This is going 6 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.559 to be the craziest, absolutely most insane stretch run any 7 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.440 political campaign we have ever seen in American history. So 8 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.160 buckle u up eight five to five for zero five 9 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.280 eight two five five. The number text d an five 10 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.799 seven seven three nine. So I don't know if you've 11 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.799 heard about it. You had maybe a snippet or two 12 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.640 here there on the news, but you have to hear 13 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:41.159 the sound more long form. And that is President Trump today. 14 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.280 And you know it was deliberate President Trump, you know, 15 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.520 and he's very courageous about being willing to interview with anybody, 16 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.240 you know, on the major network, folks who obviously are 17 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.640 our extension of the Democratic Party. And today it was 18 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.840 a convention of national Black Journalists. And so President Trump smart, 19 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.399 he knew that, you know, he'd be facing some difficult questions, 20 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.799 and I respect him for deciding to go. And believe me, 21 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.760 I understand the political experts who are saying, did it 22 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.200 really make sense for him to go into an environment 23 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.799 nothing to do with race, just having to do with politics, 24 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.599 an environment where he was likely to be grilled that hard. 25 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.560 But I think yes, because I think part of the 26 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640 appeal and the greatness of President Trump is the fact 27 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.799 that he is courageous and he will take on questions 28 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.480 from those who disagree with him politically, and so again, 29 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.400 nothing to do with race or any of that stuff. 30 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.439 It's just has to do with politics, and he he 31 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.040 is willing, he is willing to stand up and have 32 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.719 that discussion. While Kamala Harris is clearly running a basement campaign. 33 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.519 She's in hiding. I don't think she's done. Maybe I've 34 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.079 missed it. I don't think she's done a single interview 35 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.000 with any kind of challenging journalist. Certainly hasn't had a 36 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120 press conference. I'm talking about since you know the coup, 37 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.879 the political coup that deposed the duly elected Democrat nominee 38 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.640 and then she was chosen by the bosses. Yeah, so 39 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.879 she's running kind of a basement campaign. She won't do 40 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.840 an interest sit down interview with a friendly journalist, and 41 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.000 Trump has the courage to go out and talk to 42 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.879 left leaning journalists all the time, so I get him 43 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.159 going there. But then the headlines that are being made 44 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.800 right now is when President Trump questioned whether Kamala Harris 45 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.199 is black, and so I want to play that sound 46 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.159 for you and get your reaction to it. I'll tell 47 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.719 you right up front, Hey, I don't like it. I 48 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.280 don't think he should be doing that. I don't think 49 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.240 he should go there. I think that he wins on 50 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.199 his great accomplishments. I think he wins on the key 51 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.080 points about her radicalism. I don't know that you have 52 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.840 to say much more of the rest of the campaign 53 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.879 other than San Francisco radical. America just doesn't want to 54 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.439 elect to San Francisco radical. So I don't think he 55 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.800 or the campaign should be question whether she's black. Listen, 56 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.080 Kamala Harrison, my constitutionally protected opinion lies all the time, 57 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.400 all the time. But she's not lying about this. She 58 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.319 is black, So why attack her on one of the 59 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.800 few things she's telling the truth about. I just don't 60 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.280 get that. And I also just don't like that whole 61 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.960 line of attack. He has so much to work with, 62 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.639 starting with his own great accomplishments, and then go to 63 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.360 all of her lies and all of her radical positions 64 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.479 which fall into so many different categories. So I wish 65 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.319 he hadn't done it. I wish he hadn't gone there. 66 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.439 I know there will be, you know, folks who call 67 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.639 the show and disagree with me, and I respect that 68 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.039 and look forward to the conversation. But this is where 69 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.919 it all started. Is I understand the format. Trump wasn't 70 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.479 invited to just like stand up and give a speech. 71 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.719 It was he was going to sit down and he 72 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.599 was going to be grilled by somebody with opposite political 73 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.800 leanings in this case turned out to be ABC reporter 74 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.680 Rachel Scott. So here's how it starts. I want to start. 75 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.759 By addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot 76 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.560 of people did not think it was appropriate for you 77 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.280 to be here today. You have pushed false claims about 78 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.240 some of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to former President 79 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.560 Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the 80 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.720 United States, which is not true. You have told four 81 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.759 congressmen women of color who were American citizens to go 82 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.560 back to where they came from. You have used words 83 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.920 like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've 84 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.120 attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions 85 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.600 that they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've had 86 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.040 dinner with a white supremacists at your Marologu resort. So 87 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.759 my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters 88 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.319 to vote for you, why should black voters trust you 89 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.480 after you have used language like that. 90 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.079 Now, obviously the person interviewing Trump has no interest in 91 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.120 being fair. I don't think accuracy is their priority. But 92 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.399 President Trump knew that going in. Here's how we respond. 