But beyond that, 43 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.080 who in the world would design an airport where when 44 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.159 you pick up your luggage after a long trip, you 45 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.479 cannot walk out the door on that same floor. 46 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.840 Nope, you have to. 47 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.520 Get on an elevator or risk death on an escalator 48 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.439 in order to get to. 49 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.879 The floor where you can then leave. Uh huh. Nobody 50 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.960 could be that stupid. 51 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.719 So anyway, I've got one other complaint about DIA. Why 52 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.639 in the original design they moved Stapleton right, They had 53 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.199 to Denver was going to grow, and they anticipated that, 54 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.039 and that was smart. 55 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.000 However, you set it out way to the east. 56 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.159 Why Dan, are there only two lanes in either direction 57 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.240 on pain of Boulevard? 58 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.800 Yeah? Right, yeah? 59 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.039 And why name it after a living guy? And listen, 60 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.319 we are politics different. I like Payin you just fine 61 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.319 had him on a bunch, and I think our kids 62 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.919 played on the same baseball team. But you don't name 63 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000 a highway like that after a living person. 64 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.560 But there's no reason, Dan, and I'm not an engineer, 65 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.319 but to have three lanes in either direction the whole 66 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.159 way from when you go off of Ice seventy dude 67 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.240 to get out there and back. No, you gotta two 68 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.080 lanes and now it's jamming aacked. 69 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520 You don't have to tell me how much there is 70 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.000 that stinks about that DIA deal. I mean, I'm the 71 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.240 guy I'll tell you true story. I'm the guy who 72 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.560 was threatened in a way very few people in the 73 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.360 media have ever been threatened. When I was breaking the 74 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.360 story on Channel four, I was their legal analyst at 75 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.080 the time, and credit to Channel four for having the 76 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.120 guts to run with it. 77 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.560 But I had it well documented. 78 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.560 You know, I was breaking the story that wait a second, 79 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.120 you know the city may have been misleading bond buyers 80 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:46.520 about when that. 81 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:47.639 Airport was going to open. 82 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.919 So I broke that story and had everything we reported 83 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.960 was backed up. And then get this, right, I get 84 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.919 this call. I get this call. Came about a month 85 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.759 away from my wedding at the time this story breaks, 86 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.159 and I get this call and uh, hey, Dan, you 87 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.039 know want you to come down, Want you to come 88 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.159 down to the city Attorney's office. Okay, yeah, what time 89 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:14.680 you want me there? Six o'clock, six o'clock at night, So, huh, 90 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.480 I'm fine. I go down to the City Attorney's office. 91 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.839 It turned into a very let's say, a very very 92 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.879 long intense conversation in which I was not doing much talking. 93 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.120 And I was informed during this conversation that if I 94 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.560 don't back off my story, if I don't back off 95 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.120 my story. Not only am I going to get sued, 96 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.399 my law firm's going to get sued. And I said 97 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.920 my law firm and they said, yeah, you sent this 98 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.480 public records request on your law firm letterhead. 99 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.519 So so it's. 100 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.720 Remarkable, as I remember it went to like ten at night, 101 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.600 and and then I don't remember the verbatim. 102 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.519 It was so many years ago. But but. 103 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.920 I was left with the very distinct impression that very 104 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.879 very bad things and I'm just I'm not talking about 105 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.079 anything criminal, but very very bad things were going to 106 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.920 happen to me in terms of lawsuits, et cetera if 107 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.000 I did not back off, and you know, everlasting credit, 108 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:21.959 everlasting credit to Channel four and to KOA Radio Lee Larson, 109 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.160 and they did not back off, threat of lawsuit, lawyers hired, 110 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.720 everything else. They did not back off. They stuck with 111 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.639 the story. And when the SEC, I was called into 112 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.600 the SEC offices in this region in Denver, and I 113 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.199 can't remember if it was the top guy. I think 114 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:41.720 it may have been, but one of the top people 115 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.920 in the SEC said, hey, man, we've been following your stories. 