trump's opponents were
up a lot more than that.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, Dan, I remember that, and I'm hopeful because of
the current numbers. And I go back to it's the
Swing States, it's those key cities, those five cities, and
they are comprised of good old like, hardcore Americans who
love their country, who don't want to see us go
towards socialism, communism, and who work their tails off and
(19:52):
are really frustrated with what's happening with inflation in the economy.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Right And when you get within the Swing States and
we get into that individual polling. By the way, at
this point in twenty Biden was up seven point nine
in the Real Clear Politics average, and at this point
in sixteen, Clinton was up six point eight. Even with
this full month now of beatification of Harris and lying
(20:17):
for Harrison, cooked up poles for Harris you know, she's
only up two point eight or two point nine, and
then when you break into the swings, you've got that
not to get all wonky, but you've got the New
York Times Sienna polls pumping it up for Harris. But
even with that, you've still got Trump leading in certain
swing states, including on average Pennsylvania. And historically the New
(20:40):
York Times Siena poll has been way way off and
it comes to Trump and way way tilted against Trump
too ridiculous extremes. So the state of the polling right
now is actually to me very encouraging because I'm living
for that moment, Heidie, and I want to hear from
you now when you think that moment will come. I'm
living for that moment when political gravity begins to take
(21:04):
effect and Harris's numbers start coming down and the sheer
panic there's going to be on the other side because
they know how bad she is. I mean that the
Democrats in the know know how bad she is.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I agree, but I'm still very worried, and I hate
to put this out into the universe that they are
going to take Biden now and put her in as
the first female president and they'll wait till the end
of September, so things are just starting to slide down,
and there's not going to be a lot of time
to counteract that bump.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, okay, and you're right to be concerned about that,
And let's assume at this point that's going to happen, okay,
And I think there are reasons, and I'd love to
hear from folks on whether they think it's going to
happen or not. But if it does, you're right, she's
going to get some bump from that. But at the
same time, it's so dangerous to her because at that
(21:58):
point she's going to have to come out out of
the basement. She's going to have to talk more. They've
only let her talk now from everything I can tell,
they be in the cabal for maybe a combined two
or three minutes in the last month, other than you know,
scripted stuff from a podium, and it has not gone
well for them. If all of a sudden she's actually president,
(22:19):
they can't hide her as easily and people will get
the chance to see there's something off here.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I hope that they do start having her speak more.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
But I don't believe it's going to happen. Even Dan,
I would push back a little bit. I don't think
they're going to even do it if she is the president.
I think they're going to hide her and just put
her on script and basically use their press secretary who's terrible,
to defend her constantly.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, yeah, well no, you're right to have that on
the horizon, because to me, one of the most significant
positive indicators for Trump is that Harris did that about
face late last week. Media didn't cover it much because
it's bad for where She now says, yes, she's going
to agree to an October debate, sure sign that she
expects to be losing in October. Right, But I want
(23:09):
to get to this text, Tidi, because I made the
point earlier and I stand by it. I can defend it,
I can prove it. I believe that Joe Biden right
now is intellectually superior to Kamala Harris, and now she
can give a better speech and all this and that.
But I'm talking about the intellectual firepower necessary to reason,
to process, to defend.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Arguments, etc.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And then we have a Texter who says, oh, come on, Dan,
you know Biden is in cognitive decline. I'll give you
the verbatim, you have to understand cognitive impairment. Those that
suffer have good times in bad. When Joe is doing good,
yet better than Harris, when Joe doesn't even know where
he is, Harris is better that from our friend Patty.
That's my point though, That's my point is in those
(23:57):
in those lucid moments right now and with Biden, I
would say it's about thirty seventy in those lucid moments,
he is so far superior to her intellectually and right now,
I know the American people haven't had a chance to
see it in full, but the Democrats can see it.
They know it right, and eventually it's going to get
(24:20):
exposed in this campaign.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Well, I want to talk about a poll that's kind
of related to this too. It's about who people trust
to handle the issues, the major issues that we're facing.
And this was a CBS poll which is not almost
in our favor, and it came out this morning and
it said the President Trump is leading her on the
major issues, which the economy, it's fifty six Trump, forty
(24:44):
three percent her, inflation at sixty one percent, him thirty
eight percent, her, the border seventy six percent Trump twenty
four percent Kamala, and I would suggest that part of
that is her ability to process and go after issues
and intellectual we deal with them.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
What are your thoughts there.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well, yes, because I think what the American people have
seen It's why she was at thirty eight percent and
they were talking about replacing her on the.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Ticket, etc.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Is the American people have seen enough of her over
the years. And that's one reason we should be so
thankful that Biden inflicted her on the Obamas and everybody
else who wanted an open process, because imagine if we
had Whitmer Shapiro or Shapiro Whitmer, they wouldn't have this
track record. People have seen Kamala long enough to know
(25:31):
the reality of her. So on each of those major
issues you just mentioned, right, what person truly in the
middle in a swing state would have any reason to
trust her more on those issues than Trump? And so
I think the only reason it's close in the polls
right now is I think the media is using the
polls to artificially pump her up. And unfortunately, you know,
(25:55):
there is this large group that intensely dislikes it's the
former president. Part of that is because of his great accomplishments.