93 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.040 Well, First of all, I don't think I've ever been 94 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.519 asked a question so in such a horrible manner. 95 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.480 A first question you. 96 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.360 Don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC? 97 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.959 Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network. 98 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.319 And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in 99 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.399 good spirit. I love the black population of this country. 100 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.639 I've done so much for the black population of this country, 101 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:41.279 including employment, including Opportunity Zones with Senator Tim Scott of 102 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.639 South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever 103 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.600 for black workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much. 104 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.879 And you know, and I say this, Historically, black colleges 105 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.439 and universities were out of money. They were stone call broke, 106 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.680 and I saved them and I gave them long term 107 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.160 financing and nobody else was doing it. 108 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.000 And then the back and forth continues, and this is 109 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:07.680 all today. 110 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.399 I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know 111 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.879 exactly why you would do something like that. And let 112 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.720 me go a step further. I was invited here, and 113 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.360 I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, 114 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.360 I was told my opponent was going to be here. 115 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.639 It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me 116 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.839 under false pretense, and then you said you can't do 117 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:31.720 it with zoom. 118 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.160 Well you know where's zoom. 119 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.319 She's going to do it with zoom, and she's not coming, 120 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.319 And then you are half an hourl A. Just so 121 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.600 we understand, I have too much respect for you to 122 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.360 be late. They couldn't get their equipment working or something. 123 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.759 Yeah, and boy, can't wait to get your reaction to this. 124 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.920 Eight five five four zero five eight two five five. 125 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.120 Listen the way she came out at him. I have 126 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.839 no problem with him being firm and strong in return, 127 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.279 no problem with that whatsoever. You know my concern is 128 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.720 with President in Trump, then Saint Kamala Harris isn't black, 129 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.920 or to be more precise, get it in his own words, mister, 130 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.680 I would think it's very nasty question. Wow, I have 131 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.560 answered the question. 132 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.480 I have been the best president for the black population 133 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.319 since Abraham Lincoln, better. 134 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.240 Than President Johnson. I'm the building right back. 135 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.439 You to start off a question and answer period, especially 136 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.040 when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't get 137 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.879 your equipment to work in such a hostile manner, I 138 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.120 think it's a disgrace. 139 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:33.680 I really do. 140 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.199 Let me just ask a follow up, sir, and then 141 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.639 we'll move on to other questions. 142 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:36.839 Here. 143 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.079 You see, I like his show of strength, and if 144 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.600 you're watching the visual, he kept his composure. You know 145 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.639 when she was sitting there trying to humiliate him, et cetera. 146 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.439 He kept his composure. He came back in a in 147 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.519 a firm and strong way that I don't think crossed 148 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.800 the line. And we're coming up on a break, so 149 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.920 we'll get it to you after the break. But when 150 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.439 he then gets into the question of whether Kamala Harris 151 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.399 is black again, that's for the reasons I stated earlier, 152 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.879 that's a place I don't think he should go, and 153 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.600 it's a place that could be very harmful politically as well. 154 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.639 But first and foremost, I just don't think you should 155 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.199 go there. And the starting point is she is black. 156 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.240 She is black, and it's one of she lies about 157 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.480 so much, but she's telling the truth about that eight 158 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.199 fy five for zero five eight two five five numbers, 159 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.639 So you can tell, I mean the wreck. Can you 160 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.360 imagine the rest of this campaign? Well, let's call it August, 161 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.279 right because it's still technically July. Let's call it August. 