Speaker 1 (00:00):

and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Do not be
discouraged right now. They want you to be so many
reasons when you just take a look at this thing

(00:20):
big picture to believe that Trump. Assuming we get the
best of Donald Trump between now an election day, we'll
pull it out in the end. Heidi ganall kind enough
to cost Let's go straight to the phone lines as
promised there in Fuego. Carly in Island's Ranch, Welcome back
to the show.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hi Dan, I'm having a really horrible week because my
phone service centriy Length will not fix my phones, so
I'm not being able to conduct business. So I'm been
in a really bad mood and I try not to
look too much as to what's going on with the
election because I really can't even stand Kamala Harris. But anyway,

(00:59):
I want you to know. So I turned on your
show today, first thing I've listened to all day, and
just a sickening feeling. And when I heard you say
that you really feel that President Trump is going to
win the election. That made me feel so much better.
And I just want you to know it's really important

(01:21):
that you give that message from time to time for
those of us who are listening. So as long as
you believe it, because it just made the.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Difference of my day, Carly, Thank you, that makes my year.
Thank you for that call, Carly. Appreciated. And I can
tell you this, twenty eight, twenty nine, maybe thirty years
on air, I've never said anything I don't believe.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
And I think my.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Batting average, as long as that's what I meant, was
long goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, I mean, Carl, I wouldn't do that to myself, right,
But I got to tell you it doesn't mean I've
been right on everything over twenty eight years. But my
batting average, I think is hired than anybody else's and
it's really really high. And I absolutely believe that in
the end, as long as we get the better version
of President Trump, that he's going to pull this out.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, you know, I look at it like this, What
on earth could he possibly say? There's pretty much out there. Yes,
only you're not perfect, so let's know.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And none of us are and listen.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
If you're going to be a bold leader, then by definition,
you're going to be polarizing, right because you're going to
be fixing a lot of broken things, and the people
who like it broken aren't going to be happy with you.
If you're going to be a bold leader, it's impossible
to color within the lines. And he has accomplished historically
great things because he is bold, and every now and
then it drives you crazy because there's an unforced error.

(02:43):
But if you want somebody who's never going to make
a mistake and at that point just surrender, just give up,
because that person is never going to get it fixed.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
But hey, appreciate it, Carly, thank you. You made my day,
my week, my year. And U Heidi, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I'm just loving this optimism and I truly believe in
America and the people of Colorado to make the right
decisions and turn away from the dark.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Dark time we've had over the last few years.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
I just I don't know how anybody votes for four
more years of that.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
And that's why I'm so optimistic. Because you can spend
trillions on ads, you can have all the mainstream media
telling you whatever they want to people in the end
are going to vote. Enough of them in the swing states.
That's why they're called swing states. Are going to vote
based on the truth, on what they live, on what
they experience. That's going to mean more to them than
what somebody sees on a TV spot, I think, and

(03:37):
I think we've seen that historically.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
And as we go to Eric and Denver, we have
this texture.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Who says Dan, if your listeners need to be reminded
of how much the media lies have them, go listen
to PBS election night coverage for twenty sixteen. Heidi, guys,
as the Lord is my judge. Last night, what do
you think I was doing at home as I went
to sleep? I was watching the election night coverage from
twenty No way I was. It's on YouTube, and one

(04:04):
night I'll watch the CNN coverage and the next night
the MSNBC and it always puts a big smile on
my face.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
That's what I'm doing tonight, because you remember, two weeks
before the sixteen election, right New York Times had Trump's
odds of winning at six percent six percent.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Two weeks before.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
The election, Dan, I remember I was in the car
with my parents and my husband driving down to the
GOP party on the night of the election in sixteen
and I was running for regent statewide and Franklinz came
on the air and he's like, if Hillary get you know,
Hillary has got this in the bag, she's gonna win.
And I knew that if Hillary won, I wouldn't win.
That I was very unlikely I would win Colorado and

(04:42):
win statewide. And here's just started welling up in my eyes.
And my dad, who's the most optimistic person on the planet,
turns to me and he's like.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
You got this.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
He calls me Pumpkin. He's like, you got this, Pumpkin.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
And I remember, out of the corner of my eye,
just a couple hours later, seeing what was the first
state that turned like Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Well, Indiana when the margins came in so big. That's
what I was watching.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh yeah, turned it. But the early indicator was Indiana
when the margins were so big. And I only know this, guys,
because I watched it again last night, like from the beginning,
and then Kentucky came in right after Indiana. Those margins
were so big that I think was the harbinger. But
let's get our friend Eric in You're on the Dan
Kaplo Show with Heidi Gano.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
Hi Dan, he do, I'll pump y'all up. How do
you remember when we were at East Gofax at that
church when you pumped us up on your campaign. That
was Randy g Operate me and all.

