Donald Trump is free-wheeling with the media once again, saying America doesn't need another 'dummy' as President with Kamala Harris. Was this a step too far? 

Rep. Brandi Bradley (R-39) joins Dan to share her child's experience in the classroom with a teacher who insisted Leonardo da Vinci identified as 'gender fluid' in the 15th and early 16th centuries. Is there proof of this? Even so, why is this a point of emphasis in school?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Amazing. Think about
how close Election day is now. Obviously President Trump understands

(00:20):
that because overnight he is back to the old Donald J.
Trump in terms of his schedule. He's everywhere at once,
and that's where he needs to be for lots of
different obvious reasons, right, but also because he is sharper
than it's like any of us use it or lose it.
And when he's out there every day and he's in
that routine and he's on that pace, yeah, he's not
going to be perfect, none of us are, but boy,

(00:42):
it is nice. It is nice to see that, Mo.
And it looks to me, I mean, you can't say
definitively right now, and we don't have access to the true,
real polling, the internals, but it looks to me as
if Harris has not received that big post convention bounce
that was expected and as kind of all out and
if that's the case, tremendous news, because that'll be happening

(01:04):
about a week earlier than at least I would have
expected that. And let me ask you this as we
go back to our fiery phone lines and texters on
the topic of the day, not the only one, but
the hottest one right now, which is, hey should Trump?
Should Trump refuse to debate if Harris changes the rules?
And the Trump campaign says Harris is asking ABC to

(01:24):
change the rules so that the MIC's open instead of
muted when someone isn't talking, but most critically, far more
critically to me, Trump campaign claims they want the rules
change so that Harris is sitting down with notes, both
candidates sitting down with notes. Would you advise Trump to
walk away over any or all of those rule changes?

(01:45):
As to go back to the phone lines, My quick
theory on this is that Trump has every intention of
debating no matter what the rules, but that he's now
doing what Trump has done so well in the past,
which is make Trump the constant center of attention. You know,
I might be bad as his campus concluded that Harris
is receiving way too much of the attention and just

(02:06):
put Trump front and center all the time. So my
bed is he fully intends to e ten, but would
you have him walk away? Listen the business of the
MIC's being muted. I wouldn't walk away over that. If
someone wants to be president, they have to be able
to handle ninety minutes of an open mic, and President
Trump has handled that well in the past, and so

(02:26):
I wouldn't walk away over that. I understand Harris is
trying to set up one of those scripted moments where she,
you know, puts her hands on her hips and points
at Trump then and says, you know, it's my turn
to talk or something like that. But again, Donald Trump
can handle that, and she's going to do that regardless.
But my big concern is, no way in hades should

(02:48):
she be allowed to sit down with notes. America needs
to be able to compare the two standing side by side,
the presence they bring to the table, just as that's
part of leadership, just as that's part of foreign affairs
and dealing with our enemies overseas. Just standing there that
that contrast and the ability to stand on your own
two feet. That's why we've heard this since we were

(03:09):
little kids. Hey, stand on your own two feet. Stand
on your own two feet. Look your opponent in the eye.
Tell them what you believe in. Why if she's not
able to do that, then she shouldn't be president. And
so no, I would I advise Trump to walk away
over that. Let's talk about that. Eight five five four
zero five eight two five to five the number, Nancy,
I don't Bellevue. I don't know if you're on Bellevue

(03:29):
Street right now, in which case, be careful. I don't
know if you're in Bellevue, Washington. But welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Belvy Colorado and Dan. Thank you so much for taking
my call.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Thank you for making your call.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I win you.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I here's what I think. We've had a president in
the basement for the last four years. You wouldn't even
speak to the press. We have a public deserves answer.
So I say it said, Harris Scruce is going to
play these games, goes on the same d time on

(04:03):
that channel. Let them model and ask him the question with.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Ye answered.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Nancy. Appreciate the call. Thank you so much for that.
I was going to ask Nancy this question, but we
got shaky there in the cell connection. What would you
think of this? This is what Donald Trump had to
say today about Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
They also want to change the rules. You know, the
deal was we keep the same rules. Now all of
a sudden they we'll make a change in the rules
because she can't answer questions.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Why doesn't she do a couple of questions answer why
does she do something like I'm doing right now?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
She can't talk. We can't have another dummy as the president.