Almost all the great figures in human history, I would
say probably all have been very polarizing because they were
willing to do the big things that needed to be done.
And the reason so many others weren't willing to do
(26:15):
that is because you make enemies in the process.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, I mean, I just I do believe that they
are using the polls to pump up enthusiasm for her,
and I don't think that they're an accurate representation of
where people sit on the issues on.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Trump versus Kamala.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
But then again, they had someone who was not very
healthy running before that they didn't feel good about. So
a lot of this bump is just, hey, we have
a viable candidate actually, right, So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And then think back on at Heidia is kind of
amazing to think about. Then what we want to do
with you in the next segment is I'll get to
some of our great texture. We want to get you
some of the keys. Sound that's emerged over the weekend
after Harris made the second biggest political mistake in modern
American history when she came out and endorsed these Venezuelans
(27:12):
style price controls on Friday, but then some more sound emerged.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We want to get to you in the next break
in fact, why don't we do that now? Heidi then
Quebec and kick around what we were just talking about.
Eight five to five for zero five A two five
five the number, And let's ask you this and we'll
get Heidie's take as well. When do you think gravity
takes over and Harris's numbers start to fall? Eight five
five for zero five A two five five takes d
(27:38):
an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (27:46):
Yeah, I mean she has some good policies in this factor.
I think the Child Act credit is a good thing.
That she wants to deregulate housings so we can get
more homes, but.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The price gouging is just well.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Kevin Rampell, a Washington Post columnist a News Hour contributor,
said it's impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is,
and I agree with that. And Catherine had a good
line that if your opponent is calling you a communist, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Don't lead with price controls.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
And so price controls just create shortages that create black markets.
We've seen it happen in Venezuela. We've seen it happen
in the Soviet Union. Price controls just don't work.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
That is David Brooks, and I'd say David Blank and Brooks,
but that's reserved for Peyton Manning. Heidi gannol in studio
on Dan Kapitlist, Glad you're here eight five five for
zero five eight two five five text d An five
seven seven three nine. We'll get to some more of
that Brooks sound. Heidi, I respectfully submit that we'll look
back in four to six weeks and it will be
(28:43):
universally acknowledged that Friday, last Friday, when Harris came out
openly in favor of these price controls, that was when
her campaign officially submarined. And I understand there'll be some
stuff to work through in the meantime, but that's going
to come back to bite her in so many different ways,
so many different spots. Can you imagine, Heidi, what can
(29:06):
be done right now by the Trump team with this,
given that you have what David Brooks just said, you
have what the Washington Post said, you have what CNN said,
and you can package all of that into a spot
just nailing her as Trump labeled her a comedy. Do
you think that's going to fly well?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And add that to add to that, the corporate tax
rate policies she came out was she's going to increase
the corporate tax rate from twenty one percent to twenty
eight percent. That combined with price fixing, is pretty much
a done deal for our economy.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Like this is no go and it's the complete.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Opposite of what Donald Trump did with our economy and
why things were humming and just going gangbusters when he
was president.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And then this sound now and you have to believe
people are a big bank of this, and they're releasing
it the campaign, the party, etc. When it's most effective. Ryan,
could you pull up cut seven and dead. This is
Harris threatening to snatch patents away from drug companies cut seven.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
The other thing is this, if people don't want to
cooperate with that, I'm also going to do the next thing,
which is this, A lot of drugs, prescription medication was
born out of federal funding for the research and development
of that drug. Your taxpayer dollars. So for any drug
(30:28):
where they fail to pay by our rules, and if
that drug came.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
About because of federal.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Funding for what's called r and D, research and development.
I will snatch their patent so that we will take over.
And yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can
do that.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yes we can do that.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
It's the question do you have the will to do it?
I have the will to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
So this is, in other words, Harris's version of duty
to die.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Okay, So the government, probably the least deficient mechanism any
of us have ever experienced, is going to come in
and take over the pharmaceutical industry unless the pharmaceutical industry
plays by you know, Kamala Marx's rules, which they never
could because then they couldn't generate the profit to make
it all worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Wow, what could go wrong there?
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Ah, just added to the list. But my worry, Dan
is that the media is not going to cover any
of this. So Trump's got to pay to get his
message out. Yeah, and he's raising a lot of money,
but that money goes fast, and there's there's one chance
to get into voters' ears about all these different things.
So which one does he lead with? Like, what clips
(31:44):
does he lead with? If he has to pick one?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That is a great point, Heidi, because he has so
much to work with. Nobody has ever had this much
to work with before against a candidate. Unfortunately, because of
you know, deposing Joe Biden, et cetera, there's a shortened
period of time. But in terms of money, listen, if
the RNC and Trump campaign cannot raise the money it
takes to saturate the only states that matter on this
(32:08):
the six swing states, then they're not going to win anyway,
because you can saturate the six swing states with what
seven hundred and fifty million, Maybe you can saturate them
with that. But and I think they will be able
to raise that money, and I think they'll do it
very effectively. He do you let me get to some
text and get your reactions to it. To these texts, Dan,
(32:30):
I think Americans have seen enough of Trump over the years,
not just Haris. Like you say, his behavior is disgusting
with no signs of changing, even after God saved him
in his near death. Experience your reaction, Heidi.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
This isn't about Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
At the end of the day, It's about communism, and
it's about our child child, our children's future. It's about America.
