Again, there is 6 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.320 so much reason for optimism, and that's in this presidential 7 00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.600 race right now. That's for the world as a whole, 8 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.000 and that's even for the very uphill climb in Colorado. 9 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.359 So a couple of great young talents, I believe it 10 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.280 or not. Four thirty this morning, I'm watching the full 11 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.079 debate tape of Gabe Evans against Adrek Caraveo in CD eight, 12 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.719 which could very well decide control of the House. And 13 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.079 I've got tie. I've always liked Gabe Evans. I always 14 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.000 said he was a star. In the interview with the 15 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:45.840 Speaker of the House Mike Johnson the other day, I 16 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.799 said that, hey, we we all know Evans is a star, 17 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.799 but what do you say to Democrats who are waffling 18 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.439 in the race. And man, if you watched the way 19 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.399 Gabe Evans handled that debate, and again it's it's two 20 00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.920 on one, not not as blatantly well at times is 21 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.200 blatantly as it was, you know, three on one against Trump, 22 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.959 three on one against Vans, it was at least two 23 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.599 on one against Evans. Kyle Clark moderated the debate, though 24 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.760 he did have Kyle Clark had one good section with Caraveo. 25 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:18.319 But but Gabe Evans did so very well, just so impressive, 26 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.640 and he'll join us to talk about that at four 27 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.319 thirty six. And you know, I really do hope you 28 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.239 take a close look at that race, no matter where 29 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.000 in America you are now, because your life's going to 30 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.159 be better at the GOP controls a house and a 31 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:35.840 whole lot worse if the crazy left does. And Gabe Evans, man, 32 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.760 he is really worth a look. So I hope you 33 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.040 look at that race. And then Brittany Vesley, super super 34 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.680 sharp young woman, head of the COLORAO Catholic Conference, and 35 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.680 whether you believe in God or not, let alone be 36 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.319 a Catholic. She is just stellar and she knows her 37 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.760 stuff and it's way beyond talking points. And she had debated. 38 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.120 And I really respect people who stand up in debate 39 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.519 right because they get in the arena of these so 40 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.079 called journalists who preen around and moderate debates and everything else, 41 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.239 they would never in a million years get in a 42 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.400 real debate where they had to answer questions or be challenged. 43 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.400 You know, they're just kind of snark. But Britney Vesley, 44 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.120 she gets into the arena against Danny Newsom, and Danny 45 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.319 Newsom and I are on opposite sides probably of everything, 46 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.199 But I like Danny. I've known her for a long time. 47 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.840 And Brittany Vesley got in the arena with her yesterday 48 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.280 to debate Amendment seventy nine, which is putting infanticide into 49 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.919 the Colorado Constitution. And we have some of those clips 50 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.439 and Brittany will join us later in the show as well. 51 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.120 So looking forward to all of that on the local 52 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.000 front and more locally. 53 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.080 But you know, and I hope you're the same way. 54 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.479 It'd be hard to understand onybe could not be, especially 55 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.800 when there's just about how many days left now, Ryan, 56 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.520 thirty days or so left in this race. 57 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.560 Twenty seven twenty seven, okay. See. 58 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.680 And the reason I'm not keeping track of the days is, 59 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.919 as I told you before, I believe the cake is baked. 60 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.960 I believe that barring Martians landing or something like that, 61 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.599 and it could happen. But barring Trump giving it away. 62 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.680 I think he's won this race. But these last twenty 63 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.479 seven days are going to be so much fun because 64 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.520 not to be a jerk, but everything I predicted is 65 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.719 unfolding as predicted, and Kamala Harris now is dropping. I 66 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.280 mean it's not like right off the cliff hosts, you 67 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.400 lost ten points last night, but it is steady, and 68 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.080 it is obvious, and it is in the swing states, 69 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.240 and now you're starting to see what we expected, right 70 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.199 these different headlines popping up in lefty publications talking about 71 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:35.719 how Dems are starting to panic. 72 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.520 So we'll enjoy some of that data together. 