Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. The Democrat National
Speaker 1: Convention aka bar scene from Star Wars.
Speaker 2: Glad you are here.
Speaker 1: So who's benefiting more from this gathering in Chicago? Is
Speaker 1: it the Democrats? Or as I believe, is it President
Speaker 1: Trump and other GOP candidates? Eight five to five for
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five to five The number text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: I had an epiphany in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this happens to you, but it
Speaker 1: tends to happen to me the shower. A lot of
Speaker 1: epiphanies in the shower, and a lot of epiphanies just
Speaker 1: kind of middle.
Speaker 2: Of the night.
Speaker 1: You know, you wake up and it's quiet, and it's calm,
Speaker 1: and you get to think a little bit. And if
Speaker 1: I really have to go back to sleep in a hurry,
Speaker 1: then I'll just think of golf, right, just think of
Speaker 1: great golf shots. But otherwise I think of some of
Speaker 1: these deep questions of the day. And Ryan, this occurred
Speaker 1: to me in the middle of the night, Like so
Speaker 1: many of my epiphanies, that at first people say, ah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, and then about a week later, maybe it's true, and.
Speaker 2: Then two weeks slayter, ma'am, that's brilliant.
Speaker 1: This one is going to fall in that category because
Speaker 1: I guarantee your initial reaction to it, no matter where
Speaker 1: you are right now, no matter where you're driving, is.
Speaker 2: Going to be skeptical. But then as you let it sink.
Speaker 1: And you're going to say, Wow, that is exactly what's
Speaker 1: going on here. So here it is, Ryan, my epiphany
Speaker 1: last night, reflecting back on Night one of the DNC,
Speaker 1: and there is so much to talk about. There's so
Speaker 1: much fun stuff there, so much stuff that you just
Speaker 1: know is hurting Harris, hurting the Democrats in the Swing States.
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that in a second. Here's the
Speaker 1: epiphany that the Democrats, and I'm talking about the Democrats
Speaker 1: who own and operate the Democratic Party. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the Democrat elite. I'm talking about you know, the Whitmers,
Speaker 1: the Shapiros, the Newsomes, the others. I won't put police
Speaker 1: in that categories.
Speaker 2: To want to be.
Speaker 1: But the Democrat elite is much more afraid of Harris
Speaker 1: winning than of Harris losing. Think about that for a second.
Speaker 1: They are much more afraid of Harris winning. Think about
Speaker 1: and they hate Trump right with the heat of a
Speaker 1: thousand sons. They hate Trump, but for their own selfish
Speaker 1: long term interest, they are much more concerned, much more
Speaker 1: afraid of Harris winning.
Speaker 2: Because think of if you're one of the.
Speaker 1: Owners and operators of the Democratic Party, if you're one
Speaker 1: of these uber ambitious Shapiros, Whitmers, Newsoms, etc. Your worst
Speaker 1: case scenario is Harris winning. Because if Harris wins, think
Speaker 1: about what happens to the Democratic Party. You go from
Speaker 1: the embarrassment and the horror of the Biden years and
Speaker 1: the damage that's doing to the brand into the Harris years,
Speaker 1: which promised to be far worse.
Speaker 2: And at that point, at.
Speaker 1: That point, you risk losing enormous blocks of support over time,
Speaker 1: because as bad as Biden has been, part of it
Speaker 1: is it's just Biden, right, He's never been anything other
Speaker 1: than mediocre at best. But as bad as Biden has been,
Speaker 1: even as he's been in this deep cognitive decline, Harris
Speaker 1: is going to be so much worse she already has been.
Speaker 1: She's just living in this bizarre, surreal, protective bubble right now,
Speaker 1: which they intend to continue through election day. But she's
Speaker 1: so incapable, she's less intellectually capable than Biden, that's clear.
Speaker 1: I mean, they have to shelter her from everything. Did
Speaker 1: you see, Ryan, where they had to move patrons out
Speaker 1: of a restaurant she was going to be because they
Speaker 1: could not trust her to be in a restaurant with patrons,
Speaker 1: with real people, with real Americans. And then, according to
Speaker 1: the stories I saw, and unless it's been refuted somewhere else,
Speaker 1: it sure looks like they brought in their own people
Speaker 1: to be in the restaurant with her. But come on,
Speaker 1: she hasn't given a real interview, hasn't at a press conference,
Speaker 1: you know, since she was installed. It's so clear they
Speaker 1: don't trust her, and it's so clear they're wise not
Speaker 1: to trust her. Imagine Ryan, if she wins and then
Speaker 1: they've got to take her out of the basement, then
Speaker 1: she has to function in that job, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be a blank show, and it's really going to
Speaker 1: hurt the brand.