It's about picking the best policy. And how on earth
you could even think about voting for Kamala the Democrats,
after all the decisions they've made in the last three
and a half years around the border, around inflation, around control,
(33:06):
freedom of speech.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
It blows me away.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And I disagree with the Texter's characterization of Trump, but
I agree with the texture that Trump is not changing.
I think he's made that clear. I think that will
help him with many, many voters. And then what I
modestly call the capitalist principle. I think he's going to
win and win solidly because there's going to be such
a significant group of people who don't like him but
(33:33):
are going to vote for him out of their own
self interest. Closed borders, better economy, everybody knows the talking points.
So a Texter says Dan, two weeks after the convention,
that's when Harris's numbers start to fall.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Political gravity takes over. What do you think that timing
is hiding?
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, I agree with the texter. I think give it
a couple of weeks, the shine will wear off. I mean,
it was only what two weeks after the RNC before
they boost booted Biden and Kamelin?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Is my time frame correct?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah? It was? Wasn't it about a week?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Maybe a week.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I thought it was about a week max. I thought
it was about a week max. But but when the.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Fall comes, what's there to break it? You know, the debates,
if those go well, for the September ten debate, as
you say, decent chance, the cabal runs Biden out of
the White House and she takes over as president. But
then she's not going to be able to hide as much,
so you know, maybe that's a double edged sword.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
HOI do you what do you make of this text? Dan?
Speaker 3 (34:30):
You're whistling in the graveyard. It's actually past the graveyard.
This race is over, and I blame Republicans. They're too
soft to play the game Democrats are playing. Let's start
on the other side with that one, Heidi eight five
five for zero five eight two five five texts d
A N five seven seven three nine. The DNC has started,
complete with free abortions. Why are they even having this
(34:51):
in Chicago? Isn't that reason enough to vote against Dems?
And I love the city I grew up there, But
doesn't it just show Democrats aren't thinking well and they're
certainly not about merit

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Glad you are here.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Eight five five four zero five eight two five five
the number, the worst number for hopefully the best talk show.
But we're syndicated, so we have to have this clumsy number.
Eight five five four zero five eight two five five.
Text us at d AN five seven seven three nine.
Who's the US chemo Sabi? Well, of course it's Ryan
(00:43):
as always and Kelly, but also the wonderful Heidigan, all
kind enough to be with us today, and Lord knows
there is a lot to chew on, and it's it's
not quit just the DNC and Chicago of course, are
going to be all over that.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You can count on us.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Every day to be looking three four five six steps
ahead when it comes to this historic presidential race, historically
wacko right and high stakes, but a lot of stuff
going on locally as well, So glad you are here, Heidi.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm remote today, so it's not the same. We can't
just look at each other and cue each other and
everything else. But how you doing, Heidie?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It's going to be an exciting week, so much to
talk about. There's already so much action at the actual DNC.
I just heard the protesters rip the fence down, so
it's already getting feisty.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow, are you pulling for the protesters? No? No, I
want everybody to be You got your hand on the Bible.
I can feel it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I can't see it because I'm not in studio with you,
But are you pulling for the protesters?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I just want them to feel a little bit of
the pain that they've created on their own behalf. So
I don't want anybody to get hurt. I want it
to be somewhat safe. But I'm all in for a
little bit of craziness to go on and distract everybody
from the show that the and the DNC is going
to put on for all of.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Us this week.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Right, And I was listening to Ryan's show, so I
know I'm about to get somebody drunk by saying this
early and often.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But I think back to nineteen sixty eight. I can
watch my dad. I was a little kid. I can
watch my dad.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I can still picture him, Heidi, like it was breakfast today,
walking out of the house with his You know, they
didn't have swat gear in those days. But I can
picture the blue, the light Robin blue helmet that he
had on his head, with the visor with the Chicago
Police star on the front. Back in those days it
was Billy Club. So he had the Billy Club, he
(02:35):
had his gune and I can watch him going off.
He was front lines right in front of the Conrad
Hilton during that convention, and so it's kind of a
flashback on that. So like you, of course, I don't
want any law enforcement hurt. I don't want anybody hurt.
I do think though, Heidi, this is typical of the
Democratic Party right where it's the opposite of what doctor King.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Preached was let's just base this all on merit.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
What the hades are they doing in Chicago to begin with?
I mean, isn't this kind of the ultimate DEI Chicago.