Speaker 8 (04:42):
Okay, we cannot have a dummie.

Speaker 7 (04:44):
And the people from Vietnam agree.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
With that, because what do you think of President Trump
going there?

Speaker 9 (04:50):
Now?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Obviously you're going to have some people say it's name colin,
it's sexist. It's that starting point. Is is it true
and past? When he's labeled people and there's been true
to it, that's when it's really stuck. Do you think
this is going to work for him? Do you think
it should be a constant refrain? You know my view,
for whatever it's worth, I don't think she's a dummy.

(05:12):
I don't think she's stupid. I think that she has
processing issues. I think there's something there that gets in
the way of her being able to process information, articulate
a position, defend a position, etc. I think that's different
than being intellectually incapable. But for this job, no, I

(05:33):
don't think she has. I don't think she has what
it takes for this job. For this job, you have
to be able to think, quick on your feet. You
have to be able to process information, defend a position.
You have to be able to expose the weakness of
the other. The fact, Ryan, you're counting the days. I
know you have something over your bed at night with
that number at least anyway, but how many days has

(05:55):
it been and she hasn't done an interview at that point?
That should be an automatic disqualifier. Thirty second not doesn't
mean they're a dummy, doesn't mean they're stupid. It just
means they do not have the ability to be president
of the United States. Though she's a coward, Well, no,
it was. She may just be smart about concealing her weaknesses.

(06:15):
That wouldn't make her a coward. But but she is
not capable of being president. If you can't regularly do
interviews like that, you cannot lead the nation. It's that simple.
She doesn't have the ability to lead the nation. Eight
fi five for zero five A two five five the number.
And to that point, I want to play you a

(06:36):
little bit of sound here. Uh, this is Brian Stelter,
And this is what I know. It's so hard for
us in Colorado to keep in mind because we're no
longer a swing state, but the swing states are getting
barraged with these ads. And and as you know, we've
been talking about it from the beginning of the coup
that deposed Biden. There is more to work with against

(06:57):
Harris than there has ever been for any candidate in
history in terms of video with the opponents saying these things.
It's not you claiming they said the things. You can
watch the opponent saying these things. And these are running.
These ads built around this are running now and are
going to be running throughout the Swing states.

Speaker 10 (07:16):
And it's a specific phase of life. Remember, age is
more than a chronological fact. What else do we know
about this population eighteenth through twenty four?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
They are stupid.

Speaker 10 (07:29):
That is why we put them in dormitories and they
have a resident assistant. They make really bad decisions.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
What do we know about this population eighteen or twenty four?
They are stupid. You run that on a loop over
and over and over again, and there's so much more there, right, So,
this is Brian Stelter over the weekend on CNN, just
admitting that he's been watching these ads in Pennsylvania and
he's terrified.

Speaker 11 (07:55):
When you were in Chicago, I was in Philly watching
swing state television. I want to watch the local ads
and see what Americans are watching. Between the speeches and
the ads against Harris. They're terrifying, right, They're they're about
the border, they're about immigration. That's why Harris needs to
go out and do interviews and talk to people and
answer questions now, because that's price tell her on CNA.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, they're terrifying because they revealed the truth and the
border ad they're talking about is is the one where
she sits there with lester Holt, who's no writing, and
lester Holt is saying, you haven't been to the word. Yeah,
but I haven't been to Europe, so so the truth
will will defeat her. That's why Obamas didn't want to
back her in the beginning. Nancy in Bellevue wants to
answer that question, Nancy, should President Trump, and you obviously

(08:38):
speak from a woman's perspective, should President Trump continue this line?
Let me play it for people that he started, well,
maybe didn't start it. Today on Harris, they also want
to change the rules.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
You know, the deal was we keep the same rules.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Now all of a sudden they want to make a
change of the rules because she can't answer questions. Why
doesn't she do a couple of question answer why does
she do something like I'm doing right now?