Speaker 2: It's really going to hurt the country.
Speaker 1: It's going to wipe them out in the midterms, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you've got Shapiro, Whitmer, Knew
Speaker 1: some everybody in the Democratic Party who's ambitious having to
Speaker 1: sit behind her for four years, and she'd certainly get
Speaker 1: wiped out if she wins, She'd certain which I don't
Speaker 1: believe she will, she'd certainly get wiped out in twenty
Speaker 1: eight because you've got this stockpile of great young GOP
Speaker 1: talent just chomping at the bit for the post Trump era.
Speaker 3: This is a very interesting analysis, Dan, but I think
Speaker 3: it's solid for two additional points that I've seen through
Speaker 3: reporting in little granules of clues that you could gather
Speaker 3: from last night. The first of the clues was reporting
Speaker 3: that I have seen from behind the scenes that the
Speaker 3: Democrats elected Democrats in Congress be at the center of
Speaker 3: the House. They know off the record that four years
Speaker 3: of a Trump presidency are not going to be the
Speaker 3: end of the world.
Speaker 4: So that's point one. Point two.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was even asked last night about, you know,
Speaker 3: why he decided to vacate the ticket, and it was
Speaker 3: again coming back to not hurting the down ballot races.
Speaker 3: That's also something that Nancy Pelosi has said. So it
Speaker 3: makes sense along your lines of logic that the Democratic
Speaker 3: Party would want to punt. They would never say this publicly,
Speaker 3: but they would know that. Okay, Donald Trump for four years,
Speaker 3: he can't run for reelection.
Speaker 4: We're going to clear the deck.
Speaker 3: We're going to have a brand new start at this
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty eight, Republicans have a new candidate, will
Speaker 3: have a new candidate, and we'll try again. Then they
Speaker 3: just want to mitigate, in my view, aligning with your view,
Speaker 3: they want to mitigate losses in the Senate and House
Speaker 3: this time around, to reload for twenty eight.
Speaker 4: That's where I'm at.
Speaker 1: No, I think that's exactly right. And then ask yourself
Speaker 1: this question. For those driving home right now, already home, whatever,
Speaker 1: who are skeptical, ask yourself this question. Who in power
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party actually wants Harris to win. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the obvious Biden. Of course he doesn't. He
Speaker 1: wants the people who humiliated him and deposed him to fail, Right,
Speaker 1: that's a given, and then go right through the list.
Speaker 1: Everybody else in line for the presidency. They want her
Speaker 1: to lose, right, everybody who cares about the midterms. They
Speaker 1: want her to lose because they know it's likely to
Speaker 1: be a blood bath for the Democrats in the midterms
Speaker 1: in two years if she wins. Because they know her Ryan,
Speaker 1: they know how awful she is, and that's the only
Speaker 1: reason right now they have to bury her. They have
Speaker 1: to wrap her up in bubble wrap. And you can't
Speaker 1: even let her give a press conference. So one, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the strange dynamic that we're in right now is
Speaker 1: the Democrats are more afraid of her winning, yes than
Speaker 1: lose more.
Speaker 3: Tea leaves to read too, Dan, there's a Ronoke College
Speaker 3: pull out just today, Kamala Harris. With all this fanfare,
Speaker 3: there's pomp and circumstance, the bubble wrap that you talk about,
Speaker 3: the protection of her, the glorification, the joy propaganda out there.
Speaker 3: She's up three in either pole, whether it's just head
Speaker 3: to head or the third party candidates are included. She's
Speaker 3: up three points on Donald Trump in the state of Virginia.
Speaker 3: In Virginia another point along those lines. Three senators they
Speaker 3: are embroiled in very tough races. John Tester in Montana,
Speaker 3: Shared Brown in Ohio, Jackie Rosen and Nevada Guess what, Dan,
Speaker 3: None of those three are at the DNC this week,
Speaker 3: none of them.
Speaker 1: What about Caraveo from CD eight and another one, she's
Speaker 1: not there.
Speaker 3: If Kamala Harris had coattails, believe me, Caravel, the three
Speaker 3: senators I just mentioned, they would be sprinting to Chicago
Speaker 3: to try to gain any kind of you know, coattail
Speaker 3: advantage that Kamala Harris brings.
Speaker 4: But they're avoiding her.
