Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. This is going
Speaker 1: to be the craziest, absolutely most insane stretch run any
Speaker 1: political campaign we have ever seen in American history. So
Speaker 1: buckle u up eight five to five for zero five
Speaker 1: eight two five five. The number text d an five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine. So I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: heard about it. You had maybe a snippet or two
Speaker 1: here there on the news, but you have to hear
Speaker 1: the sound more long form. And that is President Trump today.
Speaker 1: And you know it was deliberate President Trump, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's very courageous about being willing to interview with anybody,
Speaker 1: you know, on the major network, folks who obviously are
Speaker 1: our extension of the Democratic Party. And today it was
Speaker 1: a convention of national Black Journalists. And so President Trump smart,
Speaker 1: he knew that, you know, he'd be facing some difficult questions,
Speaker 1: and I respect him for deciding to go. And believe me,
Speaker 1: I understand the political experts who are saying, did it
Speaker 1: really make sense for him to go into an environment
Speaker 1: nothing to do with race, just having to do with politics,
Speaker 1: an environment where he was likely to be grilled that hard.
Speaker 1: But I think yes, because I think part of the
Speaker 1: appeal and the greatness of President Trump is the fact
Speaker 1: that he is courageous and he will take on questions
Speaker 1: from those who disagree with him politically, and so again,
Speaker 1: nothing to do with race or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just has to do with politics, and he he
Speaker 1: is willing, he is willing to stand up and have
Speaker 1: that discussion. While Kamala Harris is clearly running a basement campaign.
Speaker 1: She's in hiding. I don't think she's done. Maybe I've
Speaker 1: missed it. I don't think she's done a single interview
Speaker 1: with any kind of challenging journalist. Certainly hasn't had a
Speaker 1: press conference. I'm talking about since you know the coup,
Speaker 1: the political coup that deposed the duly elected Democrat nominee
Speaker 1: and then she was chosen by the bosses. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: she's running kind of a basement campaign. She won't do
Speaker 1: an interest sit down interview with a friendly journalist, and
Speaker 1: Trump has the courage to go out and talk to
Speaker 1: left leaning journalists all the time, so I get him
Speaker 1: going there. But then the headlines that are being made
Speaker 1: right now is when President Trump questioned whether Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is black, and so I want to play that sound
Speaker 1: for you and get your reaction to it. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right up front, Hey, I don't like it. I
Speaker 1: don't think he should be doing that. I don't think
Speaker 1: he should go there. I think that he wins on
Speaker 1: his great accomplishments. I think he wins on the key
Speaker 1: points about her radicalism. I don't know that you have
Speaker 1: to say much more of the rest of the campaign
Speaker 1: other than San Francisco radical. America just doesn't want to
Speaker 1: elect to San Francisco radical. So I don't think he
Speaker 1: or the campaign should be question whether she's black. Listen,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harrison, my constitutionally protected opinion lies all the time,
Speaker 1: all the time. But she's not lying about this. She
Speaker 1: is black, So why attack her on one of the
Speaker 1: few things she's telling the truth about. I just don't
Speaker 1: get that. And I also just don't like that whole
Speaker 1: line of attack. He has so much to work with,
Speaker 1: starting with his own great accomplishments, and then go to
Speaker 1: all of her lies and all of her radical positions
Speaker 1: which fall into so many different categories. So I wish
Speaker 1: he hadn't done it. I wish he hadn't gone there.
Speaker 1: I know there will be, you know, folks who call
Speaker 1: the show and disagree with me, and I respect that
Speaker 1: and look forward to the conversation. But this is where
Speaker 1: it all started. Is I understand the format. Trump wasn't
Speaker 1: invited to just like stand up and give a speech.
Speaker 1: It was he was going to sit down and he
Speaker 1: was going to be grilled by somebody with opposite political
Speaker 1: leanings in this case turned out to be ABC reporter
Speaker 1: Rachel Scott. So here's how it starts. I want to start.