73 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.439 But let me get to this text while Ryan is 74 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.960 back with us today, Ryan, you need a better agent 75 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.199 because I think you're going to end up working at 76 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.120 least two days this week and that's way too much. 77 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:51.719 Listen to you. 78 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:52.879 Do you know where I was? 79 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.599 I was trying to find my way through the labyrinth 80 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.560 to watch this Channel eight debate, which I obtained clips 81 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.960 for you. Well, thank you, Valtimore, Artchilatta. I guess representable 82 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.000 Diana to get well. 83 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.879 Great news that Diana is still with us, because I 84 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.039 don't think there's been a Diana. 85 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.840 Are you sure did you do a DNA test. Oh man, 86 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.879 She was impersonator. 87 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.120 She did not look like she had done many public 88 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.519 appearances in recent years. She was a little bit wooden, 89 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.680 and it didn't seem like she was really in the 90 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.519 groove of debating and so forth. 91 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.920 Out of touch, completely out of touch. 92 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.399 Yeah, last memory of her in like eighty six or something. 93 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.439 But yeah, yeah, and. 94 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.399 No, last time on the show. Last time she ever 95 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.480 came on the show. It was very civil. I'd like 96 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.600 her personally. I like it when I bumped into her 97 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.639 around town, which hasn't happened since about eighty six. But 98 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.000 the last time we had around we're talking about the 99 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.199 Abortion Is show. My question was just okay, Congressman, when 100 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.199 then does human life begin? 101 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.040 And she said at first, and I'm like what. 102 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.480 And so so like thirty seconds mother's dilated thirty seconds 103 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.480 before birth. That's not human life. You know, you're just 104 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.079 like two inches away in location. 105 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.759 It magically comes back life. Yeah. 106 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.399 It was a fascinating conversation. But for reasons I do 107 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.319 not understand, she never came back. But I want to 108 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.879 get if people indulge me before you get to all 109 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:25.000 this great Trump data. But I also have some some 110 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.160 they're beyond theories some assumptions. I want to run by 111 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.040 you on the race as well. I do want to 112 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.519 touch on this one text. We got it late yesterday 113 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.079 but Ryan was not here, and it said, Dan, I 114 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.959 hear your program director is in studio again. I hear 115 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.160 you disparage Ryan for time off, yet he works eight 116 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.439 plus hours a day. 117 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.240 You have two hours if you show up. 118 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.600 I'm wondering if program director is evaluating your two hours 119 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.319 for a new host. 120 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:55.639 Oh. 121 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.199 We could only hope, right, But anyway, that's funny. Was 122 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.199 that you No, it was not me. Oh okay. 123 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.920 I was trying to get in this building. I had 124 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.360 to tell you the whole story, Dan, It was a 125 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:06.839 real big cluster. 126 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.079 I'm glad you stopped there. 127 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.000 I did barely. 128 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.480 Yeah, And you were trying to get in what building? 129 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.000 It was downtown, kind of the court where the courthouses, 130 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.399 all the courts are there. Sure, And I was trying 131 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.879 to get into the entry to where this debate was happening, 132 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.120 and a very mean security guard told me I had 133 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.279 to go around through the regular security entrance. I did that, 134 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.519 but then I couldn't get into the studio where they were. 135 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.879 Then I had to be guided by a guy at 136 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.759 the original entrance where I tried to get in, back around, 137 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.279 back through, and finally I got in like ten minutes 138 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:43.519 into the thirty minute debate. 139 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.519 Wow, that's a first world problem, my friend. It was terrible. 140 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.959 Yeah, I'm not sure people are pulling their cars over 141 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.800 now and breaking out. They should feel bad tears for you, 142 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.519 but but yeah, well I'm glad you made it over 143 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.920 there barely. And yeah to this text, you have two 144 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.519 hours if you show up. When's the last time I missed? 145 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:02.639 Now? 146 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.759 The only about the only time I ever missed for 147 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.839 this show is if I'm in court or doing a 148 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.040 deposition or something. 