162 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.200 We've still got all of August, September, and October. Can 163 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.759 you imagine what is to come? But I want to 164 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.919 get your reaction to that. And also you've got the 165 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.279 VP out there taunting Trump about refusing to debate right now. 166 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.120 He's not refusing to debate, but of course she misrepresents that, 167 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.480 but taunting Trump wants to debate right now? Do you 168 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.639 think he should take her up on that? Eight five 169 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.480 for two five five. Mike Kaufman, the Mayor of Aurora, 170 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.399 with US at five thirty six as we follow up 171 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.080 on that really disturbing, really disturbing, large scale event in 172 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.879 Aurora on Sunday, you're on the Dan Kapla Show. 173 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.600 And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. 174 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.039 I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, 175 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.600 and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was 176 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.919 only promoting Indian heritage. 177 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.759 I didn't know she was. 178 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.600 Black until a number of years ago when she happened 179 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.679 to turn black. And now she wants to be known 180 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.399 as black. So I don't know is she Indian or 181 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:38.000 is she black? 182 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:38.879 She is always. 183 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.679 See I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because 184 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.559 she was Indian all the way and then all of 185 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.000 a sudden she made a turn and she went she 186 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.200 became a black. 187 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:51.519 Just to be clear, thirty. 188 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.440 I think nobody should look into that too when you 189 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.720 ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty. 190 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.879 John four twenty one. Oh man, it is going to be. 191 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.879 Can you imagine how wild it's going to be down 192 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.879 the stretch if you just joined us. That was today 193 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.240 and President Trump, to his credit, I admire the way 194 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.720 he will go and be interviewed by, you know, people 195 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.159 on the left. And this was another example today happened 196 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.159 to be at National Black Journalist, but regardless of colories, 197 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.399 he puts himself up to be interviewed by the left 198 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.279 all the time, while Kamala Harris hides. She hides from interviews, 199 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.480 she hides from press conferences for good reason. You know, 200 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.919 she doesn't have and in terms of the substance, what 201 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.240 President Trump has. And that's one of the many reasons 202 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:39.120 I don't like him going down this road into questioning 203 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.639 whether she's really black. First of all, she is. Second, 204 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.440 even if she wasn't it just don't go down this road. 205 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.840 Talk about the other stuff that matters, not that personal stuff. 206 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.720 He's got so many accomplishments, and she is a San 207 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.799 Francisco radical who is so vulnerable on so many different issues. 208 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.639 So we'll continue to play the sound because it's headline 209 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.000 stuff and it's fascinating. We'll work in some calls and 210 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.399 text as well. I'm sorry, Jeff Colorado Springs, no need 211 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.360 to apologize. You're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome, Hey, Jeff, 212 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:17.159 you with us? You okay? 213 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.759 Think he's in a drive through or something? 214 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.399 Should we should we call for help? Hopefully you're back 215 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.879 from jel What was that? Yeah? Oh and the other 216 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.320 question I threw out there because we've got the VP 217 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.919 now bating Trump pay he should say it to my face. 218 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.519 You know what happened to any place, anywhere, anytime I 219 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.200 want to debate, let's debate right now? Should we debate? 220 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.320 I have very very very strong feelings on whether he 221 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.519 should debate her right now, and I'll get to those 222 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.159 in a second, but I want to give our texters 223 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.559 and callers first crack, starting with this one. Dan Heck, yes, 224 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.960 Trump should wait to see whether Kamala becomes the nominee. 225 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.120 Would you bother going to court until you knew which 226 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.799 insurance company was arguing and what their argument was. I'm 227 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.720 only an engineer, but I wouldn't engineering texter. I'm with 228 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.879 you completely. I'm with you completely. It would be a 229 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.320 big mistake for him to debate right now for this reason, 230 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.320 not because she's not going to be the nominee. I mean, 231 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.440 at this point, you know they are stuck with her 232 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.039 and Trump and all of us dodged a bullet because 233 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.679 the Democrats didn't go with stronger candidates they had available. 234 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.679 And I understand she's on a high right now, and 235 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.120 she's rising in the polls, and some of these polls 236 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.720 are being manipulated to make her rise look bigger than 237 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.240 it is. Others are legit and expectedly, as I predicted 238 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.360 a long time ago. Once Biden was no longer the nominee, though, 239 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.559 the race would get tougher for Trump, and it is. 240 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.000 But the point will come unless more crazy stuff happens. 