Speaker 2: By addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot
Speaker 2: of people did not think it was appropriate for you
Speaker 2: to be here today. You have pushed false claims about
Speaker 2: some of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to former President
Speaker 2: Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the
Speaker 2: United States, which is not true. You have told four
Speaker 2: congressmen women of color who were American citizens to go
Speaker 2: back to where they came from. You have used words
Speaker 2: like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've
Speaker 2: attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions
Speaker 2: that they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've had
Speaker 2: dinner with a white supremacists at your Marologu resort. So
Speaker 2: my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters
Speaker 2: to vote for you, why should black voters trust you
Speaker 2: after you have used language like that.
Speaker 1: Now, obviously the person interviewing Trump has no interest in
Speaker 1: being fair. I don't think accuracy is their priority. But
Speaker 1: President Trump knew that going in. Here's how we respond.
Speaker 3: Well, First of all, I don't think I've ever been
Speaker 3: asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 1: A first question you.
Speaker 3: Don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC?
Speaker 3: Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
Speaker 3: And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in
Speaker 3: good spirit. I love the black population of this country.
Speaker 3: I've done so much for the black population of this country,
Speaker 3: including employment, including Opportunity Zones with Senator Tim Scott of
Speaker 3: South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever
Speaker 3: for black workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much.
Speaker 3: And you know, and I say this, Historically, black colleges
Speaker 3: and universities were out of money. They were stone call broke,
Speaker 3: and I saved them and I gave them long term
Speaker 3: financing and nobody else was doing it.
Speaker 1: And then the back and forth continues, and this is
Speaker 1: all today.
Speaker 3: I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know
Speaker 3: exactly why you would do something like that. And let
Speaker 3: me go a step further. I was invited here, and
Speaker 3: I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala,
Speaker 3: I was told my opponent was going to be here.
Speaker 3: It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me
Speaker 3: under false pretense, and then you said you can't do
Speaker 3: it with zoom.
Speaker 1: Well you know where's zoom.
Speaker 3: She's going to do it with zoom, and she's not coming,
Speaker 3: And then you are half an hourl A. Just so
Speaker 3: we understand, I have too much respect for you to
Speaker 3: be late. They couldn't get their equipment working or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and boy, can't wait to get your reaction to this.
Speaker 1: Eight five five four zero five eight two five five.
Speaker 1: Listen the way she came out at him. I have
Speaker 1: no problem with him being firm and strong in return,
Speaker 1: no problem with that whatsoever. You know my concern is
Speaker 1: with President in Trump, then Saint Kamala Harris isn't black,
Speaker 1: or to be more precise, get it in his own words, mister,
Speaker 1: I would think it's very nasty question. Wow, I have
Speaker 1: answered the question.
Speaker 3: I have been the best president for the black population
Speaker 3: since Abraham Lincoln, better.
Speaker 2: Than President Johnson. I'm the building right back.
Speaker 3: You to start off a question and answer period, especially
Speaker 3: when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't get
Speaker 3: your equipment to work in such a hostile manner, I
Speaker 3: think it's a disgrace.
Speaker 4: I really do.
Speaker 2: Let me just ask a follow up, sir, and then
Speaker 2: we'll move on to other questions.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: You see, I like his show of strength, and if
Speaker 1: you're watching the visual, he kept his composure. You know
Speaker 1: when she was sitting there trying to humiliate him, et cetera.
Speaker 1: He kept his composure. He came back in a in
Speaker 1: a firm and strong way that I don't think crossed
Speaker 1: the line. And we're coming up on a break, so
Speaker 1: we'll get it to you after the break. But when
Speaker 1: he then gets into the question of whether Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is black again, that's for the reasons I stated earlier,
Speaker 1: that's a place I don't think he should go, and
Speaker 1: it's a place that could be very harmful politically as well.
Speaker 1: But first and foremost, I just don't think you should
Speaker 1: go there. And the starting point is she is black.
Speaker 1: She is black, and it's one of she lies about
Speaker 1: so much, but she's telling the truth about that eight
Speaker 1: fy five for zero five eight two five five numbers,
Speaker 1: So you can tell, I mean the wreck. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine the rest of this campaign? Well, let's call it August,
Speaker 1: right because it's still technically July. Let's call it August.
Speaker 1: We've still got all of August, September, and October. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine what is to come? But I want to
Speaker 1: get your reaction to that. And also you've got the
Speaker 1: VP out there taunting Trump about refusing to debate right now.