Speaker 9 (05:40):
Of us sits cheering you on.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
That's a great memory and that together.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I love that.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Yeah, it was a fun time and I still think
you want.

Speaker 10 (05:52):
This is just me.

Speaker 11 (05:55):
Layers out there.

Speaker 8 (05:57):
We gotta we gotta, we gotta keep them a GPS hold.
Then on Eric Comer, we got to know where that hid.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
No, okay, I'm just there with the hide. But it's okay.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
Here's what I called for.

Speaker 9 (06:12):
I told Kelly.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
I wore my mega hat. I wear it all the time,
my red one and I went to uh Ants Shoots,
the hospital, and then I went to seventy eleven and
you people are looking at that hat like with gleam
in their eyes. It's like they're wishing that they had
what I had on my head. Dan, And they were even,

(06:35):
they were even you know, complimenting me. I was wearing
what they wanted to wear.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
But couldn't you know what I mean, yeah, Eric, thank you.
This is one of the most important calls in a
long time. Thank you, Eric. We need to hit this brake,
but I want to. I want to launch off your point.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
And Heidi, that's so insightful because I'm optimistic on kind
of multiple levels, but one of those is this real
world's stuff. Because like Eric's experience, we were out for
my mother in law's eighty I better get this high
eighties birthday and she looks like she's so soaks and

(07:12):
acts like she's sixty. But we were out for a birthday,
and we were out at a place that you would generally
consider kind of a lean Democrat kind of deal, and
this dad and two daughters came in and just you
look at him, kind of fit the dem mold. And
the guy was very well dressed, had a mega hat on.
What a mega hat on? And then the waiter and

(07:34):
again I'm not talking about you know this being in
the middle of heavy mega territory. The waiter came over
and said, hey, man, really like that hat. And it's
just you got to put some weight in the anecdotal
stuff like Eric tips.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Text on social Security.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Both those things just talk about that.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's what brings me back to the debate. Let's go
to Mark and Colorado Springs. Because people now that they
hear there's a debate, and they're thinking that Kamala Harris
is just going to be exposed and collapse.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Not a chance.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
He's going to be very coddled and protected. My dead
dog could get through that debate.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
The opportunity is for Trump to shine. For Trump to shine.
He's got so many accomplishments, so many good ideas, so
many appealing no text on tips, no text on social Security.
He's got to have his a game and and forget her.
He's got to shine and impress Mark. Welcome to the
Dan Kapla Show with Heidi Ganoll.

Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah, thanks for taking my call, Heidi and Dan, I
just wanted to talk about Tim Waaltzon. Like you know, personally,
I think he was a gift to a publican party
breaking momentum with you know, La Kamala the last couple
of weeks. And so my question is this to you guys,
how long or what is the point that the Democrats

(08:54):
can keep him on the ticket before you know, remove him,
is it? Well, if he's stand on the ticket, if
he can stay on through the convention and then it's
almost too late. I'm just worried about them removing him.
Oh sure, in the next week or two.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Sure, I'm terrified of that.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I'm terrified of them putting Shapiro in there because with
the whole media behind him at this point, it's not
like it's going to be a multi day story, and
vast majority of the media know she really blew it
by not picking Shapiro. So yeah, I share your concern, Mark,
I share your concern. What do you think Heidi in
the end? Is she gonna Is she or the cabal