241 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.720 The point will come where that sugar high begins to 242 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.919 wear off and her numbers start to go down, and 243 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.279 then the Democrats are going to be in gradual panic mode. 244 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.039 It's not going to be all at once, but those 245 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.120 numbers start to add backwards and then all of a 246 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.759 sudden they're thinking, wait a second, there's nowhere to go 247 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.080 but down here with her. And so that's the flow 248 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.600 that under normal circumstances I would expect. Excuse me. So 249 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.360 the reason that Kamala Harris is pushing so hard and 250 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.559 it's smart of her. I mean, listen, she would be 251 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.759 a horrific president on policy and in so many ways, 252 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:28.000 but her group, and remember she didn't win a single vote. 253 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.440 You know, she wasn't elected as nominee. She was chosen. 254 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.559 She was chosen in a back room deal by donors 255 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.120 and others. But whoever is behind this political coup, they're 256 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.559 making a lot of very smart moves and they have 257 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.519 her campaign off to a fast start. It's full of lies, 258 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.159 just absolute blatant lies, and they're hiding her with it, 259 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.080 which is smart. My only point is they're being smart, 260 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.519 and they're smart by pushing for a debate because they 261 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.600 need one now, because they know they're smart, They know 262 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.679 what I said is true. If the sugar high is 263 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.399 going to wear off and her numbers are going to 264 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.559 start to move back as people start to learn more 265 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.720 about who she really is or remember more about who 266 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.200 she really is politically, she's a San Francisco radical. No 267 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.679 amount of money that that campaign spends, no amount of 268 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.799 lies they tell, no amount of media lying for is 269 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.320 going to change the impression of the American people as 270 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.000 a whole that has been formed over almost four years. 271 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.440 They know who she is. So so it would be 272 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.720 a huge mistake to debate right now, to give her 273 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.200 that focus and to give her that win. Not that 274 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.399 she'll beat Trump in a debate, but it would be 275 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.600 It would be comparative compared to what happened when Biden 276 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.200 and Trump debated. Kamala Harris will look like the greatest 277 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.120 debater of all time, even though she'll lose the debate 278 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.879 to Trump. So he's very very smart not to debate 279 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.519 her now because what he needs to do. What he 280 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.360 needs to do is is, first of all, let the 281 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.759 sugar high start to wear off naturally. But I'm telling 282 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.639 you this Trump campaign, which has been you know, no 283 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.320 campaign is perfect, right they they were caught flat footed 284 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.639 when when Biden was deposed so quickly and Harris became 285 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.799 the nominee that they missed some opportunities there, didn't get 286 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.720 on message quickly enough. They're still not on message as 287 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.960 fully as they should be. But no campaign is perfect. 288 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.720 I'm confident they'll write that ship. But they have got 289 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.240 to be spending one hundred million dollars in August educating 290 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.840 people on who Kamala Harris really is politically and just 291 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.960 using video of her in her own words in fair 292 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.080 context on this wide range of issues. And they have 293 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.840 to be saturating America in August before that Democrat convention. 294 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.799 They can't give her any more time to falsely define, 295 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.759 falsely redefine herself. So yeah, it'd be a big mistake 296 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.759 to debate. Got to be pounding her with honest ads 297 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.080 in August and then to have the debate in September 298 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.720 eighty five zero five eight two five five the number. 299 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.200 Let me get back to that sound, which is the 300 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.559 sound that's making all of the headlines today, because I 301 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.000 want to get your reaction to this as well. 302 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.320 I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, 303 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.879 and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was 304 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.320 only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black 305 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.000 until a number of years ago when she happened to 306 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.559 turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. 307 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.279 So I don't know is she Indian or is she black? 308 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.600 She is always I know the college. 309 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.080 I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she 310 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.919 was Indian all the way and then all of a 311 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.000 sudden she made a turn and she went she became 312 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:43.519 a black. 313 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.039 Just to be clear, sir, do I think. 