116 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.839 We want your files. And I said, hey, they are 117 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.079 all yours. Station gave permission, turned over my files and 118 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.000 they began to pursue it. So all I'm saying is 119 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.199 there were a lot, a lot of questions surrounding that 120 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.920 whole DIA thing when it started. And to his credit, listen, 121 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.600 I want to give credit to Meyorweb because Mayor Web, 122 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.040 I think we went to lunch one day or he 123 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.360 initiated something and and he just said, hey, Dan, I'm 124 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.279 I heard your story about what happened at the City 125 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.480 Attorney's office at night, and I just want to tell 126 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.959 you that I don't know all the details, but but 127 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.079 I apologize. He said, I never I never would have 128 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.839 wanted anything like that to happen. So, you know, kudos 129 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.879 to Mayor Web for stepping up and making that point. 130 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.879 But but yeah, I was just so impressed Channel four, 131 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.759 their management, KOA, their management, all these threats coming down 132 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.600 on them. They stuck behind the story and they should 133 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.879 have eight five five for zero five eight two five 134 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.639 five the number. Glad you're here, Hey, Polling, there is 135 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.639 no doubt now on equivocally no DNC bounce for Kamala Harrison. 136 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.920 Think about how significant that is with all of the 137 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.120 bubble rep all of the protection everything she had going 138 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.959 for her from the media, no bounce from the DNC. 139 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.959 What does that tell you, mister fung? And that leads 140 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.319 us to some interesting sound here where Eugene Robinson from 141 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:18.160 the hard Left on MSNBC says, listen, yeah, Harris campaign 142 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.240 is trying to change the rules of the debate because 143 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.480 they can, because Trump needs it more than they do. 144 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.000 The Harris campaign is trying to change the rules, right, 145 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.839 I mean three weeks two, three weeks ago, they were saying, no, 146 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.439 we're gonna stick with the rules that were agreed with, 147 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.000 you know, for the for the Biden debate, when it's 148 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.759 going to be September tenth, it's going to be ABC, 149 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.639 the same rules. And now they're saying, well, but we 150 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.759 want to change this rule. They're doing that because they can, 151 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.079 because at this point it looks to me as if 152 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.360 Donald Trump believes he needs this debate more than Kamala 153 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.279 Harris does. 154 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.720 Do you think that's true? 155 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.160 Right now, let me ask you, listen, the debate's going 156 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.720 to happen, right, I mean, Trump's whole brand had his strength. 157 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.040 She's obviously weak. 158 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.879 Trump is not going to take a hit on his 159 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.000 brand by not showing up. He's going to show up 160 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.000 no matter what, and he should. But if there was 161 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.480 at this point, if there was a way to get 162 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.040 out of the debate without looking weak, would you advise 163 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.519 Trump to do that? Because right now the trend line 164 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.399 is not good for Kamala Harris. I think Kamala Harris 165 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.920 needs this debate right now more than Donald Trump. And 166 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.639 I think proof of that is the Harris camp, after 167 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.679 saying there would just be one debate agreed to now, 168 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.080 the Harris camp then said they wanted a debate October. So, yeah, 169 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.200 who do you think needs the debate more right now? 170 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.159 Trump or Harris. The other thing I want to get 171 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:49.279 to and there isn't time for it now, is the 172 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.960 Harris camp remains adamant that they want the mics on 173 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.000 full time in that debate. Now, in the end, they're 174 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.480 not going to get that unless Trump agrees to it, 175 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.519 because ABC is saying they're going to stick with the 176 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.120 original rules. ABC is saying that after Trump has brought 177 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.919 the public pressure. But in the end, do you think 178 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.279 it would be better for Trump to have the mics on? 179 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.399 And why do you think the Harris campaign is so 180 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.240 determined that Trump's mic remain on while she's talking eight 181 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.200 five five or zero five eight two five five. And 182 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.919 I know what the obvious answer to that is, but 183 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.639 what do you think is really going on there? 