If you're the Democratic Party and you're trying to win
this race, that's the last place you want.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
To have it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You want to be in Philadelphia, you want to be
in Phoenix. Why in the world are they in Chicago
to begin with? It tells you everything you need to
know about why not to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's a great point.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I think that's one of the most unsafe cities in
the country.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, Denver's getting up there.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
But it's interesting that Biden is speaking tonight, Like at
the RNC the first night, I mean, we had some
great speakers, don't get me wrong, but it certainly was
not the plumb assignment, right, I.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Mean, think about it.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
At the great point, Heidi, this is the president, the
democratically elected nominee who they deposed and in the a
Soviet style purge, they deposed him behind the scenes, installed Harris,
and now the sitting president who got fourteen million votes
Harris got none, gets a Monday night slot. I mean,
(04:05):
that's like where you put the mipillow guy on Monday
night slot.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well, and also it looks like from what I'm reading
in the news, various outlets are saying that the Obamas
and the Bidens are not going to be there for
Kamala's speech on Thursday night, they're headed out of town.
And get this, Dan, there were U hauls in front
of the White House today. What on earth does that mean?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
The U haul thing we could have some fun with, right,
But let's start with I hadn't heard this, Heidi. So
you're saying Obama's and Clinton's are not going to be
there for the Harris speech.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Obamas and Biden's, Biden's are not staying around.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Wow, but the Obamas are not going to be around.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's right, that's what they They're voting with their feet.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I mean, because you go back to remember in the
very beginning, when Biden was deposed and Harris was installed
ultimate backroom deal Obamas, both of them came out and
opposed it. Remember that they have hosed it, and they
said they wanted an open, free process here. So why
do you think, why do you think they're fleeing the scene.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I don't think they want to be attached to what
is going to be the train wreck that is going
to be Kamala's speech on Thursday night, or at least
the interviews around it. I don't know if they're going
to let her loose to do any interviews, but even
the few of the interviews she's done. Just the little
questions here and there over the last couple of days
have been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
My theory is that, you know, when you take their
initial announcement, they weren't back in Harris, and they quickly
fell in line right when it appeared that Biden it
out maneuvered them, but they didn't want her to begin with.
If they're not going to be there for the speech
on Thursday night, yeah, that is a loud and clear
message that they believe she is going to lose and
(05:49):
they don't want that loss on them, right, and there
are so many reasons to believe as we sit here
right now, that she is going to lose.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Even before I.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Think she blew up her own campaign on Friday by going,
you know, full out putting YOURSM Tommie Marxism, socialism, you know,
with her price control stuff. But even David Brooks and
CNN and Washington Post came down hard on her for
comparing it to Venezuela. So even before then, I think
(06:19):
that the Obamas could see the big l coming.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So, Dan, you've talked a little bit about whether Waltz
will get replaced. What you're feeling right now based on
how you're seeing this play out at the convention.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, I am so optimistic, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I am so optimistic that he will not get replaced
at the convention, which makes it very hard to replace
him afterward. And at this point, I mean, you'd have
to ask among the Dems who would want it. Do
you think Josh Shapiro would want it?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
At this point?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I hope not because one of the reasons I'm so
optimistic today, and like you have got all my notes
in front of me, my list starts with Pennsylvania. Because
even when you have all these fake polls now, and
this is what most of the media does. They lie
for Democrats, and one form of lying they do is
the polls to try to get Democrats pumped up, raise money,
(07:11):
discourage Republicans, discourage Republican fundraising. They do it every cycle.
Every cycle they get exposed, and then they come back
and do it again. So even with all of that
lying right now by the regime media with Poles, you
still you still have Trump up in Pennsylvania, and it's
(07:31):
all about Pennsylvania, right So at this point I am
a optimistic that Waltz stays on the ticket and b
that means they lose Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Well, Josh Shapiro is not coming to the DNC apparently either.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh really, how do you know all these anxieties.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I study it? It's like, yeah, you must.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I mean I think I study hard for this show.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You have a you have a day job.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, but you know I do study hard for this show.
So you're saying the euro is not coming either.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
That's what they're saying. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
On a lot of the different outlets, they're saying Shapiro's
not coming, Fetterman's not coming.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Ooh bye boy. That would be such great news.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, maybe that explains why Obama's aren't going to be
there on Thursday night, because if she at this point
is just blowing off Pennsylvania that they can't win.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I agree, I don't understand that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I mean, everybody that I talked to knows that Pennsylvania
is the most critical state in the entire country. In fact,
I talked to a Turning Point team today about how
can we in Colorado help in Pennsylvania, Like how can
we get people here, calling, texting, working the phones to
get voters that aren't likely to show up, typically that
(08:44):
maybe voted in twenty sixteen, not in twenty twenty to
activate and show up.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And it's really easy. You just get on the app,
you do it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And I think that's one of the key ways that
us in Colorado can help. Now we've got our congressional
races that are really important here. I'm worried about CD three.
We've got to activate and help Jeff Hurt over there.