149 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.480 But I'm not like out on the golf course or 150 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:11.279 a beach or anything. 151 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.480 I think that Texters accusing me of being like Johnny 152 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.959 Carson in those later years in the nineties when Jay Leno 153 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.040 was always filling in for him. 154 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.120 Yeah, nowhere near and you see how that ended. Yeah, yeah, 155 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.360 that's right, that's right. Best I've ever looked. I wish 156 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.480 I could find that tape I was about to go 157 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.319 on in LA I was out there covering the Rodney 158 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.639 kin case, and I mean the Burbank studio doing a 159 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.120 national hit and this this woman stops by and says, 160 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.879 I can help you. I said, okay, she had follow me. 161 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.000 Turns out, so I walk back into Leno's studio. Turns 162 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:51.199 out she's Leno's makeup artist. So I go in there, 163 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.519 I do my hit with Bill Stewart and I watched 164 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.040 the tape later after getting a few texts like hey, 165 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.040 did Dan get fired? 166 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.399 And the tape and it didn't even look like me. 167 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:08.160 It looks so good, California. It's so amazing what a 168 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.439 professional like that can do. 169 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.519 I'm glad she was what it was. Also, it was 170 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.920 also a very painful experience because I never looked like 171 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.360 that again. But it was remarkable. 172 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.639 So I'm wondering now what Carson and Leno look like Kimmel, 173 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.560 any of these guys look like in real life. 174 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.240 Uh, probably not nearly as good. 175 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.439 Yeah, yeah, But anyway, So we got a lot to 176 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.639 do today. All of it's going to be fun and important. 177 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.080 And I want to just come right out of the 178 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.320 gate before we have our various Colorado guests and just 179 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.120 talk about the state of the presidential race. And and 180 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.039 I want to run this assumption by you. It's way 181 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.600 beyond a theory, but We have the left right now 182 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.799 hitting Kamala Harris hard for not going to Michigan more, 183 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.440 not going to Wisconsin more. And I know why. I 184 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.840 won't even say I think I know why. I know why. 185 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.840 And then she did something less night on one of 186 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.720 those hard hitting interviews on late night TV that I 187 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.639 think confirms my belief as to why she isn't in 188 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.120 Michigan more, why she isn't in Wisconsin more, even though 189 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.759 the polls show those are both slipping away from her. 190 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.679 You're on the Dan Caplas Show. 191 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.720 And now back to the Dankaplis Show podcast. 192 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.399 Well that is happening. 193 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.720 We have CNN reporting today about what is going on 194 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.200 behind the scenes inside the Harris campaign and more broadly 195 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.399 among Democrats who are growing more and more anxious about 196 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.960 a twenty sixteen REDOC. Cnnsselle Alvarez joins me. Now, Priscilla, 197 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.600 we were just joking here at the table that anxious 198 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.799 Democrats happen on a day that ends and why. But 199 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.440 this is this is something that perhaps is warranted given 200 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.639 the data that they're seeing. 201 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.519 Yeah, right, And I'm trying to remember who is it 202 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.000 who said on this show back when everybody was panicking 203 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.360 you know, as I predicted, Biden was replaced, the race 204 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.960 got tougher for Trump. Paris has had somebody on this 205 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:08.759 show said it's sixteen all over again. Who was that, Yeah, 206 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.639 it was me, And now the Democrats are saying the 207 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.480 same thing. The data they're referring to is actually a 208 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.759 bunch of different polls, not all, but a bunch of 209 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.799 different polls, all showing the same thing. That Donald Trump 210 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.759 is either winning or closing in all of the swing states, 211 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.200 including the Blue Wall States, and down, that Harris is 212 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.399 down in Wisconsin and about to be down in Michigan 213 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.759 if the trend line continues. And that included Quinnipiac polling, 214 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.679 which was just released. 215 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.000 And very very positive for Trump in the swing states. 