Speaker 1: Why well, all the reasons we've talked about, right, and
Speaker 1: then beyond that, they know once this starts to go
Speaker 1: bad for them, once they're out of this sugar high,
Speaker 1: this artificial period, once it starts to go bad for them,
Speaker 1: it's going to go really bad for them. So we
Speaker 1: have a lot of great sound from last night and
Speaker 1: beyond to play for you when we get back, including
Speaker 1: and I want to throw this out there for you
Speaker 1: to chew on, and anybody wants to take on my
Speaker 1: premise that the Dems are now more afraid of Harris
Speaker 1: winning than losing the dem elite are, you know?
Speaker 2: When we come back as well, I want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Whether whether Harris is going to underperform Biden with older voters,
Speaker 1: whether there are a bunch of older voters now very
Speaker 1: very upset about the way they just took Joe Biden
Speaker 1: to the vat and put him down, including the humiliation
Speaker 1: of where they placed him last night eight five five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two five five textas at d
Speaker 1: an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5: I see a leader who understands. I see a leader
Speaker 5: with a real commitment to a better future for working
Speaker 5: families and Chicago. We have to help her win because
Speaker 5: we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for
Speaker 5: a dollar if it manligning his own pockets and greeting
Speaker 5: the palms of his Wall Street friends.
Speaker 2: And I the one I'm tired.
Speaker 5: Of hearing about how a two bit union buster thinks
Speaker 5: of himself as more of a patriot than the woman
Speaker 5: who fights every single day written working people.
Speaker 2: Out one of the books of bad Dreaming on Our.
Speaker 1: Way Alive, the whole MOREOC, Please MOREO, where do we
Speaker 1: send a check to get hurt every night? We want
Speaker 1: her every night front and center at the DNCS. It's
Speaker 1: remarkable how the Dems think all of this is going
Speaker 1: to help them right in the swing states. Please more, AOC,
Speaker 1: and I know you're in your car right now, you're
Speaker 1: thinking of one hundred different counter arguments to her, and
Speaker 1: you're right about all of that. But the beautiful thing
Speaker 1: is you know that hard working man and woman right now.
Speaker 1: Pick your state Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina.
Speaker 2: They're thinking the same things you.
Speaker 1: Are about how full of it she is, and talk
Speaker 1: about true patriotism, sacrificing for this country.
Speaker 2: Line in your pockets.
Speaker 1: Obviously, that's what Joe Biden, Joe Biden's family has been
Speaker 1: doing with his help. No, trust me, these voters in
Speaker 1: the swing states, they're making all those same arguments in
Speaker 1: their own heads. So yeah, more AOC. That is a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Hey, text me Dan, daan five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. You can call eight five five four zero
Speaker 1: five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 2: Let's see Ryan. I see a text Dan.
Speaker 1: Apparently the Obamas are at day two of the DNC
Speaker 1: and at least one of them will be speaking. Yesterday
Speaker 1: you said they were not going to be at it.
Speaker 1: I'm confused. Thank you Texter for texting. What he Doi
Speaker 1: was talking about yesterday was the reporting that Obamas are
Speaker 1: not going to be at Kamala Harris's speech on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and if that's true, that's really significant. No, of course,
Speaker 1: the Obamas are speaking tonight, and they've always been scheduled too,
Speaker 1: and that will help the Dems, right, because the reality is,
Speaker 1: you know, Arack Obama is well regarded, including among some
Speaker 1: swing voters in some swing states, and.
Speaker 2: So that will help the Dems.
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama same thing, very well regarded. In the end,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be enough to overcome Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: as the presidential candidate.
Speaker 2: That's why Obama's opposed her.
Speaker 1: Remember when Obama's were leading the effort to depose Biden,
Speaker 1: the democratically elected nominee, they did not want Harris. They
Speaker 1: came out right after Biden buckled and they said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to have an open process here. And then
Speaker 1: Biden outmaneuvered the Obamas and he shoved Harris down their throats.
Speaker 1: So they're stuck with her now. They're stuck with her now.
Speaker 1: So as much as some swing state voters may like
Speaker 1: Barack and Michelle Obama, they're not going to like Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris at all. And that's what the Obamas know, and
Speaker 1: that's why they were opposing her. Eight, five to five
Speaker 1: was he a five A two five five five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine, Ryan, what did you make of Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama's appearance last night? She appeared night one?
Speaker 3: Well, you mean that she was there. I found her
Speaker 3: attired to be interesting and trying to be kind. But
Speaker 3: it was a very unique look. And I'm sure she'll be,
Speaker 3: you know, at her level best tonight. But I'm not
Speaker 3: sure what that was all about last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it was. It was fascinating, fascinating.