But I want to be involved nationally, and I think
if we adopted Pennsylvania, I think that's a good move
for colorad I.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Don't think that is an excellent point, especially because it's
way too hot in Phoenix right now. Right not that
Philly is going to be a treat, but and I
know you're saying we can do all this remotely, which
is beautiful. A FI five four zero five eight two
five five text DA N five seven seven through nine. Obviously,
Heidi ganall in studio, I'm remote. We're doing this together,
(09:28):
but we've got to have you and when we come back,
let's let's talk about a few things.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Heidi. First of all, you mentioned the U haul outside
the White House.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Now, obviously you know that could be another Biden dog
went to the bathroom on some rugs. But let's come
back and talk about with Biden being limited to this
Monday night slot, et cetera. Do you think Biden is
leaving the presidency? Do you think he will leave the
presidency before election day to help boost Harris, who is
obvis obviously going to need that. By the way, why
(09:58):
is Biden's name still all over the Democratic Party platform?
You're on the Dan Capital Show.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You unveiled your et some economic policies last week. Can
you explain how you're going to pay for those and
can you give us a sense of what other policies
you want to unveil going forward?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Well, I mean you just look at it in terms
of what we are talking about, for example, around sure
and the child tax credit and extending the EITC that
it's at six thousand dollars for the first year of
loot the child's life. The return on that investment, in
terms of what that will do and what it will.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Pay for it will be tremendous. We've seen it when
we did it in the first year of our administration.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
We reduced top obviously by over fifty percent. So that's
a lot of the work and then what we're doing
in terms of the tax credits. We know that there's
a great return on investment, and when we increase home
ownership in America, what that means in terms of increasing
the tax base and optometric property tax base, what that
does to fund schools?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Again, return on investment.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
I think it's a mistake for any person who talks
about public policy to not critically evaluate how.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You measure the returns.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
When you were strengthening neighborhood, strengthening communities and poking of
the economy of those munities and investing in a broad
based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for it.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Z Oh, my lord.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know the best part of that, Heidi, Heidi genallin
studio today. The best part of that was the look
on the faces of Waltz and his wife and Harris's husband,
who were standing behind her as she was rambling on
like that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That was no campaign of joy. They looked absolutely despondent.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I mean, you know, somebody gave her this or she's
got it in her head, this ROI return on investment,
and she just keeps saying it over and over again.
Obviously she has no way to pay for this right,
and we know that printing money got us into this
insane inflation thing to begin with, and inflation is, if
it's not immigration, inflation and is going to drive this
vote because it's hurting people so badly, And she obviously
(12:04):
doesn't know what she's talking about. I mean, you tell me, Hedey,
I want your honest take on this, and I know
you're always straight about everything, but I want to hear
from folks as well. Eight five to five four zero
five eight two five five text d an five seven
seven three nine. I think Joe Biden. I think Joe
Biden is intellectually superior to Kamala Harris right now.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh what do you think?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That is a strong, bold statement.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't think she has a clue what she's talking
about when it comes to the economy or wealth or inflation.
I think most everyday Americans are rolling their eyes when
they hear this stuff and they're like, what on earth?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
But then there's the half of the country that's like, that's.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
All right, We'll vote for her anyway because we don't
like Trump because he tweets mean things.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah no, no, you're right about that, And there's a
big block unfortunately going to vote against the president. But
I mean it, and I'd love to have this discussion
with you and everybody else. I think right now, Joe
Biden is clearly intellectually superior to Kamala Harris. Now by that,
I mean the ability to understand issues, to formulate a position,
(13:16):
to defend a position.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
To have the conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Now, Kamala Harris can get up and give a much
much better speech, and be much more articulate with that speech,
and have energy and everything else. You know, that just
falls into its own category. But I'm talking about intellectual
strength and firepower.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Biden has more right now.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm not saying that's a lot, but he has more
than she does.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
I believe I wouldn't argue that at this point because
I just can't even fathom this woman being in charge
of our economy, in charge of the nuclear button, in
charge of the border.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We've already seen how that's gone.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Dan, did you hear about this US Citizenship Act that's
part of the DNC platform.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No, what's it?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oh, lordy, lordy.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's bad, double lordy.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yes, it's going to give illegals social Security numbers. It's
going to waive their inadmissibility to come back into the
country if they've used welfare wrongly or if they voted illegally.
Taxpayers are going to pay for those that were already
deported to come back for amnesty.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It's insane. It's insane.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It's as bad as the policy she talked about on
the economy on Friday, for the border and for immigration
and for our job situation in America.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Hey, and let me respectfully quibble a little bit there,
because everything you just described as awful, horrible, cataclysmic. But
I don't think it's as bad as what she said Friday,
because when she came out on Friday in favor of
price controls, when she went and again, this is against
the backdrop of somebody who has committed to guaranteed equal outcome,
(15:03):
not equal opportunity, but guaranteed equal outcome, which is at
the heart of communism socialism. Right, when she comes out
with this price control stuff, Heidi, I think at this
point she has made it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Clear she is full throttle hard left.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
She intends to win by invigorating that base, turning out
people on the left who've never voted before, because it's
going to be clear to them, you know, Kamala Harris
is all in up until the point of adopting these
core socialist, if not communist beliefs.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I agree, I agree. I'll give you that one.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I just it was just another policy that came out
that I scratched my head.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I was like, why do they.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Think that America is going to agree that this is
a good idea? I mean, I believe a more majority
of Americans want the border closed and they want people
to ported if they're here illegally.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Is that your understanding?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
What d You're talking about democratic policy? Now, this DNC
platform business you just mentioned is entirely new to me.