216 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.639 In fact, the average now in the Blue Wall sits 217 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.120 this is real clear politics average. So it includes the 218 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:54.639 honest polls, the honest but mistaken polls, the dishonest polls, 219 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.039 the junk polls. That includes everything. And it even the 220 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.440 RCP Bridge has Harris's lead down to less than one 221 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.480 point and Trump I hadn't three of the last four 222 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.600 polls in Wisconsin. OURCP average Trump now up. And this 223 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.639 is remarkable, right because he's going to outperform as polling. 224 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.720 Trump now up a half point in Michigan leads in 225 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.360 four of the last five polls, and then Pennsylvania, Trump 226 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.519 now up slightly leads in three. 227 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.639 Of the last five polls. 228 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.000 And so, yeah, Democrats panicking, It's all what we anticipated 229 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.919 on the show, right, But here's the question for you. 230 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.559 What does the left do next? What does the left 231 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.559 do next? 232 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:36.919 Now? 233 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.879 Then listen, nothing's guaranteed right until it's done. This is 234 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.159 just the best analysis we can get from everything available. 235 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.840 But that all points to what I had predicted and 236 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:48.320 Trump pulling away. 237 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.519 So what does the left do now? 238 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.720 I mean, we've saw them in a back room deal 239 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.919 at night depose a democratically elected nominee who also happened 240 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.840 to be the sitting president, and install a replacement without 241 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.440 any democratic process, something unprecedented in all of American history. 242 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.120 So they've already done that, They've already done a bunch 243 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.279 of other stuff that really stinks. 244 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.039 What do they do now? What do they do now? 245 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.320 Because they cannot replace Harris right, they could still replace walls. 246 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.600 They could still bring in Jos Shapiro for walls, and 247 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.960 let's hope they don't. But they couldn't replace Harris, So 248 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.080 what do they do now? And as you ponder that question, 249 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.240 please consider this, which I offered a couple of months ago, 250 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.519 and I believe is obviously more true by the day. 251 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.559 You've got a lot of really smart people on the 252 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.759 left who have horrible ideas for this country, horrible intentions 253 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.039 for this country. But they're intellectually very smart, and they're 254 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.759 very good at tactics, and unfortunately they don't care at 255 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:53.279 all about the truth. And you've got those people who 256 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.840 have clearly concluded a long time ago that the Democrats 257 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.000 are better off if Harris loses this race. So I 258 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.039 don't think we can give a knee jerk. Oh yeah, no, 259 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.879 they'll they'll do whatever they have to do to get 260 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.840 her to win. Not because I think there are really 261 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.600 smart people on the left who who really think the 262 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.080 Dems are better off. Obviously Biden wants her to lose, 263 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.000 right because he doesn't want the people who pants him 264 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.080 and humiliated him to prevail. But smart Democrat operatives want 265 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.480 her to lose. They know she's not going to have 266 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.279 a Supreme Court pick anyway if she does win, and 267 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.519 that she's going to be horrific in the job, it's 268 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.759 going to hurt Democrats across the country, going to wipe 269 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.399 them out in the twenty six mid terms, and it's 270 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.279 going to get him crushed in twenty eight. So there 271 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.720 are a lot of them who want her to lose. 272 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.279 So do you think they do something dramatic now to 273 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.879 try to reverse this and pull it out or just 274 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.320 let her lose believing they're going to be better off 275 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.679 in the long term eight five five for zero five 276 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.480 A two five five text, d An five seven seven 277 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.120 three nine. 278 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.399 Want to get to some of those texts as well. 279 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.440 Quick note Gabe Evan's coming up at four thirty six, 280 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.000 and yeah, I'd really ask you to be here for 281 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.080 this because the job. First of all, the race is critical, right, 282 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.320 even if Gabe was some sort of typical candidate, the 283 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.480 race is so critical in CD eight we need the 284 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.720 Republican to win. But Gabe is a star and he 285 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:17.000 has an amazing story. But just like jd Vance, right, 286 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.480 we all got to prove it, right, we all got 287 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.360 to prove it no matter what arena you're in, I'm 288 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.039 in the courtroom, whatever, we all got to prove it 289 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.080 under fire. And just like jd Vance proved it Gabe 290 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.159 Evans proved it last night when he did this debate 291 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.159 with Caraveo and with Kyle Clark, because it was not 292 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.200 always but most of it was two on one and 293 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.000 Gabe did spectacularly well. So he'll be with us at 294 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.080 five thirty six, four thirty six. Pardon me, that'll be 295 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:49.440 five thirty six in Chicago, but four thirty six in Denver, Colorado. Dan, 296 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.399 please ask Gab where his supporters can get yard signs? 