Speaker 1: I think that the Obamas will do what they need
Speaker 1: to do tonight and they'll both be good and it
Speaker 1: will be a plus, but it will not last.
Speaker 2: It will not last.
Speaker 1: And if the reports are true they're not going to
Speaker 1: be there Thursday, that will be a positive.
Speaker 2: That'll be a positive. Why obviously by well, because obviously.
Speaker 1: They're not all in, right. If they were all in,
Speaker 1: they'd be there Thursday, and maybe they will be. They'd
Speaker 1: be up on the stage with her and listen. If
Speaker 1: they are there Thursday, that doesn't mean they're all in
Speaker 1: the long term, because Thursday's sort of obligatory, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: you were the driving force behind deposing the democratically elected
Speaker 1: nominee for your party, and you would think that you
Speaker 1: have an obligation to be front and center on Thursday
Speaker 1: night on the stage with her at the end of
Speaker 1: the speech, present in the audience during the speech, so
Speaker 1: the cameras can cut to you looking adoringly at her.
Speaker 1: And if you're not there on Thursday night, after you know,
Speaker 1: clawing the torch out of Biden's hand and setting them
Speaker 1: on fire with it, then there is a loud and
Speaker 1: clear message. If they do show up, they were expected to.
Speaker 1: You see it differently, I don't.
Speaker 3: And this is the thing, you know, I was talking
Speaker 3: about earlier on my program, which procedures the dan Caplis
Speaker 3: pregame show as I call it. But done the thought
Speaker 3: that they they almost want to create some kind of
Speaker 3: separation distance between Barack Obama.
Speaker 4: His speech tonight on a Tuesday night and.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris as to not have him overshadow her, because
Speaker 3: I think what's going to happen tonight, dan is Barack
Speaker 3: Obama is going to be his usual as you call him,
Speaker 3: five tool players, self soaring rhetoric. Oh, that's what I
Speaker 3: liked about Barack Obama. And by comparison, people are gonna
Speaker 3: know they got the cheap knockoff version of him in
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, kind of the dollar store version, and she's
Speaker 3: just not gonna compare.
Speaker 2: Now that's a great point.
Speaker 1: And again this goes back to the biggest political mistake
Speaker 1: of our lifetime, her selecting walls because there's no danger
Speaker 1: that anybody will want walls.
Speaker 2: Instead of her. He's that bad.
Speaker 1: So now you get walls on Wednesday night. You're right,
Speaker 1: you're separating the Bidens. You're separating the Obamas by a
Speaker 1: couple of nights. You threw Biden under the bus again
Speaker 1: by putting them late on a Monday night. And I'll
Speaker 1: get to some Jake Tappers sound on that. But now, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then what are you gonna have Wednesday night? Oh
Speaker 1: my lord, Wednesday night, you're gonna have walls, and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Have Bill Clinton. So Hillary Clinton, you know.
Speaker 1: Who is still liked and respected among some people in
Speaker 1: swing states. You know, Hillary Clinton, you shove off on
Speaker 1: Monday night, and then you're gonna haul out perverted old Bill,
Speaker 1: you know, drag him off Epstein Island for Wednesday night.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that is not Waltz and Bill Clinton not
Speaker 1: a tough act for Kamala Harris to follow on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bill Clinton, unlike Barack Obama, Dan, he's a far
Speaker 3: crime from what he was during his heyday in the nineties.
Speaker 3: And oh my lord, a lot of that is age
Speaker 3: related and I'll get older. But to your point, I
Speaker 3: just don't think I'm exposed. Yes, and he well, pardon
Speaker 3: the pun, but he doesn't resonate the same way that
Speaker 3: he did when you and I were watching him in
Speaker 3: the nineties and you know, you were in awe of
Speaker 3: his political skills. He really is not the same as
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of folks can't remember that. And
Speaker 1: I get why life is fast and some people may
Speaker 1: be too young. But Bill Clinton, in his prime, you know,
Speaker 1: he was a.
Speaker 2: Five tool player.
Speaker 1: Again, he was kind of hollow Morley and had a
Speaker 1: lot of bad ideas, but he was uber talented. It's
Speaker 1: hard to even picture that now compared to what he
Speaker 1: has become today. What I will never get out of
Speaker 1: my mind, Ryan, is when he was in his prime
Speaker 1: and the motor Kaide was coming down Bellevue and we
Speaker 1: were newlyweds, and we were out on the street, Amy
Speaker 1: and me.
Speaker 2: It was a summer day. She's in short shorts.