Speaker 7 (09:01):
She can't talk. We can't have another dummy as a president.

Speaker 8 (09:05):
Okay, we cannot have a dummy.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
And the people from Vietnam agree with that.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
So Nancy, from a woman's perspective, should the president continue
with this line of attack, we cannot have another dummy
as a president.

Speaker 12 (09:19):
Well, I mean, we can't have another dummy. On the
other hand, I mean I do understand Trump has been
attacked so much that, you know, I mean, what is
it rules for thee and none for me? So I
do get it, but I do wish he would just
really hit you know that she can't speak to Poundcy.

(09:43):
We don't need the you know, the barbs. But I
do understand why he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Nancy, I sure appreciate you calling back on that. Great
to get your take A five five or zero five,
A two five five have to cover some other really
ugly stuff going on in Denver, But would you advise
Trump to walk away over these proposed rule changes. You're
on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 13 (10:06):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
The truth is they're.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Trying to get out of it because she doesn't want
a debate. She's not a good debater, she's not a
smart person.

Speaker 8 (10:15):
She doesn't want a debate.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
But when I looked at the hostility during the weekend,
you watch it this week with George Slapadopoulos.

Speaker 8 (10:23):
But now we want to have fairness.

Speaker 7 (10:26):
We have to bring fairness back to the country.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
President Trump implying that he may not debate on September
ten because Harris insisting on the rules changes. I'm sure
you've heard a lot already about the proposal that the
mics be opened the entire time and the Trump teams
saying no, we had an agreed upon, realset of rules,
and Trump saying, yeah, open up the mics. The proposed
rule changes that bother me far more. If the Trump

(10:52):
campaign is accurate on this, is that she wants to
be sitting down with notes at that point. Would you
walk away over that? Because I think that's a concession
that should not be made patent for Collins. You're on
the dan Kapla, she'll welcome.

Speaker 14 (11:07):
Hey, damn, I just wanted to say I thought Trump
made the remark about dummy. I immediately you thought he
meant she was like an Vanrithicus dummy. Oh I can't talk.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, I think in context, Pat, let me play that
for folks again, especially those who weren't here. No, I
think he's saying she does not have the intellectual capacity
to be president. Let's listen together.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I also want to change the rules. You know, the
deal was we keep the same rules. Now all of
a sudden they want to make a change of the.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Rules because she can't answer questions. Why doesn't she do
a couple of question answer? Why does he do something
like I'm doing right now? She can't talk.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
We can't have another dummy as a president.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
Okay, we cannot have a dummy.

Speaker 15 (11:49):
And the people from Vietnam agree with that, because, Yeah,
it appears, Pat, that the president has decided to really
hammer hard.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
On that and that this is going to be an
ongoing theme that she's a dummy, she's stupid, she doesn't
have the intellectual capacity. So do you think that's a smart.

Speaker 14 (12:08):
Not take that tack. That's why I'm holding outsis atriloquist dummy.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Okay, I appreciate the call. It's interesting we've had two
women in a row say no, don't go there, and
that would be my inclination as well. Now Trump his campaign,
they're obviously very focused. Now he's in Higera, He's doing
a lot of events. And what do you think, do
you Ryan's such a pole geek? Can I say that
in a complimentary way? Ryan? Do you think there's a

(12:36):
chance here that the internals for Trump right now are
strong enough that they're sinking They may not want this debate.

Speaker 13 (12:48):
That's a good question. I don't know necessarily.