But you're talking about Democrat border policy, right, I mean yes,
at this point, isn't it clear to every American that
Democrat border policy is an open border? I cannot imagine
(16:19):
that there are going to be many people voting who
don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Then why are they voting for that? Why do they
want more of that?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
We see it here in Denver, in Colorado, in the
Venezuelan gangs that are starting to pop up and the
crime is out of control.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I don't know if you saw in the news of
Colorado springs, but.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I'm paying a lot of attention to this because the
Rocky Mountain Voice we aggregate news. They've been like ten
stores that had cars driven into them.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh yeah, crazy, That is not a lot of them
a smoke shop.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But to answer your great question, Heidi, I think we've
got a confluence of very dangerous events. And let's start
with the fact that you have a bunch of people,
unfortunate lee who are going to vote against President Trump,
no matter how bad the alternative is, right, yep.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And that is unfortunately a very large group.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And then on top of that, we've got a certain
percentage who want.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
A socialist nation. I mean, look at the polls. I
know you do. It is I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Remember whether it's eighteen percent, twenty five percent, whatever, but
there are plenty of polls indicating there's a pretty significant
core group that want a socialist nation. And then you've
got other people who, again on the radical side, who
simply want open borders. So when you combine you know,
the Trump haters who will vote against him no matter what,
(17:41):
with these other hardcore lefty they want a socialist America,
all of a sudden you come close to enough votes
to win the election. Now, thank God for whoever came
up with the electoral college, right, Thank you God, thank
you Founders, because that's what's going to stop him.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's how we're going to save America once again.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Is because the swing states get to decide this eight
five five four zero five eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. When we
come back, Heidi and I will review some current polling
data which, while the Democrats are celebrating, it should give
you great cause for hope.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
If like us, you want to see Trump win.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You're listening to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
What a moment of hastorm we're living through together. Eight
five five four zero five eight two five five the
number text dayan dam five seven seven three nine. Heidi
Ganal with us in studio today. I'm actually remote, but
want to zero in.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now on.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
The current state of the polls and why they should
be so encouraging. And we have much more to cover
in this segment. But but Heidie, as we look at
the polls right now, and I think they're a lie.
I think that you've got the regime media. Others say mainstream,
which openly lies for the Harris campaign. In one form
(19:10):
of that line is polling. But even given that Harris
is only up the Real Clear Politics average right now,
Harris is only up two point nine. That's nationally, and
as you know, at this point in the twenty six
teen campaign, in the twenty twenty campaign, Trump's opponents were
up a lot more than that.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, Dan, I remember that, and I'm hopeful because of
the current numbers. And I go back to it's the
Swing States, it's those key cities, those five cities, and
they are comprised of good old like, hardcore Americans who
love their country, who don't want to see us go
towards socialism, communism, and who work their tails off and
(19:52):
are really frustrated with what's happening with inflation in the economy.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Right And when you get within the Swing States and
we get into that individual polling. By the way, at
this point in twenty Biden was up seven point nine
in the Real Clear Politics average, and at this point
in sixteen, Clinton was up six point eight. Even with
this full month now of beatification of Harris and lying
(20:17):
for Harrison, cooked up poles for Harris you know, she's
only up two point eight or two point nine, and
then when you break into the swings, you've got that
not to get all wonky, but you've got the New
York Times Sienna polls pumping it up for Harris. But
even with that, you've still got Trump leading in certain
swing states, including on average Pennsylvania. And historically the New
(20:40):
York Times Siena poll has been way way off and
it comes to Trump and way way tilted against Trump
too ridiculous extremes. So the state of the polling right
now is actually to me very encouraging because I'm living
for that moment, Heidie, and I want to hear from
you now when you think that moment will come. I'm
living for that moment when political gravity begins to take
(21:04):
effect and Harris's numbers start coming down and the sheer
panic there's going to be on the other side because
they know how bad she is. I mean that the
Democrats in the know know how bad she is.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I agree, but I'm still very worried, and I hate
to put this out into the universe that they are
going to take Biden now and put her in as
the first female president and they'll wait till the end
of September, so things are just starting to slide down,
and there's not going to be a lot of time
to counteract that bump.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, okay, and you're right to be concerned about that,
And let's assume at this point that's going to happen, okay,
And I think there are reasons, and I'd love to
hear from folks on whether they think it's going to
happen or not. But if it does, you're right, she's
going to get some bump from that. But at the
same time, it's so dangerous to her because at that
(21:58):
point she's going to have to come out out of
the basement. She's going to have to talk more. They've
only let her talk now from everything I can tell,
they be in the cabal for maybe a combined two
or three minutes in the last month, other than you know,
scripted stuff from a podium, and it has not gone
well for them. If all of a sudden she's actually president,
(22:19):
they can't hide her as easily and people will get
the chance to see there's something off here.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I hope that they do start having her speak more.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
But I don't believe it's going to happen. Even Dan,
I would push back a little bit. I don't think
they're going to even do it if she is the president.