Speaker 1: He's not refusing to debate, but of course she misrepresents that,
Speaker 1: but taunting Trump wants to debate right now? Do you
Speaker 1: think he should take her up on that? Eight five
Speaker 1: for two five five. Mike Kaufman, the Mayor of Aurora,
Speaker 1: with US at five thirty six as we follow up
Speaker 1: on that really disturbing, really disturbing, large scale event in
Speaker 1: Aurora on Sunday, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 3: I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much,
Speaker 3: and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was
Speaker 3: only promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 1: I didn't know she was.
Speaker 3: Black until a number of years ago when she happened
Speaker 3: to turn black. And now she wants to be known
Speaker 3: as black. So I don't know is she Indian or
Speaker 3: is she black?
Speaker 2: She is always.
Speaker 3: See I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because
Speaker 3: she was Indian all the way and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden she made a turn and she went she
Speaker 3: became a black.
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, thirty.
Speaker 3: I think nobody should look into that too when you
Speaker 3: ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty.
Speaker 1: John four twenty one. Oh man, it is going to be.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how wild it's going to be down
Speaker 1: the stretch if you just joined us. That was today
Speaker 1: and President Trump, to his credit, I admire the way
Speaker 1: he will go and be interviewed by, you know, people
Speaker 1: on the left. And this was another example today happened
Speaker 1: to be at National Black Journalist, but regardless of colories,
Speaker 1: he puts himself up to be interviewed by the left
Speaker 1: all the time, while Kamala Harris hides. She hides from interviews,
Speaker 1: she hides from press conferences for good reason. You know,
Speaker 1: she doesn't have and in terms of the substance, what
Speaker 1: President Trump has. And that's one of the many reasons
Speaker 1: I don't like him going down this road into questioning
Speaker 1: whether she's really black. First of all, she is. Second,
Speaker 1: even if she wasn't it just don't go down this road.
Speaker 1: Talk about the other stuff that matters, not that personal stuff.
Speaker 1: He's got so many accomplishments, and she is a San
Speaker 1: Francisco radical who is so vulnerable on so many different issues.
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to play the sound because it's headline
Speaker 1: stuff and it's fascinating. We'll work in some calls and
Speaker 1: text as well. I'm sorry, Jeff Colorado Springs, no need
Speaker 1: to apologize. You're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome, Hey, Jeff,
Speaker 1: you with us? You okay?
Speaker 5: Think he's in a drive through or something?
Speaker 1: Should we should we call for help? Hopefully you're back
Speaker 1: from jel What was that? Yeah? Oh and the other
Speaker 1: question I threw out there because we've got the VP
Speaker 1: now bating Trump pay he should say it to my face.
Speaker 1: You know what happened to any place, anywhere, anytime I
Speaker 1: want to debate, let's debate right now? Should we debate?
Speaker 1: I have very very very strong feelings on whether he
Speaker 1: should debate her right now, and I'll get to those
Speaker 1: in a second, but I want to give our texters
Speaker 1: and callers first crack, starting with this one. Dan Heck, yes,
Speaker 1: Trump should wait to see whether Kamala becomes the nominee.
Speaker 1: Would you bother going to court until you knew which
Speaker 1: insurance company was arguing and what their argument was. I'm
Speaker 1: only an engineer, but I wouldn't engineering texter. I'm with
Speaker 1: you completely. I'm with you completely. It would be a
Speaker 1: big mistake for him to debate right now for this reason,
Speaker 1: not because she's not going to be the nominee. I mean,
Speaker 1: at this point, you know they are stuck with her
Speaker 1: and Trump and all of us dodged a bullet because
Speaker 1: the Democrats didn't go with stronger candidates they had available.
Speaker 1: And I understand she's on a high right now, and
Speaker 1: she's rising in the polls, and some of these polls
Speaker 1: are being manipulated to make her rise look bigger than
Speaker 1: it is. Others are legit and expectedly, as I predicted
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Once Biden was no longer the nominee, though,
Speaker 1: the race would get tougher for Trump, and it is.
Speaker 1: But the point will come unless more crazy stuff happens.