314 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.440 Nobody should look into that too? When you ask a 315 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.000 continue in a very hostile, nasty tone. 316 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.919 Yeah, So I want to get your reaction to that. 317 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.399 Right or wrong? You know my take. I think it 318 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.720 was wrong and he should not go there. How do 319 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.320 you think it's going to play? That may be a 320 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.919 different issue one way or the other. I don't think 321 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.119 you should have done. A text says agree with you 322 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.599 on the Indian black part, and he lost a little 323 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.160 black support from that appearance. But then then another text 324 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.240 goes on to say, but wait a second, she's half this, 325 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.200 half that. Wait a second, None of that matters. It's 326 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.160 about appearance. You know her father was Jamaica. It is 327 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.839 not a lie for her to define as black. And 328 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.279 you know, there are plenty of people who view her 329 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.079 and based on appearance, believe she's black. And so, just 330 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.759 like Barack Obama, it didn't matter that you know, he 331 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.960 had a white grandmother. Whatever. You know, what was it 332 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.640 with Barack Obama? I can't even remember because it doesn't matter. 333 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.559 It doesn't matter because he appeared black. And when somebody 334 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.640 appears black, it's perfectly appropriate for them to say they're 335 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.599 black because they're living that black experience in America. Whatever 336 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.880 you may think that black experience is or is not, 337 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.880 they are. So I just think it is the attack 338 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.680 is wrong, and he should drop that stuff right now. 339 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.680 Real quick. I think he got agitated. You heard it 340 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.960 at the end, and maybe that got the better of him. 341 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.480 I think there was some anger in him there and 342 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.680 he let it get the better of him. 343 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.319 Yeah, so I want to come back, get your taken 344 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.200 all that we'll continue to play some more of the sound. Again. 345 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.279 I admire him walking into an environment where he's going 346 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.400 to be questioned by a lefty showing strength and courage there. 347 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.200 But do you think these remarks were wrong? You're on 348 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.079 the Dan Kepler Show. 349 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.480 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 350 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.640 If there's ever been one song that you couldn't play 351 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.599 any bumper music over, that was that? I mean Wells 352 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.759 that supposed to bump back with there No, and if 353 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.000 you just joined us, what's going on? Is President Trump today? 354 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.519 And I admire him for it. Very courageously decided to 355 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.680 appear at a convention of black journalist and he uh 356 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.240 And the reason I say courageous is simply because of 357 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.160 the politics. He knew that he would be interviewed, slash 358 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.519 grilled by someone who has different politics, somebody on the left, 359 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.880 even the far left, and regardless of skin color of 360 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.640 the inquisitor, he's always been willing to do that, which 361 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.039 is one reason he's won and succeeded is because he 362 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.599 shows that strength and courage and contrasts that with Kamala Harris, right, 363 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.240 who's running a basement type campaign and that she's not 364 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.880 going to sit down with a serious journalist to be questioned. 365 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.440 She would never go into a politically hostile environment and 366 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.160 subject herself to questioning. So I respect him for being 367 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.839 willing to go. I respect him for being willing to 368 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.359 show that respect to black journalists in America and subjecting 369 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.839 himself to tough questions. Respect all of that, and I 370 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:46.880 think he handled the incredibly aggressive and I think kind 371 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.359 of vicious approach to the start of the interview, which 372 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.880 will replay again. I think he handled that very well 373 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.880 under the circumstances. I just don't like the fact that 374 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.119 he got off on this Kamala Harris, what did he say? 375 00:19:59.160 --> 00:19:59.359 Ryan? 376 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.839 And to turn black stuff that's nonsense. Don't go it's 377 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.119 not true. Don't go there. But nobody's perfect and the 378 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.119 Great has always, in my view, outweighed the bad with 379 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.039 President Trump, and it continues to. But all I'm saying is, 380 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.559 just don't make this part of the campaign. I wish 381 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.039 he hadn't done that part today other parts of it again. 382 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.160 I think that clearly the contrast being drawn in this 383 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.279 campaign is strength versus weakness. And while I think what 384 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.720 he did was wrong and he should not do it again, 385 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.720 how it plays politically in the end. I'm not saying 386 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.480 it's going to hurt him politically. I think the appearance 387 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.880 today feeds into and I'm not talking about those comments, 388 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.119 but the appearance with the left leaning group feeds into 389 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.079 the perception of strength, which is in fact real and 390 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.160 it's not just the amazing courage and strength and poise 391 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:53.640 he showed during the assassination attempt, but historically so politically, 392 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.960 we'll see how it plays out. I just think those 393 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.000 comments about black were wrong and just shouldn't be part 394 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.960 of the campaign. Hey Gary Denver, you're on the Dan 395 00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.720 Kaplis show. 396 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:09.400 Welcome you say, Gary, Yes, sir, Hey Dan, I'm I'm 397 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:15.160 a white guy. I've got a half black daughter. And 398 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.200 the reason I called is every time census comes up, 399 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.200 I put others. And I had this conversation with her 400 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.440 mother back the first time the census came up, and 401 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.759