I think they're going to hide her and just put
her on script and basically use their press secretary who's terrible,
to defend her constantly.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, yeah, well no, you're right to have that on
the horizon, because to me, one of the most significant
positive indicators for Trump is that Harris did that about
face late last week. Media didn't cover it much because
it's bad for where She now says, yes, she's going
to agree to an October debate, sure sign that she
expects to be losing in October. Right, But I want
(23:09):
to get to this text, Tidi, because I made the
point earlier and I stand by it. I can defend it,
I can prove it. I believe that Joe Biden right
now is intellectually superior to Kamala Harris, and now she
can give a better speech and all this and that.
But I'm talking about the intellectual firepower necessary to reason,
to process, to defend.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Arguments, etc.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And then we have a Texter who says, oh, come on, Dan,
you know Biden is in cognitive decline. I'll give you
the verbatim, you have to understand cognitive impairment. Those that
suffer have good times in bad. When Joe is doing good,
yet better than Harris, when Joe doesn't even know where
he is, Harris is better that from our friend Patty.
That's my point though, That's my point is in those
(23:57):
in those lucid moments right now and with Biden, I
would say it's about thirty seventy in those lucid moments,
he is so far superior to her intellectually and right now,
I know the American people haven't had a chance to
see it in full, but the Democrats can see it.
They know it right, and eventually it's going to get
(24:20):
exposed in this campaign.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Well, I want to talk about a poll that's kind
of related to this too. It's about who people trust
to handle the issues, the major issues that we're facing.
And this was a CBS poll which is not almost
in our favor, and it came out this morning and
it said the President Trump is leading her on the
major issues, which the economy, it's fifty six Trump, forty
(24:44):
three percent her, inflation at sixty one percent, him thirty
eight percent, her, the border seventy six percent Trump twenty
four percent Kamala, and I would suggest that part of
that is her ability to process and go after issues
and intellectual we deal with them.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
What are your thoughts there.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well, yes, because I think what the American people have
seen It's why she was at thirty eight percent and
they were talking about replacing her on the.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Ticket, etc.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Is the American people have seen enough of her over
the years. And that's one reason we should be so
thankful that Biden inflicted her on the Obamas and everybody
else who wanted an open process, because imagine if we
had Whitmer Shapiro or Shapiro Whitmer, they wouldn't have this
track record. People have seen Kamala long enough to know
(25:31):
the reality of her. So on each of those major
issues you just mentioned, right, what person truly in the
middle in a swing state would have any reason to
trust her more on those issues than Trump? And so
I think the only reason it's close in the polls
right now is I think the media is using the
polls to artificially pump her up. And unfortunately, you know,
(25:55):
there is this large group that intensely dislikes it's the
former president. Part of that is because of his great accomplishments.
Almost all the great figures in human history, I would
say probably all have been very polarizing because they were
willing to do the big things that needed to be done.
And the reason so many others weren't willing to do
(26:15):
that is because you make enemies in the process.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, I mean, I just I do believe that they
are using the polls to pump up enthusiasm for her,
and I don't think that they're an accurate representation of
where people sit on the issues on.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Trump versus Kamala.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
But then again, they had someone who was not very
healthy running before that they didn't feel good about. So
a lot of this bump is just, hey, we have
a viable candidate actually, right, So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And then think back on at Heidia is kind of
amazing to think about. Then what we want to do
with you in the next segment is I'll get to
some of our great texture. We want to get you
some of the keys. Sound that's emerged over the weekend
after Harris made the second biggest political mistake in modern
American history when she came out and endorsed these Venezuelans
(27:12):
style price controls on Friday, but then some more sound emerged.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We want to get to you in the next break
in fact, why don't we do that now? Heidi then
Quebec and kick around what we were just talking about.
Eight five to five for zero five A two five
five the number, And let's ask you this and we'll
get Heidie's take as well. When do you think gravity
takes over and Harris's numbers start to fall? Eight five
five for zero five A two five five takes d
(27:38):
an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (27:46):
Yeah, I mean she has some good policies in this factor.
I think the Child Act credit is a good thing.
That she wants to deregulate housings so we can get
more homes, but.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The price gouging is just well.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Kevin Rampell, a Washington Post columnist a News Hour contributor,
said it's impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is,
and I agree with that. And Catherine had a good
line that if your opponent is calling you a communist, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Don't lead with price controls.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
And so price controls just create shortages that create black markets.