Speaker 1: The point will come where that sugar high begins to
Speaker 1: wear off and her numbers start to go down, and
Speaker 1: then the Democrats are going to be in gradual panic mode.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be all at once, but those
Speaker 1: numbers start to add backwards and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they're thinking, wait a second, there's nowhere to go
Speaker 1: but down here with her. And so that's the flow
Speaker 1: that under normal circumstances I would expect. Excuse me. So
Speaker 1: the reason that Kamala Harris is pushing so hard and
Speaker 1: it's smart of her. I mean, listen, she would be
Speaker 1: a horrific president on policy and in so many ways,
Speaker 1: but her group, and remember she didn't win a single vote.
Speaker 1: You know, she wasn't elected as nominee. She was chosen.
Speaker 1: She was chosen in a back room deal by donors
Speaker 1: and others. But whoever is behind this political coup, they're
Speaker 1: making a lot of very smart moves and they have
Speaker 1: her campaign off to a fast start. It's full of lies,
Speaker 1: just absolute blatant lies, and they're hiding her with it,
Speaker 1: which is smart. My only point is they're being smart,
Speaker 1: and they're smart by pushing for a debate because they
Speaker 1: need one now, because they know they're smart, They know
Speaker 1: what I said is true. If the sugar high is
Speaker 1: going to wear off and her numbers are going to
Speaker 1: start to move back as people start to learn more
Speaker 1: about who she really is or remember more about who
Speaker 1: she really is politically, she's a San Francisco radical. No
Speaker 1: amount of money that that campaign spends, no amount of
Speaker 1: lies they tell, no amount of media lying for is
Speaker 1: going to change the impression of the American people as
Speaker 1: a whole that has been formed over almost four years.
Speaker 1: They know who she is. So so it would be
Speaker 1: a huge mistake to debate right now, to give her
Speaker 1: that focus and to give her that win. Not that
Speaker 1: she'll beat Trump in a debate, but it would be
Speaker 1: It would be comparative compared to what happened when Biden
Speaker 1: and Trump debated. Kamala Harris will look like the greatest
Speaker 1: debater of all time, even though she'll lose the debate
Speaker 1: to Trump. So he's very very smart not to debate
Speaker 1: her now because what he needs to do. What he
Speaker 1: needs to do is is, first of all, let the
Speaker 1: sugar high start to wear off naturally. But I'm telling
Speaker 1: you this Trump campaign, which has been you know, no
Speaker 1: campaign is perfect, right they they were caught flat footed
Speaker 1: when when Biden was deposed so quickly and Harris became
Speaker 1: the nominee that they missed some opportunities there, didn't get
Speaker 1: on message quickly enough. They're still not on message as
Speaker 1: fully as they should be. But no campaign is perfect.
Speaker 1: I'm confident they'll write that ship. But they have got
Speaker 1: to be spending one hundred million dollars in August educating
Speaker 1: people on who Kamala Harris really is politically and just
Speaker 1: using video of her in her own words in fair
Speaker 1: context on this wide range of issues. And they have
Speaker 1: to be saturating America in August before that Democrat convention.
Speaker 1: They can't give her any more time to falsely define,
Speaker 1: falsely redefine herself. So yeah, it'd be a big mistake
Speaker 1: to debate. Got to be pounding her with honest ads
Speaker 1: in August and then to have the debate in September
Speaker 1: eighty five zero five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 1: Let me get back to that sound, which is the
Speaker 1: sound that's making all of the headlines today, because I
Speaker 1: want to get your reaction to this as well.
Speaker 3: I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much,
Speaker 3: and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was
Speaker 3: only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black
Speaker 3: until a number of years ago when she happened to
Speaker 3: turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.
Speaker 3: So I don't know is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 2: She is always I know the college.
Speaker 3: I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
Speaker 3: was Indian all the way and then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden she made a turn and she went she became
Speaker 3: a black.
Speaker 2: Just to be clear, sir, do I think.
Speaker 3: Nobody should look into that too? When you ask a
Speaker 3: continue in a very hostile, nasty tone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I want to get your reaction to that.