Speaker 1: We've got the dog and the motor kids coming down
Speaker 1: Bellevue and Bill Clinton gets a look at Amy and
Speaker 1: he literally turns around in his seat and the presidential
Speaker 1: limo staring at her, and I just thought, A, it's
Speaker 1: a compliment, but b there's there's something really wrong here,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean?
Speaker 4: Sounds like a Phil hartnupscotch from Saturday Live.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was, it was so real. It was
Speaker 1: just it's a memory, that's all I can say. Hey,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I do want to get to
Speaker 1: that hot sound from last night, and including even some
Speaker 1: of these lefty commentators acknowledging the humiliation of Biden last night.
Speaker 1: I mean when did he come on? He came after
Speaker 1: Friends reruns at two am, right, I mean they started
Speaker 1: him really late Eastern. Yeah, And we'll have some of
Speaker 1: that sound from last night, and then i'd love you
Speaker 1: thinking about my premise for today, which you will hear
Speaker 1: nowhere else, even though.
Speaker 2: I think it's undeniable.
Speaker 1: The Democrat elite are much more afraid of Harris winning
Speaker 1: than of Harris losing. Eight five for zero five A
Speaker 1: two five five text D an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Capitliss show.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 6: There are going to be a lot of people who
Speaker 6: think Joe Biden kind of got the fuzzy end of
Speaker 6: the lollipop tonight, just because the event went so late
Speaker 6: that his speech did not even start until out eleven
Speaker 6: thirty PM's time. And that is also a microcosm.
Speaker 7: If they were trying to prevent that impression, they failed tonight.
Speaker 7: I mean, they should have to be honest, given him
Speaker 7: time earlier in the night. They should have kept the
Speaker 7: schedule a little bit tighter, but they didn't.
Speaker 2: There's one I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: The only thing I was going to say was I
Speaker 7: do feel like Biden, obviously understanding the context of all
Speaker 7: of this, he gave a really forceful speech, I mean
Speaker 7: maybe too forced to at certain points, speaking to this
Speaker 7: room at the top of his voice for almost fifty minutes,
Speaker 7: maybe to prove something that he still has very very
Speaker 7: late at night.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, and listen, they put him late, they buried him.
Speaker 2: It was another humiliation.
Speaker 1: And you think that he and Jill and Hunter didn't
Speaker 1: notice that, of course they did.
Speaker 2: So one thing I.
Speaker 1: Want to hear from you is is what are the
Speaker 1: different ways that Joe and Jill Biden now are going
Speaker 1: to try to make sure that Kamala Harris loses, because
Speaker 1: you know they are going to do that. What he
Speaker 1: did last night, he didn't do for her, He did
Speaker 1: for himself, because if he didn't do it, then at
Speaker 1: that point he'd get blamed for the loss, he'd come
Speaker 1: under fire. But what do you think Biden's going to
Speaker 1: be doing now in terms of leaks? What do you
Speaker 1: think he and Joe Biden are going to be doing
Speaker 1: to try to undermine Harris, Because you can be sure
Speaker 1: it's a lot. Even if they had treated him with
Speaker 1: some dignity in this convention, which would have required probably
Speaker 1: a Wednesday night speaking slot at the very worst, but
Speaker 1: instead they go out of their way to humiliate him
Speaker 1: this way. Yeah, He's going to be looking for lots
Speaker 1: of different ways to make sure she loses. Of course,
Speaker 1: the ultimate is forcing her on the Democratic Party, on Obama,
Speaker 1: on everybody who deposed him, because at that point the
Speaker 1: Democrats had their lowest, smallest chance of winning. Anybody else
Speaker 1: in that top tier would have had a better chance
Speaker 1: of winning than her. So that was Biden's step one
Speaker 1: to make sure the people who did this to him,
Speaker 1: you know, lose, they fail, So he can sit there
Speaker 1: after election day and say I would have won right
Speaker 1: eight five five or zero five A two five to
Speaker 1: five the number text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: Want to get to some more sound, but also some
Speaker 1: of these texts, a number of texts obviously talking about
Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Party bringing the free abortion
Speaker 1: van out to the DNC. And again that's a gift
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Swing states, right, because when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Swing States, you really think they're
Speaker 1: all in with this glorification of killing humans before birth.
Speaker 2: No, if they were, they wouldn't be Swing States.