Speaker 16 (12:51):
I think as you watch this play out and how
they respond, it's kind of like poker. If they're playing
like they have a winning hand, then they probably have
a winning hand. I don't think they would bluff on
some like this, But I just don't think it's to
his advantage to avoid a debate. It might be the
only way you smoke her out of the woods and
get her out on the record on camera, to expose

(13:11):
herself for who she really is.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, and you know, my style and the way I've
lived my life is hey, let's go toe to toe
at the exchange of ideas, et cetera. So I want
to see them debate. But but we've been talking all
along here about the day is going to come. Political
gravity is going to take over, and all the protection
of the media, the beatification, all this phony stuff with her.
Eventually her number is going to peak, and then she's

(13:34):
going to start to move down. And here's the key
question for you and everybody else, da N five seven
seven thirty nine to text eight five five four zero
five eight two five five to call if and we
can't know, we can't see their internals, but or they're eternals, right,
I mean, we can't see eternity. We just hope to
be there in a good way. But if the internals

(13:56):
for the Trump campaign show some outside pollings seems to
be suggesting that she didn't get the big bump from
the DNC expected that she may be peaking. Well, once
she starts to fall, what is there to stop the
fall other than the debates. It's a good point.

Speaker 16 (14:17):
Nothing, because she's not going to be willing to come
out and do interviews or press conferences. We've already seen
she is totally averse to doing those.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, and I don't think those have the ability to
shape American opinion, to change arcs the way debates do. Correct,
So if she has started to fall, what is there
to stop the fall except the debates? Now, listen, Trump
wouldn't even consider just ducking out of the debates because
her numbers have started to fall. It would look too weak.

(14:48):
But if he has an excuse, such as an insistence
by her camp that the rules be changed, would you
advise him to take that out? Because other than the debates,
what's there to stop her fall? Now? A smart answer
might be, well, refusing to debate might stop her fall,

(15:08):
might change public impression of Trump. Do you think it
would eight five five or zero five? A two five five?
The number Dan and centennial. You're on the Dan capitalist,
She'll welcome many things.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Sure, take the two things here Trump. Trump knows the
history and the facts and the data. So well, get
Tony in to take the debate to expose more of
her nonsense. Now, I agree with you. He should come
back to them and say, no, I'll give you the
I'll give you no cards, no digital nonsense. I'll give

(15:40):
you no cards. But we're standing. And then when he
gets on stage he should have his whole pile of
little moose parts himself. He should take them and shuffle
him like a deck of cards and then throw them
over the sholder. Okay, okay, let's go. Now we're ready.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I like it. I like the visual, Dan, thank you
for that. And what do you think we have to
hit this hard break? But are there any circumstances under
which you would advise President Trump to walk away from
this debate or do you think that's just too risky
in terms of the voting public. I would say, don't
even consider walking away over the issue of whether the
mic is opening. I don't think he's considering that. Do

(16:19):
you consider walking away though, if she insists on being
seated and with notes.

Speaker 16 (16:23):
Here's why I don't, because it's going to perpetuate this myth,
this narrative of the storytelling of who she is, what
she is, and what she represents. Because the media is
absolutely going to run cover for us. They see Donald
Trump is afraid to debate her, he chickened out, he
wouldn't agree to terms, and they're going to carry that water.

Speaker 13 (16:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
How much of an impact does that have though, because listen,
the American public knows Trump very well, right now, there's
one thing they know for sure, he is not a coward, right,
and so how much of an impact would that have?
But here's what I want to do. We have to
this hard break, but we're going to come back and
we're going to institute a rule here. Remember I came
under heavy, heavy criticism, withering criticism, but I did not

(17:04):
flinch when I instituted a rule on this show that
we were no longer going to engage in any conversation
that assumed Joe Biden was going to be the Democrat nominee.
I did that a long time ago because it was
clear he was not going to be the nominee. And
that rule change ended up being a good one.