We've seen it happen in Venezuela. We've seen it happen
in the Soviet Union. Price controls just don't work.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
That is David Brooks, and I'd say David Blank and Brooks,
but that's reserved for Peyton Manning. Heidi gannol in studio
on Dan Kapitlist, Glad you're here eight five five for
zero five eight two five five text d An five
seven seven three nine. We'll get to some more of
that Brooks sound. Heidi, I respectfully submit that we'll look
back in four to six weeks and it will be
(28:43):
universally acknowledged that Friday, last Friday, when Harris came out
openly in favor of these price controls, that was when
her campaign officially submarined. And I understand there'll be some
stuff to work through in the meantime, but that's going
to come back to bite her in so many different ways,
so many different spots. Can you imagine, Heidi, what can
(29:06):
be done right now by the Trump team with this,
given that you have what David Brooks just said, you
have what the Washington Post said, you have what CNN said,
and you can package all of that into a spot
just nailing her as Trump labeled her a comedy. Do
you think that's going to fly well?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And add that to add to that, the corporate tax
rate policies she came out was she's going to increase
the corporate tax rate from twenty one percent to twenty
eight percent. That combined with price fixing, is pretty much
a done deal for our economy.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Like this is no go and it's the complete.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Opposite of what Donald Trump did with our economy and
why things were humming and just going gangbusters when he
was president.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And then this sound now and you have to believe
people are a big bank of this, and they're releasing
it the campaign, the party, etc. When it's most effective. Ryan,
could you pull up cut seven and dead. This is
Harris threatening to snatch patents away from drug companies cut seven.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
The other thing is this, if people don't want to
cooperate with that, I'm also going to do the next thing,
which is this, A lot of drugs, prescription medication was
born out of federal funding for the research and development
of that drug. Your taxpayer dollars. So for any drug
(30:28):
where they fail to pay by our rules, and if
that drug came.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
About because of federal.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Funding for what's called r and D, research and development.
I will snatch their patent so that we will take over.
And yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can
do that.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yes we can do that.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
It's the question do you have the will to do it?
I have the will to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
So this is, in other words, Harris's version of duty
to die.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Okay, So the government, probably the least deficient mechanism any
of us have ever experienced, is going to come in
and take over the pharmaceutical industry unless the pharmaceutical industry
plays by you know, Kamala Marx's rules, which they never
could because then they couldn't generate the profit to make
it all worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Wow, what could go wrong there?
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Ah, just added to the list. But my worry, Dan
is that the media is not going to cover any
of this. So Trump's got to pay to get his
message out. Yeah, and he's raising a lot of money,
but that money goes fast, and there's there's one chance
to get into voters' ears about all these different things.
So which one does he lead with? Like, what clips
(31:44):
does he lead with? If he has to pick one?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That is a great point, Heidi, because he has so
much to work with. Nobody has ever had this much
to work with before against a candidate. Unfortunately, because of
you know, deposing Joe Biden, et cetera, there's a shortened
period of time. But in terms of money, listen, if
the RNC and Trump campaign cannot raise the money it
takes to saturate the only states that matter on this
(32:08):
the six swing states, then they're not going to win anyway,
because you can saturate the six swing states with what
seven hundred and fifty million, Maybe you can saturate them
with that. But and I think they will be able
to raise that money, and I think they'll do it
very effectively. He do you let me get to some
text and get your reactions to it. To these texts, Dan,
(32:30):
I think Americans have seen enough of Trump over the years,
not just Haris. Like you say, his behavior is disgusting
with no signs of changing, even after God saved him
in his near death. Experience your reaction, Heidi.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
This isn't about Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
At the end of the day, It's about communism, and
it's about our child child, our children's future. It's about America.
It's about picking the best policy. And how on earth
you could even think about voting for Kamala the Democrats,
after all the decisions they've made in the last three
and a half years around the border, around inflation, around control,
(33:06):
freedom of speech.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
It blows me away.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And I disagree with the Texter's characterization of Trump, but
I agree with the texture that Trump is not changing.
I think he's made that clear. I think that will
help him with many, many voters. And then what I
modestly call the capitalist principle. I think he's going to
win and win solidly because there's going to be such
a significant group of people who don't like him but
(33:33):
are going to vote for him out of their own
self interest. Closed borders, better economy, everybody knows the talking points.
So a Texter says Dan, two weeks after the convention,
that's when Harris's numbers start to fall.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Political gravity takes over. What do you think that timing
is hiding?
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, I agree with the texter. I think give it
a couple of weeks, the shine will wear off. I mean,
it was only what two weeks after the RNC before
they boost booted Biden and Kamelin?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Is my time frame correct?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah? It was? Wasn't it about a week?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Maybe a week.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I thought it was about a week max. I thought
it was about a week max. But but when the.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Fall comes, what's there to break it? You know, the debates,
if those go well, for the September ten debate, as
you say, decent chance, the cabal runs Biden out of
the White House and she takes over as president. But
then she's not going to be able to hide as much,
so you know, maybe that's a double edged sword.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
HOI do you what do you make of this text? Dan?
Speaker 3 (34:30):
You're whistling in the graveyard. It's actually past the graveyard.
This race is over, and I blame Republicans. They're too
soft to play the game Democrats are playing. Let's start
on the other side with that one, Heidi eight five
five for zero five eight two five five texts d
A N five seven seven three nine. The DNC has started,
complete with free abortions. Why are they even having this
(34:51):
in Chicago? Isn't that reason enough to vote against Dems?
And I love the city I grew up there, But
doesn't it just show Democrats aren't thinking well and they're
certainly not about merit