Speaker 1: So the more the Democrats celebrate this right and dance
Speaker 1: around the graves of these little girls, you know that,
Speaker 1: the more they hurt themselves in the Swing States. But Ryan,
Speaker 1: my premise is that Democrats can't help themselves because what
Speaker 1: they have committed to, what they have committed to worshiping, glorifying, promoting,
Speaker 1: is so heinous and so awful. First, they can't even
Speaker 1: call it by its name abortion anymore. They have to
Speaker 1: say reproductive rights. Their own minds, they have to somehow
Speaker 1: justify it. So they go to these bizarre links to
Speaker 1: celebrate it. I guess, to make themselves feel better and
Speaker 1: knock yourselves out because it's not helping you in the
Speaker 1: Swing States.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm deriving from all this, Dan, is who
Speaker 3: are they talking to? Like last night, I'm sitting there
Speaker 3: watching as I am wont to do and Kelly's making
Speaker 3: fun of me because I have to do it for
Speaker 3: my job and to produce your show. But the audience
Speaker 3: that they're trying to project, whatever this message is to
Speaker 3: AOC Warnock, Hillary Clinton, all the speakers, even Joe Biden himself,
Speaker 3: they're preaching to the choir, the people that are already converts,
Speaker 3: the people that love abortion. To your point, Dan, the
Speaker 3: swing voters in the Swing States watching last night, comparing
Speaker 3: that to what we saw at the RNC, I thought
Speaker 3: it was no contest.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the RNC was so good. And then
Speaker 1: this comes to another text that's relevant, Dan, You're lying
Speaker 1: to yourself. If you really think Donald Trump is going
Speaker 1: to get a majority of the independent voters, most of
Speaker 1: them hate him. What you say, when have I ever
Speaker 1: said that Trump's gonna win a majority of independence? That
Speaker 1: that is not what his strategy is based on. Trump's
Speaker 1: strategy is based on what it was in sixteen as well.
Speaker 1: Get an explosion of turnout, explosion of turnout from people
Speaker 1: who normally don't vote, and a lot of them will
Speaker 1: be conservative, but not all. Trump has an awful lot
Speaker 1: of voters who who maybe aren't even attracted to him
Speaker 1: by his policy, they like the fact that he's their
Speaker 1: way to stick a finger of the political world. So
Speaker 1: that's Trump's strategy. It's not based on winning independence.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if he did, but I've never
Speaker 1: said he's going to come out and win independence. What
Speaker 1: I've said is you're gonna have a lot of people
Speaker 1: who don't like Trump vote for Trump out of their
Speaker 1: own self interest.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what's going to happen now. Ryan, you
Speaker 2: asked this.
Speaker 1: Great question about, Okay, why is the Democratic Party putting
Speaker 1: all this boris scene from Star Wars front stuff up
Speaker 1: front and center, Because clearly, and Peggy Noonan nailed this,
Speaker 1: Harris has thrown in with the idea that this is
Speaker 1: a far left base election and they know they're in trouble, right,
Speaker 1: That's why they just agreed to a second debate in
Speaker 1: October when she said she wouldn't. They know they're going
Speaker 1: to be losing in October. So she and the cabal
Speaker 1: think her best chance is just be open about it,
Speaker 1: you know, price controls, guaranteed equal outcome, be as far
Speaker 1: left as you possibly can, and she's betting that her
Speaker 1: best chance to win is an explosion of support from
Speaker 1: these people in America have always wanted socialism anyway, and
Speaker 1: this is their chance to get it.
Speaker 4: Is it a base election?
Speaker 3: Then on both sides, Dan, you talk about turnout for Trump,
Speaker 3: and this is a theory that Rush Limbaugh espoused for
Speaker 3: years that he didn't care about trying to win the
Speaker 3: middle or the independence, that if they generated enthusiasm from
Speaker 3: the conservative base, from Republican voters, you know, kind of
Speaker 3: championing that message of conservatism, that that would win in
Speaker 3: and of itself. Now, by contrast, like you're saying, leaning
Speaker 3: into the far left proclivities of the Democratic Party and
Speaker 3: the Prohomas base that we see rallying and protesting outside
Speaker 3: the United Center, Kamala Harris is going for that same strategy,
Speaker 3: but from the left. And I just don't know that
Speaker 3: hatred for Trump, which is a powerful motivator and a
Speaker 3: reason why a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 3: voting like they did in twenty twenty, paired with whatever
Speaker 3: enthusiasm they can gin up for Kamala. Harris is going
Speaker 3: to match Dan the enthusiasm Donald Trump has this time around,
Speaker 3: which I think is far more than twenty twenty, and
Speaker 3: I think even exceeds twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think to Harris Camp for a
Speaker 1: second thinks it's a winning strategy. I think they just
Speaker 1: believe it's their best chance to win. And they're probably
Speaker 1: right about that, right because what they have to hope
Speaker 1: for now is it something that's never been seen before.