184 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.120 You're on the Dan Capla Show. 185 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.000 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 186 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.879 The Governor and I and we were all doing a 187 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.279 tour of the library here and I'm talking about the 188 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:46.240 significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of 189 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.480 the passage of time. 190 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.639 So when you think about it. 191 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.399 There is great significance to the passage of time in 192 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.639 terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, 193 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.720 what we need to do to create these jobs. And 194 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.480 there is such great signif efficants to the passage of 195 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.120 time when we think about a day in the life 196 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:05.759 of our. 197 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.440 Children five point twenty one. 198 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.840 And the reason some of these oldies but goodies are 199 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.919 popping up is is obviously there's much more thought being 200 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.679 given now to whether there's something really wrong with Kamala Harris. 201 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.840 When it gets to the point where the cabal the 202 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.600 campaign has to admit that she cannot go out into 203 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.039 a friendly interview on her own, she has to have 204 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.360 tim Walls of all people go with her. They know 205 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.879 those optics are terrible. They know it makes it look 206 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279 very weak. So it's an admission there's something wrong there. 207 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.440 Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? 208 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.759 You exist in the context of all in which you 209 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.600 live and what came before you. 210 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.679 Yeah, so, well, probably never know what it is, because 211 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.399 I don't think she's going to win the presidency. If 212 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.799 she wins, we probably find out after that in a 213 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.440 very very painful way. But we'll probably never know what 214 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.919 it is. But there's obviously something wrong and it's obviously disqualifying. 215 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.840 Let's go to the phone lines and fuy go how 216 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.600 about Dan and Centennial. You're on the Dan Kapla show. 217 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.080 Welcome, Hey Dan, how's you going living the dream? 218 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:18.480 My friend? 219 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.320 Hey, So, I've been living in Denver pretty much my 220 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.039 whole life, and I worked for the airline for fifteen years, 221 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.200 and in ninety ninety one I was working for Continental. 222 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.399 I started at A one and ninety one. I've worked 223 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.320 for Continental and was a sign to the DA Continental 224 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.720 construction team to be on site out there. 225 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:40.159 Huh. 226 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.799 And you had to run the baggage tests and do 227 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:47.600 all that stuff with that failed program. But there even that, 228 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:52.120 they put the regular folks have to drop a level 229 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.600 of Yes, they wanted all the sets. They wanted all 230 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.159 the shuttle buses and ground service and taxi cabs and 231 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.440 all that other stuff to be right outside bag you 232 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.320 calim to case they had to stand there waiting in 233 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:02.720 the weather. 234 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.840 R Well, thank you for clearing that up. 235 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:07.039 Dan. 236 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.200 It's it is the stupidest thing I've ever heard right 237 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.720 at di A and I talked about it earlier, and 238 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:13.720 Dan just gave us a. 239 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.519 Story behind it. 240 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.279 You pick up your luggage, as you know, you can't 241 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.120 just pick up your luggage and roll out and get 242 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.399 into a car. You have to go to a different floor. 243 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.759 I don't I didn't think there was a person on 244 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.159 the face of the air stupid enough to design a 245 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.320 building that way. But Dan and I must have just 246 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.399 missed because I worked for Continental Airlines in baggage. But 247 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.960 that was out at the old Stapleton Back to the 248 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.279 phone lines. How about Brian and Arvada, Colorado. You're on 249 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.240 the Dan Kapla show. 250 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:47.120 Welcome and you know I think. 251 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.440 Anything. 252 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.080 Brian, obviously my. 253 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.519 Friend, you're you're a little choppy right now. We're going 254 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.200 to try to get you back in a second. Let's 255 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.720 go to beautiful Peblo. Talk to Patrick here on the 256 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.399 dan Kaplas. 