Speaker 17 (17:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I was unable to enforce it, but the fact that
I tried to put it in place was important. I
think we need another rule change. I think we need
another rule change right now, and I'm going to apply
it to myself and everybody else as well as I can.
If we're going to be the honest people that God
put us on this earth to be and only speak

(17:46):
the truth, we can never ever again refer to that
September tenth event as a debate. It is not going
to be a debate. ABC will not allow it to
be a debate. ABC will run cover for Harris. ABC
will make sure that this is what's the right word,

(18:06):
that this is a Kamala Harris press conference. So no
more referring to it as a debate because ABC won't
allow it to be.

Speaker 13 (18:15):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 11 (18:19):
So for people out there who like their insurance, well
they don't get to keep it.

Speaker 10 (18:22):
Let's eliminate all of that.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Let's move on. Imagine what's going on in the Swing
States right now. The Trump campaign has so much ammo
is that's why he's taught. If that's why he's talking
at this point about maybe backing out of the debate
over rules changes, is it because his internals are so
good he doesn't want to give her the opportunity to
gain ground at a debate because once her numbers start

(18:46):
to drop, Other than the debate, what is there to
stop the fall? Eight five five for zero five A
two five half the number? With that, I think he
should debate. Let's go to the VIP line. We'll get
back to our jam lines and text as well. But
State Rep. Brandy Bradley kind enough to join us. She
is making national news right now, and Brandy is out

(19:08):
of Littleton, Colorado or a Republican I'll read you one
headline from the New York Post. Colorado State Rep. Brandy
Bradley clashes with sons teacher who suggested Leonardo da Vinci
was gender fluid. Representative. Welcome to the dan Kapla show.

Speaker 17 (19:24):
Thank you, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Hey, appreciate your time. What is this nuttiness?

Speaker 18 (19:29):
Your guess is as good as sign right, what is
the nuttiness?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
My time came.

Speaker 18 (19:34):
Home and told me that his teacher told the glass
that da Vinci was gender fluid and that Demona Lisa
was a depiction of his feminine side. And I said,
I've never heard that, and did my due diligence of
going to Wikipedia and Google, since that's what a lot
of liberals do for their research.

Speaker 17 (19:52):
I couldn't find that anywhere.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So tell us about the I assume spirited discussion you had.

Speaker 18 (20:00):
My husband, I went to back to school night, and
you know, I don't love confrontation.

Speaker 17 (20:04):
My sister was the school teacher, my mom was a
school teacher.

Speaker 18 (20:06):
I love the majority of school teachers, but I did
ask her I.

Speaker 17 (20:11):
Said, where did you come up with us?

Speaker 18 (20:12):
And she said, well, there was a video approof I
Douglas County School District.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
And I said, I would like to.

Speaker 18 (20:17):
See that video, and she said that on that it
explained that Da Vinci, this feminine side of Da Vinci,
was a.

Speaker 17 (20:25):
Theory of the Mona Lisa.

Speaker 18 (20:26):
And so I watched the video and in the video
it said maybe once or twice that it was said
that Da Vinci might have been homosexual, But never in
this video did it say that the Mona Lisa was
a depiction of his feminine side.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, and how did the teacher respond all this?

Speaker 17 (20:45):
Say that one more time on the side?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
How did how did the teacher respond to it?

Speaker 18 (20:49):
She was very she was very upfront. You could tell
that we kind of caught her off guard, and I
think she didn't really know what to say. She seemed
very nervous about it. She tried to explain that it
was the difference between the rent On timeframe. And I'll
just reiterate, this isn't a fifth or, this isn't an
art history class. This isn't a college of course where
you're talking about expressionism and different things like this.

Speaker 17 (21:11):
This is a fifteen year old World history class.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, and that would be my question is why are
they even talking about this sort of thing in that class?
Or State Rep. Brandy Bradley from Littleton kind enough to
join us. Yeah, it would seem like going out of
their way to bring that into the curriculum.