Speaker 1: Right or wrong? You know my take. I think it
Speaker 1: was wrong and he should not go there. How do
Speaker 1: you think it's going to play? That may be a
Speaker 1: different issue one way or the other. I don't think
Speaker 1: you should have done. A text says agree with you
Speaker 1: on the Indian black part, and he lost a little
Speaker 1: black support from that appearance. But then then another text
Speaker 1: goes on to say, but wait a second, she's half this,
Speaker 1: half that. Wait a second, None of that matters. It's
Speaker 1: about appearance. You know her father was Jamaica. It is
Speaker 1: not a lie for her to define as black. And
Speaker 1: you know, there are plenty of people who view her
Speaker 1: and based on appearance, believe she's black. And so, just
Speaker 1: like Barack Obama, it didn't matter that you know, he
Speaker 1: had a white grandmother. Whatever. You know, what was it
Speaker 1: with Barack Obama? I can't even remember because it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because he appeared black. And when somebody
Speaker 1: appears black, it's perfectly appropriate for them to say they're
Speaker 1: black because they're living that black experience in America. Whatever
Speaker 1: you may think that black experience is or is not,
Speaker 1: they are. So I just think it is the attack
Speaker 1: is wrong, and he should drop that stuff right now.
Speaker 5: Real quick. I think he got agitated. You heard it
Speaker 5: at the end, and maybe that got the better of him.
Speaker 5: I think there was some anger in him there and
Speaker 5: he let it get the better of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I want to come back, get your taken
Speaker 1: all that we'll continue to play some more of the sound. Again.
Speaker 1: I admire him walking into an environment where he's going
Speaker 1: to be questioned by a lefty showing strength and courage there.
Speaker 1: But do you think these remarks were wrong? You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: If there's ever been one song that you couldn't play
Speaker 1: any bumper music over, that was that? I mean Wells
Speaker 1: that supposed to bump back with there No, and if
Speaker 1: you just joined us, what's going on? Is President Trump today?
Speaker 1: And I admire him for it. Very courageously decided to
Speaker 1: appear at a convention of black journalist and he uh
Speaker 1: And the reason I say courageous is simply because of
Speaker 1: the politics. He knew that he would be interviewed, slash
Speaker 1: grilled by someone who has different politics, somebody on the left,
Speaker 1: even the far left, and regardless of skin color of
Speaker 1: the inquisitor, he's always been willing to do that, which
Speaker 1: is one reason he's won and succeeded is because he
Speaker 1: shows that strength and courage and contrasts that with Kamala Harris, right,
Speaker 1: who's running a basement type campaign and that she's not
Speaker 1: going to sit down with a serious journalist to be questioned.
Speaker 1: She would never go into a politically hostile environment and
Speaker 1: subject herself to questioning. So I respect him for being
Speaker 1: willing to go. I respect him for being willing to
Speaker 1: show that respect to black journalists in America and subjecting
Speaker 1: himself to tough questions. Respect all of that, and I
Speaker 1: think he handled the incredibly aggressive and I think kind
Speaker 1: of vicious approach to the start of the interview, which
Speaker 1: will replay again. I think he handled that very well
Speaker 1: under the circumstances. I just don't like the fact that
Speaker 1: he got off on this Kamala Harris, what did he say?
Speaker 4: Ryan?
Speaker 1: And to turn black stuff that's nonsense. Don't go it's
Speaker 1: not true. Don't go there. But nobody's perfect and the
Speaker 1: Great has always, in my view, outweighed the bad with
Speaker 1: President Trump, and it continues to. But all I'm saying is,
Speaker 1: just don't make this part of the campaign. I wish
Speaker 1: he hadn't done that part today other parts of it again.
Speaker 1: I think that clearly the contrast being drawn in this
Speaker 1: campaign is strength versus weakness. And while I think what
Speaker 1: he did was wrong and he should not do it again,
Speaker 1: how it plays politically in the end. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's going to hurt him politically. I think the appearance
Speaker 1: today feeds into and I'm not talking about those comments,
Speaker 1: but the appearance with the left leaning group feeds into
Speaker 1: the perception of strength, which is in fact real and
Speaker 1: it's not just the amazing courage and strength and poise
Speaker 1: he showed during the assassination attempt, but historically so politically,
Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out. I just think those
Speaker 1: comments about black were wrong and just shouldn't be part
Speaker 1: of the campaign. Hey Gary Denver, you're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kaplis show.