Speaker 1: Will happen, because that's what it will take for her
Speaker 1: to win. Listen, they know that the only way Biden
Speaker 1: was able to win this razor thin victory in twenty
Speaker 1: was to claim that he's some kind of moderate. Barack
Speaker 1: Obama claimed he was some kind of moderate when he ran.
Speaker 1: That's the only way the Democrat could win. In most places,
Speaker 1: the only way the Democrat can win is by lying
Speaker 1: and claiming.
Speaker 2: To be a moderate.
Speaker 1: And so this whole idea that America is going to
Speaker 1: elect this wildly radical San Francisco far leftist, no that
Speaker 1: they know that would defy every common experience we've had
Speaker 1: in American presidential politics. That's why they're going with this
Speaker 1: far out, far left strategy because they.
Speaker 2: Why not throw it at the wall. The usual stuff
Speaker 2: isn't going to stick for us? Well, and that's five
Speaker 2: five yeah.
Speaker 3: With I mean the abortion of vasectomy, food trucks outside.
Speaker 4: I understand this, and like, oh, well, are they trying
Speaker 4: to appeal.
Speaker 1: To well, everything we just discussed now A Texter to
Speaker 1: Dan A five seven seven three nine Da N five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine Dan, are you calling a Trump
Speaker 1: easy victory again?
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not.
Speaker 1: And but I do believe it's going to be a
Speaker 1: Trump victory, and it could be a Trump victory with
Speaker 1: very comfortable margins.
Speaker 2: Because she is that bad.
Speaker 1: I just asked people to step back, you know, take
Speaker 1: red jersey, blue jersey off, just be totally objective.
Speaker 2: She really is that bad.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of a presidential candidate before who
Speaker 1: they couldn't allow to give an interview for a month,
Speaker 1: particularly the first month. She really is that bad. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is intellectually superior to her. She really is that bad.
Speaker 1: She also has some issues and I'll touch on it
Speaker 1: when we come back from the break that no one
Speaker 1: of us know that the full scope of none none
Speaker 1: of us know the specifics of but based on the
Speaker 1: reporting that's out there and what we can see with
Speaker 1: their own eyes, they're really significant issues and the last
Speaker 1: kind of issues anybody would want in their president eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five A two five five text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven thirty nine.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Women are not without electrical without not allowed.
Speaker 4: There's not without.
Speaker 1: Electoral electorals or political power, no kidding. And you know
Speaker 1: the scary thing, and I mean this literally, and if
Speaker 1: you disagree, let's have the conversation. Joe Biden is intellectually
Speaker 1: superior to Kamala Harris. I don't think there's any doubt
Speaker 1: about it. For all of Biden's failures and proper and challenges,
Speaker 1: he would go out there and do a press conference,
Speaker 1: he'd go out there and do an interview he could
Speaker 1: he could take and try to defend a position. They've
Speaker 1: admitted she's not capable of any of that, and that's
Speaker 1: why they've hidden her. Now for what is it over
Speaker 1: a month or about a month eight five to five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two to five to five the number.
Speaker 1: But she had proven long before that that she wasn't
Speaker 1: capable of those things. So, yeah, Clad, You're here so
Speaker 1: much to talk about from last night and beyond. I
Speaker 1: do want to get to some of these texts though.
Speaker 1: To Dan five seven seven three nine, Dan Ron White,
Speaker 1: the comedian said it best you can't fix stupid. I personally,
Speaker 1: I'm not labeling Kamala Harris stupid.
Speaker 2: I never would would. I don't think she's stupid. I
Speaker 2: think that.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has processing issues. I think she has other
Speaker 1: issues that interfere with her ability to grasp, to understand,
Speaker 1: to process, to take a position, defend a position. I
Speaker 1: think that she has a lot of difficulties there. I
Speaker 1: think she may have some other issues that impair her
Speaker 1: ability to function in that way that you would expect
Speaker 1: from a president or a senator or anybody else like that.
Speaker 1: That's why I think we see a lot of the
Speaker 1: video that we've seen over time. I don't know, and
Speaker 1: I can't claim to know what those particular issues are.
Speaker 1: I just know what the outcome looks like, what it
Speaker 1: looks like in the end, and it's pretty disabling when
Speaker 1: you stop and think about it.
Speaker 2: Hey, five five for zero five eight two five five
Speaker 2: the number.
Speaker 1: I'll get back to some reporting on something that I
Speaker 1: think is a good example of how that manifests in
Speaker 1: real life, though you've seen a lot of it yourself already. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's start in Denver today on the phones with Doc.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dame Kaplis show. Welcome Dan.