Speaker 18 (21:30):
Well, that's what we're saying with the new social study standards.
I just posted that on my x account as well.
Parents should really look at what they're injecting into first
through eighth grade curriculum. I mean the LGBTQ narrative that
they're bringing in is frankly very horrifying to me as
a parent, and it should be too color of parents.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah. And if they're making the point okay, this artist,
somebody said this artist was gay, then for other artists,
do they say this artist is straight, and that are
artists is straight, and that artist is straight and this
great performer straight? Do they make that point for the
straight folks?

Speaker 18 (22:06):
Well, and how do you prove that narrative from the
fourteen hundred? I mean yeah, it was never proven.

Speaker 17 (22:12):
Somebody said that he was accused of soot. I mean,
well he was accused, he was never brought up on charges.

Speaker 18 (22:16):
So that's a mute point to me as well.

Speaker 17 (22:18):
Just teach world history, don't divert, and let's go forward.

Speaker 18 (22:22):
Our kids are so far behind from the COVID era
anyway that we don't have time for these false narratism,
woke ideology to get our kids off course, what a
great point.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
They should have better things to do, They should have
more important things to do right now than this. But
thank you very much for your time today. Look forward
to having you back.

Speaker 17 (22:41):
Thanks Dan, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Thank you. That is Colorado State Rep. Brandy Bradley. Yeah,
you would think they'd have higher priorities right now when
it comes to all of this referring to delving into
whether Leonardo da Vinci was gender fluid, etc. So appreciate
Andy Bradley joining us. And believe me, listen, I'm not

(23:02):
talking about ever censoring any truth or hiding truth or
this or that. Obviously you want age appropriate stuff depending
on the kids. I don't think fifteen year olds are
so young that they have to be shielded from everything
out there. But the point being that, as the Rep.
Just said, in this context, you know, was that critical,

(23:24):
was that essential? Was that something that time had to
be spent on or was this another effort to advance,
you know, a lefty agenda through the classroom eight five
five or zero five eight two five five the number.
Let's go to Glennon Parker. You're on the Dan Kaplin,
she'll welcome. I'm living the dream, my friend. How about you?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, me too?

Speaker 19 (23:47):
Every day. So that Ben Trilick was dummy thing is
very interesting to me because he's actually called both of
them Biden Anne Harris puppets, and they might have even
said something along those lines in that same string of remarks, and.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
That let me play the sound that you're referring to
for those who just joined us, thank you. But this
is President Trump, I believe today, referring to Kamala Harris
as a dummy. But the question that's arisen through our
really brilliant callers is is he saying that she lacks
intellectual capacity or that she's a puppet for others?

Speaker 5 (24:25):
I also want to change the rules. You know, the
deal was we keep the same rules.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
Now all of a sudden they want to make a
change of the rules because.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
She can't answer questions. Why doesn't she do a couple
of question answer? Why does she do something? Like I'm
doing right now. She can't talk. We can't have another
dummy as a president.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
We cannot have a dummy.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
And the people from Vietnam agree with that.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Because so, Glenn, you're the judge. Is he talking about
lack of intellectual capacity or a puppet for others?

Speaker 19 (24:58):
I would say it's a very clever on Tngdra. But
when he can't talk, when she can't talk on her own,
she's a puppet.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Interesting man, appreciate the call. Interesting take. I did not
see that one coming, but we've had several smart callers
make that point. I think that when you look at
it in broader context, I think President Trump has very
often said that Kamala Harris lacks intelligence in a lot
of different ways. So I tend to think that's this

(25:28):
theme now that he's he's making a more regular part
of the campaign. And what do you think about that?
Eight f five for zero five eight two five five
text d an five seven seven three nine A quick note.
I don't think that should be a theme in the
campaign for reasons we've discussed before, but clearly he is
going there. And listen, there are obvious process processing issues

(25:52):
with her. I just think there are ways to point
out that she lacks those capabilities to be president. I mean,
she can't even sit down for an interview, and we
all have the video over saying the wackiest things before
and coming across in a very odd way doing it.
So she doesn't have the abilities to be president. I
think there's a way to make that point without saying

(26:12):
she's stupid.