(09:34):
gonna dump him?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't think so. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but
I think Kamala is dug in. I think there's a
reason she didn't pick Shapiro, and it's something we probably
don't fully understand, and I just don't think she wants.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
To admit that she made a mistake and we got
to hit this hardbreak.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
Mark.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Thank you for the very important point. But it doesn't
have to be Shapiro either, Mark, Kelly out of Arizona.
Lot of danger in this. So when we come back,
and again I'm here as the optimist because I truly am,
but to win. You have to be obviously realistic about
what may be ahead. And there's a scenario coming up

(10:13):
for this convention that really concerns me for the switcher route.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
She hasn't done an interview. She can't do an interview.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
She's barely competent and she can't.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do an interview.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
But I look forward to the debates because I think
we have to set the record straight.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, and I look forward, Well, the debate's singular, mister President,
She's only going to debate you once the old Peter
Boyles line, if you knew where you were going to die,
you wouldn't go there. But it's not because she's going
to have a horrible debate. She'll be protected by the moderators, etc.
It's your chance to shine. And when Trump's on his
game with his accomplishments, he shines. And that's what we're

(10:58):
going to need. It's going to be about him causing
enough people in the middle to say, Okay, yeah, no,
I can go there.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
You know, Dan, What I really like that Trump's been
doing lately is being a man of the people, like
you know, doing interviews with the streamer that he did
the other day, and you know, talking to Elon Musk
on Monday night, just going where they don't normally go
and talking to people who don't normally listen.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
To those avenues that they go to.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, and the key is you darn well better be
going there all the time. Yeah, and you know, listen,
easy for me to say, right, this guy's been through
so much. I can't even imagine what he's been through
even before the assassination attempt. But but it's got to
be perpetual motion. That's a big way he won right
back in sixteen. Perpetual motion. And and so I understand

(11:47):
saving the big bucks until after the dumb convention when
more people are paying attention and you can start to
really turn the mole around. But hey, let's get to
some more callers. Eight five to five FORUR zero five
eight two five five the number you made a fascinating
point during the break about abortion.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
We're not hearing much about it from the Democrats.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
It's bizarre. They usually hang their hat on it, They
talk about it all day long, they beat up on
us about it. I mean, it's just been bizarre.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And obviously they're mentioning it, but you're right, it's not
the twenty four to seven glorification of abortion up until
the moment of delivery, if not later.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
So why why aren't we hearing more of that from them?

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Maybe because they've gotten so radical about it that you
can abort a baby until birth.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
And I believe that's Waltz's position, right.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
I haven't heard Kamala talk about it, but that's Colorado's position.
And maybe when people start hearing that and understanding that
that's the policy they want, they'll be disgusted.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
And I think you go to a particular demo because
right now, Harris is kind of the cool kid among
the younger people, right because you've got a presidential candidate
who isn't old. But there is a significant block of
young people who are pro life because they know it
could have been them. They know the science and other reasons.

(13:08):
But there is a really significant block of pro life
young people. Maybe I don't know, Maybe they've made the
calculation inside the campaign. They got this thing going with
young people, they don't want to highlight their radicalism there.
They want to pursue the abortion thing in channels. Mary
in Denver. You're on the Dan Kapli Show with Heidi Ganah.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
Welcome jumping a little bit lighter. I laughed when I think.
I laugh when I think about Kamala in one of
her one thousand fansuits, going to deal with Saudi Arabia
or any of those other countries who think so much
of women. They didn't even shake Biden's hand. What do

(13:49):
you think they'd do with Kamala.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh, I think they're praying. I think that you've got
evil all over the world praying for a Kamala Harris victory.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Kamala harrispan yeah.

Speaker 9 (14:01):
Oh.

Speaker 12 (14:01):
Margaret's answer, she ain't.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Man, Mary appreciate the call. Thank you for lightning things up?
Did that lighten things up? But no, I mean right,
I mean evil right now. And you really have to
worry about another two scenarios, right, Heidi, because this enormous
mistake in not selecting Shapiro or Kelly, and particularly Shapiro,

(14:23):
because if you lock up Pennsylvania, I don't know how
we get there, but it's possible, but a lot tougher.
So my concern is we're going to see this scenario
that obviously Walls is a fraud and I think, as
I predicted initially, he's a good talker. But people in
the Midwest. I grew up in Chicago. People in the Midwest,
we know you got some good talkers who are the