Speaker 4: Welcome you say, Gary, Yes, sir, Hey Dan, I'm I'm
Speaker 4: a white guy. I've got a half black daughter. And
Speaker 4: the reason I called is every time census comes up,
Speaker 4: I put others. And I had this conversation with her
Speaker 4: mother back the first time the census came up, and
Speaker 4: she said, how do you want to put her? And
Speaker 4: ask what categories? Where I said, put others. She said, well,
Speaker 4: you know people are going to see her as why.
Speaker 4: I said, I don't give a damn what they see
Speaker 4: her as. I said, if you only call her black,
Speaker 4: you take away the part of her that is me.
Speaker 4: It was the same with Barack Obama. I don't care
Speaker 4: if he ran as black as he was mixed. Tamala
Speaker 4: Harris is mixed. Tamala Harris. Also, you said Trump is
Speaker 4: right on the fact she used to portray herself as
Speaker 4: Indian and then when she went to run for president,
Speaker 4: she dropped that changed it.
Speaker 1: Gary, let me let me ask about that. Is that
Speaker 1: factually correct? And if so, can you point me to
Speaker 1: anything that would show us that because my understanding, and listen,
Speaker 1: I haven't studied every biography of hers, but from what
Speaker 1: I've been able to see, she has always identified as black.
Speaker 1: She's of course talked about her Indian heritage, but has
Speaker 1: she in fact represented herself as Indian only in the past,
Speaker 1: because I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was somebody that dug this up just the
Speaker 4: other day. They were looking at it and it was
Speaker 4: still when they went into her bio then it was
Speaker 4: still in there in the bio. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 4: I can't remember.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it. But even if even if
Speaker 1: this was that, First of all, her father was Jamaican,
Speaker 1: So I don't see how it's in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form deceptive for her to identify as black when
Speaker 1: her father was Jamaican. And again I come back to appearances.
Speaker 4: What's acredible or other and throw her mother in the trash.
Speaker 1: No, that's an at the point. The point is, in
Speaker 1: my view, if somebody is, as a matter of fact, black,
Speaker 1: and if they appear black or can appear black, then
Speaker 1: they've they've had that black experience in America. However you
Speaker 1: want to define that they've had that? So how is
Speaker 1: it misleading to identify as black?
Speaker 4: I used to work with a guy, he was a
Speaker 4: black guy. He was pretty racist himself, and he used
Speaker 4: to life, throw it at me, if you've got one
Speaker 4: drop of black blood, you're black. Well, when I did
Speaker 4: my when I did my twenty three and me, kids,
Speaker 4: I'm worth the same African. Does that make me all black? Well?
Speaker 1: I think listen, I think in certainly a political context,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I think it comes back to appearance and
Speaker 1: whether somebody has had that experience that a black person
Speaker 1: in America, a black appearing person in America would have.
Speaker 4: And then again, we understand your money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let me ask you this, because I know
Speaker 1: we're getting circular.
Speaker 4: But my daughter and a lot of times they think
Speaker 4: she's Hispanic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this, Gary, can we agree
Speaker 1: that this shouldn't be part of the campaign. I mean,
Speaker 1: President Trump has.
Speaker 4: So much completely agree with that attacker on her issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and her past record. If they go with that
Speaker 4: only just just lead the personal stuff out, just go
Speaker 4: after her record. Yeah, it's so beatable, it is.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 4: Amen to that of an understatement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Amen to that. Hey, appreciate the call. Thank you, Gary.
Speaker 1: And here's a good example of what Gary and I
Speaker 1: were just talking about. Here's Harris championing that's not even
Speaker 1: a word. And let's say, here is Harris promoting her
Speaker 1: efforts to use taxpayer money to guarantee transgender reassignment surgery
Speaker 1: for every prisoner who wants one.
Speaker 6: When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California
Speaker 6: Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine I
Speaker 6: didn't get to choose my.
Speaker 1: Clients, a client of the Attorney General, a client of.
Speaker 6: The Attorney General of the Office of Attorney General, that
Speaker 6: they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners.