Speaker 16 (26:14):
But to Greg Guttfeld's observation, Dan, you and I talked
about this a couple of weeks ago. If there were
some very prescient remark that she had made in a
moment of clarity and it existed out there, would we
have seen it.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Over and over again. It's all we'd see, and then
we'd see mashups and recreations and ceremonies honoring it. That's
one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard, is
Guttfeld's point that, yeah, we don't have even one of
those that the left is trying to beat into the
swing state voters. We don't have even one of those.

(26:48):
Whereas we have, we can't even count how many of
these we've have.

Speaker 9 (26:53):
And when we all sing happy tunes of sing Merry
Christmas and wish each other merry Christmas. These children are
not going to have them Merry Christmas?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
How dare we speak?

Speaker 14 (27:05):
Merry Christmas?

Speaker 9 (27:07):
How dare we?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
It will be the biggest act of political malpractice in
human history if the Trump campaign isn't on every swing
state around the clock for at least a week before
election month with the last four point six seconds of
that that starts with, how dare we say, Mary Christmas?
How dare we? Especially since their whole campaign now is joy, right,

(27:28):
Their heategy is joy. It's all about joy.

Speaker 13 (27:30):
That's a video.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
People can watch that on TV. Ryan, I don't know
about you. She didn't look very joyful there at all
as she's scolding the American people, how dare you say,
Mary Christmas? How dare you? And that's one of maybe
fifteen different examples of that. So yeah, that's why, and
I'll play it when we get back given. Brian Stelter
on CNN said he's terrified to use the word terrified

(27:53):
of the ads that he now sees in the swing state.
So here's a question for you. If Kamala Harris has
in fact peaked, if that's what the intern are showing
the Trump campaign, then should they use this rules change
to get out of the debate, because once she starts
to drop, what's going to stop that fall other than
maybe a debate. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 13 (28:16):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
And the Maiden always said that he wants you to
be the last person in that room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room? Yes, and you feel comfortable?

Speaker 10 (28:35):
I do.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Horrific And you know, Biden's numbers never recovered after that humiliation,
that disaster in Afghanistan never recovered, and she has never
distanced herself from that. I mean, just the American people
get it that. That's one of the reasons I sleep
well at night. I mean, his numbers. I don't remember

(28:59):
the exact point he was at, but he was probably
five six points higher on average. He lost those and
he never got him back because the American people get it,
and I think the American people get it with her.
So here's the question for you. So much talk today
President Trump has initiated this of maybe him not debating
her on I'm not going to say it, him not

(29:21):
participating in the Kamala Harris press conference on September ten
on ABC because ABC is going to protect her to
the point it's not going to be a true debate.
It's going to be a Kamala Harris press conference with
Trump as a prop. But he's made some noise about
getting out of that, and don't want to get your
take on that. Should he or should he debate her

(29:41):
no matter what rules changes she wants, and ABC, which
is obviously blatantly biased in her favor, agrees to Dan.

Speaker 16 (29:49):
Yeah, let's say you and I were part of Donald
Trump's consulting team for this debate and its preparation. I
think you and I are uniform in the following, and
tell me if you disagree. I would prepare in much
the same way I did for Joe Biden. You knew
that Joe Biden was going to short circuit, and he did.
He flamed out spectacularly. Trump won that.

Speaker 13 (30:08):
In a knockout. Wasn't even a TKO.

Speaker 16 (30:11):
Wouldn't Donald Trump be better served Mike's open or clothes
doesn't matter.

Speaker 13 (30:14):
Let's say they're open.