(14:45):
real deal. And hey, you know, more power to them.
You got plenty of good talkers who are snake oil
salesman and Carnival barkers. And I think very quickly he's
going to be scoped out as a fraud and a
Carnival barker. So easy for the Dems. You get to
your convention in a couple of weeks, you know, Walls
finds out he has some serious ailment, and then they

(15:08):
get to get excitement and attention focused on who his
replacement's going to be. And then they fix the mistake
and they bring in Shapiro, and if you can't do
Shapiro for some reason, you bring in Kelly and I
don't want.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
To see that happen. I want to see them stuck
with Walls.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Yeah, and that keeps the highlight off of Kamala and
her incompetence and her ability to say really silly things.
It keeps those focus on the vice presidency, and if
it's a moderate that's really not.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Good for us.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, so the biggest break we've had so far, right
is the selection of walls. And let's hope they don't
get a chance to fix that. Dan, I'm watching TV
behind the bar where stop for dinner? Rest in peace,
the share artiste. I pronounce that correctly. I've never been
known for culture movie theaters close set face. I love
that little gem that from Patty. Seems like a lot
of stuff in Denver's closing Yeah, d bars closing always,

(16:03):
Holy cow, where are the coruger is going to go?

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Oh gosh, aren't you like Bryan?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's the prime target of cougars in the whole metro area.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
Where are you saying I should be cougar hunting at always? No, No,
it's right down close to me here. I still got
to get you your tomahawk there.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, we'll share a tom on. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
But all I'm saying is look at Denver, right, and
they just lost a big employer with like a thousand
jobs They're going to lose over a period of time,
and a lot of stuff closing in Denver, Dan. Unfortunately,
den voters are thinking of Kamala as the new candidate,
not another four years of the same, My friend, thank
you for that brilliant text. I'm not counting on DEM voters.
I'm counting on them people in the middle. I'm counting

(16:48):
on the unaffiliateds who have lived it and and it's
going to be their life experience that determines their vote.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's not going to be all of this phoniness.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Well, and we only need about fifty thousand swing voters
to go our way in these key cities and.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
We're in right and then just think about it back then, Okay,
so Biden wins by this little, little narrow margin. After
Trump was up against COVID and a lot of things
going bad for him, he almost pulls that out against Biden,
who's this fake moderate.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
And now they've got and people know this, you.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Got a San Francisco radical. It's one of the many
reasons why in the end, and remember, it's not about
the people who tell posters things. It's about who shows
up in six states. If Biden, who pulled off this
fake moderate thing, just barely one, how does the San
Francisco radical win after the four years we've just.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Had with the help of a very corrupt media.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, but do you.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Really think the swing voters are influenced by MSNBC or
CNN or any of that.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think those are swing states for a reason.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I wish they weren't. But I've just been I've gotten algated.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, Heidi, can all kind enough to be with us?
Eight five five or is there a five? A two
five five? When we get back? More from Trump's fiery presser.

Speaker 7 (18:06):
Today, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast, say
all the.

Speaker 10 (18:15):
Signat Oh give me a break, listen. I had one
hundred and seven thousand people in New Jersey. You didn't
report it. I'm so glad you as what does she
have yesterday? Two thousand people? If I ever had two
thousand people, you'd say my campaign is finished. It's so
dishonest the press. And here's a great example. I had

(18:40):
in Michigan recently, twenty five thousand people and twenty five
thousand people were we just couldn't get them in. We
had in Harrisburg twenty twenty five thousand people and twenty
thousand people couldn't get in.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
We had so many.

Speaker 10 (18:54):
Nobody ever mentioned that when she gets fifteen hundred people,
and I saw it yesterday on ABC, they said, oh
the crowd was so big. I have ten times, twenty times,
thirty times the crowd size, and no, they never say
the crowd was That's why I'm always saying, turn around
the cameras.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
I'm so glad you asked that.

Speaker 10 (19:12):
I think it's so terrible when you say, well, she
has fifteen hundred people, a thousand people, and they talk about, oh.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
The enthusiasm.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
Let me tell you, we have the enthusiasm the Republican
Party and me as a candidate, but the Republican Party
has the enthusiasm.