257 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.279 Sh'll welcome, Hey, Dan, Hey, Well, Kelly kind of corrected 258 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.120 me here. I was going to call in and say 259 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.679 that eighty two percent of Kamala's staff is clit. That's 260 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.000 got to say something. I'd like to know what some 261 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.879 of those people quit over, you know why they left. 262 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.519 But she said it's ninety two percent. And I'll tell 263 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.879 you what, There's got to be something wrong if you've 264 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:32.320 got that much of a problem with people that you've hired. Yeah, 265 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.799 And I don't trust these polls because I believe there's 266 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.000 a lot of foreign influence right now. And like when 267 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.600 ABC gives Kamala's, say, a one point lead, well that 268 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.279 tells me she must really be down because that's a 269 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:48.840 that's a friendly source there. 270 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.759 Now, that is a great point. Patrick. 271 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:55.360 Can you look historically and you know when this time 272 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.919 in the past, right, I think probably in sixteen Clinton 273 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.720 probably at a six to seven point lead in the 274 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.919 nation race, Biden probably five six, stuff like that. So clearly, 275 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.799 now consensus of the polls is as much as most 276 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.799 of the polls are trying to lie to help Paris. 277 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.679 Consensus of the polls, is no bounce out of the 278 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.919 DNC in and of itself. I think that's huge news. 279 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.080 Then we can point to individual other polls that again 280 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:22.679 I read as encouraging because of the trend line. Right, 281 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.559 because of the trend line. Even if Ryan you tell me, 282 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.480 because you're a pole geek like me, if the election 283 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.759 was held today, right based on the polls, we're looking 284 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:34.519 at who wins Donald Trump. 285 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:35.919 I think that's true. 286 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.240 I think he wins again. And it's sound like a 287 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.879 broken record. I'm going to call it the ac C strategy. 288 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.919 We're coming into college football season here, and if I 289 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.639 were part of the Trump team, I'm not. But if 290 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.639 I were and I were being advised the acc strategy 291 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.159 Atlantic Coast Conference would be Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia. He 292 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.039 wins those three states, he wins the election. 293 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:54.679 That's it. 294 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.799 Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin would not matter. If Trump wins 295 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:04.399 the three states I just stated, and obviously holds Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Florida, 296 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.200 he wins Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia. 297 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.240 He's in the White House. 298 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.879 Well, And in addition to just the numbers in the polls, 299 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.720 you have to look at. You have to look at 300 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:19.080 the overarching factors, the powerful currents in the race, and 301 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.200 the most powerful of all of those is the well 302 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.600 founded belief that America is not going to elect a 303 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.039 San Francisco radical. And remember, I mean, but Biden only 304 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.320 pulled it off by a handful of votes. First, that 305 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.840 the media rigged the election by not reporting the hunter 306 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.320 Joe Biden corruption story with the laptop. If that story 307 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.840 had been fairly reported, Biden loses. But beyond that, you know, 308 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.399 he also only won because he pulled off the con 309 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.360 that he was some kind of moderate. America is simply 310 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.200 not going to elect a San Francisco radical. I don't 311 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.000 care if it's male, female, this color, that color, whatever, 312 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.120 ain't gonna happen. 313 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.480 Here's my other point that it has to happen. It's 314 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.159 going to happen a little bit in this interview, you 315 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.240 would figure, even with Dana Bash being a friendly the 316 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.440 debate her on the campaign trail, she's got to come 317 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.799 out and flesh out a policy position on all these 318 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.200 things that she allegedly flip flopped on, and that doesn't 319 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:13.480 break well for her either way. 320 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:13.759 Dan. 321 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.240 If she flip flops on them, then she's abandoned the 322 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.960 Left in their base, and they're going to be wondering, well, 323 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.559 what are you doing. I thought you were in favor 324 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.080 of the Green New Deal in Medicare for all. If 325 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.879 she and then to the other point of that, people 326 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.840 aren't going to believe her if she just flips on 327 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.279 every one of these issues. 328 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.440 But let me point out, respectfully, a possible fatal flaw 329 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.279 in your analysis. Not your analysis. I'm not suggesting you 330 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:42.279 have to take your analysis, but the left at this point, Ryan, 331 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.399 Kamala Harris could come out in her speech on September ten, 332 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.159 where she'll be protected by ABC. She could come out 333 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.879 and take every single position Donald Trump takes. 