Speaker 16 (30:15):
If he just sits there and waits and it just
doesn't interject and allows her to word salad her way
into a spin cycle from which she cannot recover.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
This is a tough one, Ryan, because listen, she the
difference is CNN did not protect Biden because CNN wanted
Biden gone as the nominee. Right. ABC is going to
protect Harris no matter what it takes. So let's say
that debate between Trump and Biden had occurred under these circumstances.
Biden's the nominee, He's the nominee to stay at September tenth.

(30:47):
ABC would have protected him. CNN would have protected him
to the point where what we saw could have never unfolded.
What we saw on June twenty seven could have never
unfolded that way. And so yeah, America might have got
a glimpse, had a hint, but he would have been
completely protected, just like ABC is going to protect her.
So for President Trump, it makes it so much harder

(31:08):
in my view, to your point, because she's going to
be so protected by ABC. It's going to be up
to him. It's going to be up to him to
find a way to try to interject and point out
that she's not answering the question without coming off as
some kind of out of control bully.

Speaker 13 (31:27):
But there's a pregnant pause. I think it can use
because we know what's going to happen.

Speaker 16 (31:30):
Harris is going to try to put quantity in place
of quality of a response is meaning as many words
as possibil abuster, filibuster to your point. But then also
she's going to trail off, She's going to lose her thoughts.
She's not going to make a point. And if Donald
Trump just sat there for a half beat, see if
she didn't answer the question and just go right into his.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Encounter error if you do it that way, but it's
so hard, it's so unfair to a candidate in Trump's
position when you are debating the moderators. But in this way,
listen to fine for Trump if he got to debate
the moderators directly on what her policies have been in
the past. But it's not going to be that way.
It's going to be the moderators protecting her. Remember I

(32:10):
mean even with Barack Obama, Romney had him on the
ropes and Crowley stepped in and told Romney he was
wrong when Romney was one hundred percent right. I remember that,
and you will see that sort of thing from ABC.
Whatever they have to do to protect her, they will
protect her. And I guarantee you this. We should do
this someday, but we won't. If we sat down and
we went through that Tune twenty seven debate between Trump

(32:32):
and Biden, will I could point out ten fifteen different
times when CNN could have stepped in to protect Biden
and they didn't, but they could have. And that is
what ABC will do for her. So this is a
Kamala Harris press conference where Donald Trump is going to
be a prop that ABC tries to make look as

(32:53):
bad as possible. Now that's the reality of what he's
walking into, in my opinion. And so then the uber
challenge for President Trump is how, in that circumstance understanding
ABC is not going to allow her to fail, how you,
President Trump, can can appeal to as many voters as possible,

(33:14):
How you can come off as well as possible in
that situation. Isn't that what we're talking about here? Isn't
that the reality of what we're talking about? And now,
according to the Trump campaign, her camp wants to be
seated with notes.

Speaker 16 (33:28):
Goodness, Yeah, I just think that he is well served
by not trying to do too much in what you
terma Kamala Harris press conference aided by ABC, which I
would agree with that characterization, but I don't think he
has to do a lot because is the first time
America's seeing her. Dan you look at a sports analogy,
She's not ready, she's not primed, she hasn't taken reps

(33:48):
in interviews or press conferences. Put her out there, make
her have to stand and deliver. She won't be able
to do it. She'll fold under pressure, the heat and
the light of the lamps above her, and he can
just sit there and watch it happen.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Well, and I think we can fine tune this a
little bit. It's not even going to be as demanding
as a Kamala Harris press conference. It's going to be
a series of k Kamala Harris little mini speeches presented
by ABC where she's protected by ABC because, as we
all know, they'll ask her tough initial questions which are meaningless.

(34:22):
All that matters are the follow up questions, Because anybody
conduct a tough question, but is the moderator going to
press you on the follow up? No, They're going to
protect her, and then they're going to try to interfere
with Trump when he tries to get her to follow up.