Speaker 8 (19:29):
See.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I love hearing him like that. Heidiganal kind enough to
co host today. That's the kind of Trump we need
now through election day. And you know, he's he's sharp,
he's on point, he's fired up, but I also believe
he's right on the underlying point. I mean, yeah, it
stands out right now and the media is going to
focus on it. And you've got this enthusiasm for Harris

(19:51):
in this one particular demo, but more broad based. To me,
it feels like sixteen all over again. You know where
it looks like Hillary Clinton going to sweep, but come
election day in those six states, the people who are
actually going to vote, I think Trump wins.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
Well, they neglect to talk about how these two big
rallies she's had were actually rock concerts that she showed
up to and kind of hy chat.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
So that's interesting.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
I mean, they're really good at creating the mirage that
she has support, so I got to give it to them.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
But it's not authentic.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, let me quib a little bit, okay, because I
think there is authentic excitement for her right now among
certain groups, and you know, certainly some young people, but
far from all. It goes to your point about why
all of a sudden the Dems are cooling the abortion
talk a little bit. They're still talking it, but not
as much. So I do think some of that's genuine, Heidi.

(20:47):
And I think part of it is that, listen, I
admire all the great things Trump has done, so I
really want them to win. But put yourself in the
shoes of and you're very close to that age group,
you know, the these twenty somethings or whatever, they're probably
so sick of older candidates. Unless one of the older
candidates was like Moses, you.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Know, or the Good Lord himself.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
They're just sick of older candidates. Okay, All of a sudden.
Now there's somebody fresh, somebody who can dance. Though Trump
don't dances pretty well, you know what I mean. I
think there is some genuine enthusiasm. I don't think it's
large enough to win the election in those swing states.
And I think tidy the intensity of commitment to Donald

(21:28):
Trump among not everybody in the GOP, but among a
lot of people in the GOP.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Even before the assassination attempt. Those people are shown up.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
They are and I'm seeing it in Colorado.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
And to your caller's point earlier talking about wearing a
MAGA hat out, I got off the plane from the
RNC convention, and of course we're all hyped up and
we're wearing all of our RNC gear and I've got
a Trump hat on, and i walk into the Denver
airport and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm going to
be on the front cover of the Denver Posts, you know,
and sliced and diced by Kyle Clark for wearing.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
This hat in Denver. But it was fine.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
People were very fine and nobody said anything. And had
my dad with me and we were both ducked out.
So I'm actually going to take the next step.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
And I'm going to put a Trump sticker on my
car and we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
And God love you for that too.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
And remember the reason the swing States are the swing
states is people are still voting their self interest there, right,
And come on, just to break down what's in people's
self interest, right, I clearly it's Trump, whether you love
him or hate him or somewhere in between. You talking
about your own self interest? Come on, that's not even close.

(22:40):
Texters says there are a lot of shallow lemmings out
there who will always fall for a young, physically attractive
person over brains, much less brains and age. Keyword in
that text, tidy, I think is shallow. Not that I'm
not saying those people are shallow support, Harris. What I'm saying, though,
is the level of support maybe shallow, the intensity maybe shallow,

(23:01):
and the intensity level among Trump supporters off the charts.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
I agree, And we've just got to keep the momentum.
We've got to get people laser focused on turnout and
making sure that everybody votes, because even if everyone who's
super enthusiastic votes, we still need another five to ten percent.
And that's the hard work. That's the work in the
Swing states. That's the work that the Democrats are so

(23:27):
good at.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, and let me ask you on Rocky Mountain Voice,
which is a website I hope folks check every day.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is there a link to that?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think you said an app that will allow people
to help contact voters in swing states.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
No, we have a newsletter that goes out a few
times a week, and we often talk about it in there.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
But it's Turning Points app. It's TP action, it's free.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
You download it on your phone. There's a little left
arrow up in the left corner. After you download it,
you press on that. That's where all the magic happens.
Where you register, and then all of a sudden you
have access to all the voter data to be able
to knockdoors, make phone calls, text message, or buy some
postcards and some stamps and write some handwritten notes to
people in Philadelphia, people in Detroit, people in Atlanta, or

(24:09):
here in Colorado to help in the two key congressional
races we're facing CD three, which is the Western Slope
and Pueblo, and CD eight, which is Thornton in Adams
County up North Denver, which Yeddaro is the representative right now.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
And she is a hot mess.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
She is terrible and talk about abortion extremes. She doesn't
get it. Doesn't get any worse.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah, hopefully Gab can win up there. Dan.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Trump's press conference was Fieryes as a Texter to Dan
five seven seven three nine, more like deranged. More than
half of what he espouse for lies. It's awful he
doesn't get called out. Well, they don't even give Trump
any credit for showing up right. I saw a little
something on Fox here. Trump is done like what's seventeen
either press conferences or major interviews since Harris was installed?