297 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.799 Well to that. A lot of people love yard signs. 298 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.840 I think there are a lot of hoas that don't 299 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:04.279 allow him anymore, Right, yeah, Texter, Dan put nothing past them. 300 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.919 They're trying to create complacencies so Republicans don't think they 301 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.600 need to vote. You know, hey, right after Trump, pardon me, 302 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.120 right after Biden was deposed in that dead of night 303 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.240 backroom deal, I said, wait a second. One of the silver. 304 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.639 Linings here is that. 305 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:26.279 The concern Remember early July, before the cup that deposed Biden, 306 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.559 we were talking on this show about a very very 307 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.960 real concern that Republican and slash Trump because there are 308 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.200 a lot of Trump voters who don't vote Republican normally, 309 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.279 that those voters were going to get complacent figure it 310 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.080 was wrapped up because Biden was obviously so frail and incapable, 311 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.960 and that there might be a surprise on election day 312 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.399 because people thought Trump had it wrapped up and didn't 313 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.559 turn out, and Trump depends on explosive, intense turnout. 314 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.600 But the beauty is a Texter. 315 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.919 I understand the concern, but I think the way this 316 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:04.440 race is unfolded, with Biden being coud and then Harris 317 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.679 getting all that momentum and Harris getting a lead and 318 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.240 Trump climb back, and now Trump taking the lead in 319 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.200 this close to election day, now, I don't see complacency 320 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.600 as a big problem here. I don't think there is 321 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.840 enough time at this point to be complacent. 322 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.639 And if you're just looking at the. 323 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.720 Top line in the polls, it's not like you're going 324 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.399 to look at all the polling say out, Trump's up 325 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.039 ten points, I don't have to vote. If somebody has 326 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.679 a real life and they're not studying this stuff inside 327 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.960 and out and all of the other key factors that 328 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.799 indicate where the race is going, they're going to look 329 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.960 at the polls and say, oh man, every vote counts there. 330 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.200 But I think the folks who just look at all 331 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.120 the data for a living. I think those are the 332 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.080 folks on both sides of the aisle now who are 333 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.240 seeing Trump pulling away in this race. 334 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.879 So thank you, great text. I just for those reasons believe. 335 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.519 That complacency is not going to be a problem for 336 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.159 Trump on election day. Speaking of which, and maybe this 337 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.360 works against the point I just made, but I don't 338 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.480 think so. Ryan to see where Trump's going to Madison 339 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.519 Square Garden just a few days before election day, Yeah, 340 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.400 totally big. So similar to the question I raised about Colorado, 341 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:11.920 I think he's coming here in part to make the 342 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.240 point about Aurora and all of the massive harm caused 343 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.799 by Harrison Biden opening the border, including Venezuela and Gang. 344 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.920 I think he's going to Madison Square Garden, not because 345 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.920 he thinks he's gonna win New York. I think he's 346 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.079 going there and it's brilliant because it's going to get 347 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.960 him so much more attention. Now, if it's another visit 348 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.839 in a swing state, he's going to get attention in 349 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.200 that swing state and they'll get a short national clip. 350 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.200 But only if he screws up he goes to Madison 351 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.160 Square Garden. The fact that he's in New York so 352 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.960 close to election day, Madison Square Garden, that's going to 353 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.759 get some significant media attention that's going to spread through 354 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.920 all the swing states. So I think that's a really 355 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.920 brilliant move on his part, and I'm sure part of 356 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.079 its personal right. 357 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.799 It's just he's on a roll. It's going to feel 358 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.759 really good when we come back.