Speaker 6: And there was a specific case. And when I learned
Speaker 6: about the case, I worked behind the scenes to not
Speaker 6: only make sure that that transgender woman got the services
Speaker 6: she was deserving. So it wasn't only about that case.
Speaker 6: I made sure that they changed the policy in the
Speaker 6: state of California so that every transgender inmate in the
Speaker 6: prison system would have access to the medical care that
Speaker 6: they desired and need. And I believe it was not
Speaker 6: only that. I know it was historic in California, but
Speaker 6: I believe actually it may have been one of the first,
Speaker 6: if not the first, in the country where I pushed
Speaker 6: for that policy in a department of.
Speaker 1: Correct My lord, be talking about that all day long,
Speaker 1: not whether she's black or not, what she is she
Speaker 1: is black, be talking about that all day long. If
Speaker 1: every American voter found out that Kamala Harris wants taxpayers
Speaker 1: to pay so that every prisoner who's a man, taxpayers
Speaker 1: have to pay to take off the mailbody parts and
Speaker 1: put on female stuff or vice versa. No, that's the stuff.
Speaker 1: And there are fifty different issues like that. So you
Speaker 1: start with and it's all true, undeniably true, San Francisco radical,
Speaker 1: and then you get into these specifics. Just hammer on
Speaker 1: that every day between now and election day eight five
Speaker 1: five for zero five eight two five to five. The
Speaker 1: number So a lot of different things you want to cover,
Speaker 1: including Okay, so you've got Harris taunting Trump because he
Speaker 1: won't debate right now. He said he will debate after
Speaker 1: the convention, but won't debate right now. Do you think
Speaker 1: he should? So we'll continue to it. Calls that we
Speaker 1: have more sound from his appearance before the Black Journalist
Speaker 1: Convention today, will get deeper into that, and then I
Speaker 1: do want to keep talking about what happened in Aurora
Speaker 1: the other night. Mayor Mike Kaufman will join us at
Speaker 1: five thirty six, you know, to talk about Wait a second,
Speaker 1: three to four thousand reportedly by police Venezuelan and O,
Speaker 1: there's Venezuelan people out taking over a parking lot of
Speaker 1: a shopping center for the Venezuelan election. Results some guns
Speaker 1: being shot into the air, stuff like that. Shoppers a
Speaker 1: lot of them couldn't get in and out or in
Speaker 1: and out easily. What's going on there, And we obviously
Speaker 1: can't have that regardless of the group. Now it could
Speaker 1: be thousands of white people from a country club or whatever,
Speaker 1: but you cannot have that become the new normal in America.
Speaker 1: So any eyewitnesses to that as well as of course
Speaker 1: Mike Kaufman will join us at five thirty six. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: If you just joined us, here is kind of the
Speaker 1: big headline story of the day and I'm dying to
Speaker 1: get your take on it. The first question was was
Speaker 1: the president President Trump right or wrong to do this?
Speaker 1: I think he was wrong. Second question, how will it
Speaker 1: play politically? At this point? I think the jury's still
Speaker 1: out on that. While I think it was clearly wrong
Speaker 1: to do it, politically it may turn out to be
Speaker 1: a positive for him if nothing else. Kind Of changing
Speaker 1: the channel on what's been the topic of discussion right now,
Speaker 1: because clearly the Trump campaign got caught flat footed and
Speaker 1: did not have clear messaging after you know, Biden dropped
Speaker 1: out or was deposed, and Kamala Harris was coronated, and
Speaker 1: you know, no campaign is perfect. They've done a lot
Speaker 1: of things. Well, they botched that one. Okay, they've been
Speaker 1: off balance. I don't think that questioning whether Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is black is right. I don't think they should have
Speaker 1: done it. I believe she is black. I think that's clear.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I don't think
Speaker 1: the campaign's going to be decided on that. Now. Overall,
Speaker 1: I think the campaign may be I'll be decided on
Speaker 1: whether President Trump, who has so many great things to
Speaker 1: talk about, and Harris is so vulnerable for her radicalism.