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Wow, and she's done none?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, none, But again it's pretty clear at this point
he can get away with that. But what about when
the poles start to tighten, and they will at some point,
they're going to start to tighten. Do you think she'll
be able to get away with it then or do
you think that the media is going to start to
panic and say, you got to do something to regain

(25:18):
the momentum.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
I don't think the media trusts her to do something
about it or to put her more out there. They'll
think of something different to make a well, a jolt
in the race.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Here's what they're going to think of, and that's the cabal,
you know, taking Biden down to the animal shelter.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, oh gosh, I mean, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
You're talking to the camp Bowow girl, Dan oh no.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I do have to tell you just everybody listening
can relate to the same thing, right, just one of
the saddest days of your life when you have to
take your dog in and over in the rainbow bridge
and I'm just d'retting it coming down the road. We
got one dog now who must be one hundred and
five and the other one is getting to that and

(26:05):
I just how I dread that. But let's face it,
that's what they did to Biden with the nomination. And
if they have to, if she starts to lose momentum
and they have to make her president before election day,
they will force him.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
Out well, and that would be a good excuse to
keep her off the campaign.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Child too, she's seriously running the country.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
In the few seconds we have before this break, then
we'll get back to our great Texters and I'll tease
this for the other side. Heidi's and very deeply disturbing,
deeply disturbing theory about Taylor Swift. We'll touch on that
on the other side as well. But wait a second,
would it actually be better for Trump if Harris becomes

(26:44):
president before election day? Because then she's gotta be out there,
She's got to do more. She can't be entirely in
the basement. So what do you think about that? You're
on the dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.

Speaker 11 (27:03):
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? How dare we
speak merry Christmas?

Speaker 3 (27:16):
How dare we.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I'm sorry, those last four seconds people out there giving
up thinking, oh no, this race is over everything else.
Two months of playing those last four seconds in Michigan
and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
You think people are going to.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Vote for that somebody who's going to yell at them
for saying Merry Christmas?

Speaker 3 (27:34):
This thing is light years from over.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
How do you goan know co hosting today with a
look on her face that suggests she's regretting that decision.
But now, Gateful, you have terrified me with your theory
about where things are going with Ta Ta Ta Ta.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
I have two very big Swifties in my house, my
twelve year old daughter, my fifteen year old daughter. And
they don't think Kama is so bad because Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Is a Democrat loves the Democrats. Now, I don't put
up with that, and I'm.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Tolerant and I won't pay for them to go to
a Taylor Swift concert. But I'm a little bit worried
Taylor gives an endorsement and causes a whole new wave
of excitement and talk, and.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
They'll play that up so much.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
But we do have Elon and Trump is going to
do an interview with Elon on Monday night on Twitter
and hopefully break the Internet.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
And I'm glad he is that.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
But listen, if and I've been saying this for a
year on the show, if Taylor Swift endorsement, yeah, or her,
but who cares? If she decides to get active and
go into Swing states and do these concerts and public
squares and everything else, that is extraordinarily dangerous and might
just flat be fatal. Here's here's my reason for believing

(28:53):
she won't okay, having been to at this point sixteen.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Taylor Swift shows with my daughter.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's been of father daughter things since both Yeah, I'll
show you a picture, darn well, tomorrow, I'll show you
a picture. And they posted you'll see a picture of
our daughter when she was a little bitty, when Taylor
Swift was very very young at a Taylor Swift show.
That looks like it's in a high school gym. And
so it's been our father daughter thing and we drove
to om Off for and all this and that. But

(29:20):
having been to those shows, Heidi, here's the point. They
are love fests. She doesn't talk politics at the show,
and there is a love bubble in those stadiums. And
I guess I just said goodbye to all my listeners forever.
But there is a love bubble in those stadiums. I
can't see her throwing that away. She, you know, just

(29:42):
for herself, because there's such an amazing vibe in those concerts,
and truly it crosses all lines. And so she knows
if she got that active against Trump, with hef with
America this divided, she's not going to have that bubble again.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Did you see though in the document her conversation with
her dad about getting involved in politics.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
She was adamant. Does she had to do?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
What has she done it?