334 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.200 Build the wall, build it now. 335 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.639 I want to build it ten feet higher than Trump, 336 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.320 says Kamala Harris. And the left still going to vote 337 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.840 for her because they're going to know she's lying. They're 338 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.519 still going to vote for and right, I mean that 339 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.119 they're just going to bet that she's lying. 340 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.440 So how many people in the middle of the road 341 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.880 politically are going to buy her bs that she's flipped 342 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.079 on all these positions. I don't think that's why she's 343 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.720 going to lose the race, right, I don't think it's 344 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.559 a sale she can make. 345 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.440 Yeah, no, I and listen. 346 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.680 This is where we get into those other subjective I 347 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.839 think powerful currents in the race, and that is that 348 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.960 the swing states are the swing states for a reason, 349 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.079 that the swing state voters who go back and forth 350 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:35.400 and decide these elections are like that for a reason. 351 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.200 And they know they know about her from the three 352 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.240 and a half years she's been VP, but they also 353 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.880 know that she didn't get a single vote, that she 354 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.759 wasn't elected. She doesn't have the gravitas, she doesn't have 355 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.799 the weight, she doesn't have the credibility that comes from 356 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.039 winning a primary. They know that Joe Biden was deposed, 357 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.599 They know this whole set of circumstances, all of that 358 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.480 ways against her, and in race as close as this 359 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.759 one may well be, I think all of those currents 360 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.319 are really going to matter, and they're going to break 361 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.480 in Trump's favor. Eight five five for zero five eight 362 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.599 two five to five. Come back to our lines, come 363 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.720 back to great Texters. But what do you want to hear? 364 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.799 Dana Bash, not ask, but pursue with Kamala Harris. 365 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.319 Tomorrow, You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 366 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.599 You're listening to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. 367 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.880 Have you not agreed to muted microphones? 368 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.480 Yill. 369 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.880 I think we've made pretty clear our pooks, how along 370 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.599 with Donald Trump himself, is for unmuted microphones. I think 371 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:41.359 the question that you got to ask is to Donald 372 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.440 Trump and his and his team. Are they in agreement 373 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.319 between themselves on how we should approach this debate because 374 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.640 we are in agreement with Donald Trump that he should 375 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:50.319 be live and unmuted microphone. 376 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:51.400 Yeah, fascinating. 377 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.519 You know again, it comes back to it appears to 378 00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:00.319 be the emo of the Harris campaign. That's somehow, you know, 379 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.440 being angry and being mean and being jerks is some 380 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.799 kind of substitute for real strength because you get that 381 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.119 attitude from them. You get that attitude from these various 382 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:18.160 spokespersons in almost every single interview. But Berman on CNN 383 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.720 did a great job of pinning down the hair spokesperson 384 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.160 and at times appeared openly frustrated with the hair spokesperson. 385 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.599 Just said, Hey, I just want to know. ABC has 386 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.599 said these are the rules. The mics are muted. Do 387 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.559 you agree to the rules and listen In the end, 388 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:35.559 the mics are going to be muted and it's absolutely 389 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.640 critical for Donald Trump that they be muted, not for 390 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.559 the reason everybody's talking about. Because everybody says, oh, yeah, 391 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.680 it's to Trump's benefit that the MIC's off when he's 392 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:47.640 not talking, because then he won't interrupt as much and 393 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.720 look bad and turn off photers. I understand that's the 394 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.599 popular perception, and you know, maybe there's truth in that, 395 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:58.279 but but that's not the reason the Harris camp is 396 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:06.519 so furiously dedicated to getting those mics on. Here's their problem. Okay, Obviously, 397 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.680 obviously Kamala Harris has some kind of challenge, some kind 398 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.240 of issue, some kind of processing issue that makes it 399 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.640 very difficult for her to think on her feet. We've 400 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.039 seen that a million times, right, That's why they hide her. 401 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.039