Speaker 8: I just want to suggest that the biggest blunder important
Speaker 8: history was not having your debate after the Democratic Convention
Speaker 8: and then Biden be denominee and then had the debate.
Speaker 8: Trump probably did have won fifty states.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now let's talk about that. That's a fair point.
Speaker 1: Weighing on the other side of that, my friend is
Speaker 1: remember when all this came down, This bogus prosecution in
Speaker 1: New York was reaching the conviction point, and Biden came
Speaker 1: out and he taunted Trump. He taunted Trump on video,
Speaker 1: Hey I hear you're free on Wednesdays. At that point,
Speaker 1: with the election still pretty close, remember it had not
Speaker 1: started to separate at that point. Can't you see where
Speaker 1: Trump and his camp would have thought that they were
Speaker 1: running a risk if they did not take Biden up
Speaker 1: on that then, And besides, Trump had already been out
Speaker 1: there saying any time, any place, right. Do you really
Speaker 1: think Trump could have waited at that point?
Speaker 8: It's hindsight, but I still think just imagine if they
Speaker 8: had the debate after the convention, what do you think
Speaker 8: would have happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, here's one thing I think would have happened
Speaker 1: is they would have protected Biden more in that debate.
Speaker 1: I mean one, and they shouldn't, right, they should not.
Speaker 1: But watch the way they're going to protect Harris. That's
Speaker 1: why I say, my dearly departed dog, Reggie could do
Speaker 1: fine in that debate the way that ABC is going
Speaker 1: to protect Kamala Harris. And I credit I credit CNN
Speaker 1: and Jake Tapper. And I think it was Dana, wasn't
Speaker 1: it who did not protect Biden that night? But if
Speaker 1: this had occurred, and I submit to you, my friend,
Speaker 1: the reason they didn't protect Biden that night is what
Speaker 1: I've been saying for months on air before that. The
Speaker 1: left wants Biden gone. I'd said for months before that,
Speaker 1: CNN does not want Bidens the nominee.
Speaker 2: What's that.
Speaker 8: I should? I agree? And I hope Tom's two colors
Speaker 8: show up the fourth time chests and talk at simporaneously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Doc, appreciate it. Man, Thanks, really good question
Speaker 1: you raised. I know a lot of people are thinking
Speaker 1: about that, but we've got to be realistic. If the
Speaker 1: debate between Trump and Biden had occurred after Biden was
Speaker 1: formerly the nominee, the moderators would have protected Biden. What
Speaker 1: we saw that night never would have been allowed to
Speaker 1: happen because they know Biden's then the nominee.
Speaker 2: Obviously, as I'd.
Speaker 1: Predicted before the debate, you had almost the entire leftist
Speaker 1: media wanting Biden replaced as the nominee, and the debate
Speaker 1: was the opportunity to trigger that, and that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's anyway Tapper and Bash failed to
Speaker 1: protect Biden if he is locked in as the nominee.
Speaker 3: I think him melting down the way that he did
Speaker 3: surprise even them Dan as I watched their faces, especially
Speaker 3: Dana Bash. If you remember, at one point she was
Speaker 3: pointing for Joe Biden's benefit over to Jake to direct
Speaker 3: his attention to the person actually asking the question. She
Speaker 3: was trying to help him in that way. So I
Speaker 3: think Joe Biden was so bad there was no saving
Speaker 3: him by either Dana Bash or Jake Tapper that night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get that, but I respectfully agree, I
Speaker 1: think they could have saved him. I think one of
Speaker 1: the things that startled him was that they weren't protected him.
Speaker 1: Every single debate he'd had before, they'd protected him at
Speaker 1: least against the Republican And yeah, I think if that's
Speaker 1: a post convention debate, the ref steps in and they
Speaker 1: just don't allow it to get that bad for him.
Speaker 1: But we'll never know, right well, we will know because
Speaker 1: you're going to see it on September tenth. You're going
Speaker 1: to see the way the moderators protect Kamala Harris. That's
Speaker 1: why I keep saying, I'll come back to the phone
Speaker 1: lines when we come back from this break.
Speaker 2: You can text me as well.
Speaker 1: DN five seven seven three nine, will continue to get
Speaker 1: to great texts.
Speaker 2: But listen, the debate's a great opportunity.
Speaker 1: But it's a great opportunity for Trump to shine and
Speaker 1: for Trump to put to rest some of those concerns
Speaker 1: that some voters.
Speaker 2: Have about him.
Speaker 1: But Kamala Harris don't expect to melt down because the
Speaker 1: moderators are going to protect her