Speaker 5 (30:07):
No, that's a good point, you know. And then how
much does Travis weigh in on this?

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Well, I've got to believe they are going to be
baby soon. Oh right, Dan.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Come on, she you just ruined my appetite.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Don't you listen.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Don't you think she looks at Travis Kelsey is great
breeding stock?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Don't ryot? Don't you.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
If you were Ryan, if you were a woman and
you were going to go have a baby. I mean,
but I think they're gonna have baby soon. But I
don't think she's gonna be willing to burn off half
of America.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Not the money thing, how much more money can.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
She spend, but but just the love and the adoration
and the atmosphere in her concerts.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I hope you're right.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Very very confident of that. But in the end, if
she does go there we have to shake it off.
That is danger.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
But my goodness, I remain so optimistic. And I asked people,
as the left now tries to get you to give
up and discourage you to the point of despair and
tuning out, please remember this which you already know. Well,
it's it's about these six states. It's about eighteen counties
right in six nineteen. Okay, getting picky within six states.

(31:24):
And these are six states that barely gave it to
Biden even after he pulled off this fake moderate thing.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
And these are six states.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Can you really see them electing a San Francisco radical?
I mean, before you even start to get.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Into the issues. I just don't see that happening. Now.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Trump has to be the you know, the A or
B Trump between now and then. But assuming that I
don't see that happening, well, then.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Let's make sure it happens that way. And everybody download
the app tp action. You can pick any city, any
of those counties you want to work in, and start
to get those voters excited about the election and make
sure they're going to vote. These are low propensity Republican voters,
so they're not likely to.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Turn out well. And again, the intensity of turnout, it's
feeling like sixteen to me. That's why last night I
literally watched the sixteen election returns and I love watching
MSNBC and watching them all of a sudden, want.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
To jump off a bridge. Great text.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
If Biden is removed and Harris is made president, Does
Waltz automatically become VP. No, Harris would have to choose
a VP confirmed by Congress. But again, we're talking about
this scenario because our job, right, all of us, is
to look around corners and very very significant chance that
Biden does not make it to election day, and if
Harris is on the ropes and she's starting to lose

(32:51):
steam fast, they will run him out, just as they
deposed him from the nomination. They will run him out
and she'll be president before election day to try to
revive the campaign.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
And who has to approve that candidate? The vice presidential candidate?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
If I remember, I know, I want to look at
it tonight, it's Congress, but I can't remember whether it's
both houses and by what percentages, et cetera. But yeah,
it does have to be ratified if I remember correctly,
because remember way before your time and I was a
little kid, but Nixon dumped No, who does he dumped
Dagnu and Ford came in right, Yeah, And then if

(33:28):
I remember, Congress had to ratify that. So a lot
is we end the show a lot of different possibilities
with Walls now being a liability to them.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
You know, does walls get dumped.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Does he suddenly come down with some problem and and well,
he already is the problem.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
But does he come up with some excuse?

Speaker 4 (33:46):
The latest one must be.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Pop up bird flew or something. Does he come up
with some excuse?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
And then they get to regenerate excitement at their convention
focusing on who the VP will be. And then she
fixes this enormous mistake by bringing in Piro or Kelly.
So we've got to be ready for that possibility, right,
and we've got to be ready for her to be
president before election day.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
But even with all of that, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
So I think so many reasons to believe Trump's gonna win.
But you're gonna be here again tomorrow, right, Yes, I
am there. It's a Friday. We're gonna have a lot
of fun. We're going to talk about a million different things,
including the latest on this front.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Obviously, I do hope you join us then, Brian, you're
the best. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Kelly, relentless Newman, sunshine and positive energy, please join us
tomorrow on The Dan Caplis Show.