Speaker 1: If President Trump is disciplined and focuses on those two things,
Speaker 1: then I think he clearly wins. If this is going
Speaker 1: to be wild wild West from now through election day,
Speaker 1: then who the heck knows? Right, Don and fort Collins,
Speaker 1: you're on the dan kaplash.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Sure, well,
Speaker 4: I understand your perspective on this, But given your perspective
Speaker 4: on this, shouldn't have Trump pick Palsy Gabbert, meaning she
Speaker 4: gets to women's vote and she gets the black vote. Now,
Speaker 4: if that's the case, if we're going to vote on
Speaker 4: identity only, I was a new or leaning back in
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight and I was at a warehouse
Speaker 4: picking up a load. I'm a trucker. By the way,
Speaker 4: I got over thirty years two mill wonderful.
Speaker 1: Wow, man, that is awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I've had accidents, but not my fault. Let's
Speaker 4: pick up truck drive under my t anyway, No, I
Speaker 4: tried to save the guy, and I did. Sorry. So
Speaker 4: here listen, I was in New Orleans taking up a
Speaker 4: little and there was two gals working in the warehouse.
Speaker 4: They were talking about the first black president in the
Speaker 4: United States. Yeah, and I looked at both of them,
Speaker 4: dan and I said, but he's half white, and they
Speaker 4: both went silent. They knew they voted on color only
Speaker 4: and not on policy. Don't you think the American people
Speaker 4: are going to vote on policy and not on identity?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I listen. If President Trump focuses this campaign properly,
Speaker 1: his accomplishments, her radicalism, yes, then this election is decided
Speaker 1: on those two categories and he wins. If it just
Speaker 1: gets wild, who the heck knows in terms of identity? Listen,
Speaker 1: I think Barack Obama was a completeletely different dynamic. And
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, for all of his terrible policies, you know,
Speaker 1: but Barack Obama presented as a very serious guy and
Speaker 1: he was a person. He was a person who was.
Speaker 4: Able to conn on Carnival huckster Born. I'm telling that
Speaker 4: guy as smooth as they come. But that's not the
Speaker 4: point we're about mon policy, aren't we.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I mean, listen, realistically, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you know, it goes way beyond policy when
Speaker 1: people vote. I think you'd agree with that, don I mean,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an awful lot of people vote on,
Speaker 1: you know, their comfort level with the candidate. They're going
Speaker 1: to vote on strength versus weakness. You know, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have an awful lot of people, you know, vote for
Speaker 1: against President Trump because of his personality. So I think
Speaker 1: it goes way beyond policy now because she is so radical,
Speaker 1: And that was my point about Obama, my friend, you know,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama was able to pull off the con and
Speaker 1: represent himself as being some sort of moderate. Every Democrat
Speaker 1: who has won the presidency in my lifetime has succeeded
Speaker 1: in pulling off the con that there's some kind of moderate.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris cannot pull that con off. She is a
Speaker 1: San Francisco radical. People know that. So all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is is take the focus.
Speaker 4: On that she's going to play her dusk.
Speaker 1: Listen, you know Kamala Harris is she's not hiding the
Speaker 1: fact that she is out telling the black communities of America.
Speaker 1: I'm black, I understand you vote for me. She's she's
Speaker 1: very open about that, and.
Speaker 4: A woman, she's according to a woman, so that so,
Speaker 4: in other words, is going to be voting quite a
Speaker 4: bit of it. I'm afraid based on identity and not policy.
Speaker 4: And that's the scary part to me. That's what Trump
Speaker 4: couldn't lose based on identity and not based on policy.
Speaker 1: Well anywhere, don appreciate, appreciate the call, my friend. Listen,
Speaker 1: there is no question that if this election is decided
Speaker 1: based on policy, Trump wins going away. There's no question
Speaker 1: about that, you know. And now it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of as crazy as this thing has been already, and
Speaker 1: it's only well almost August first, can you imagine after August,
Speaker 1: September and October where it's going to be at eight
Speaker 1: y five for zero five A two five five text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven three nine. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll do a quick reset and we'll play some extended
Speaker 1: cuts from the president's appearance today before a conventional black journalists.
Speaker 1: And again, I very much respect has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with race. He just knew that he'd be grilled by
Speaker 1: a hard left journalist and that there would be a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the room who have opposite politics
Speaker 1: of his some supporters. But you know, his courage in
Speaker 1: going into a hard left environment, which he has never
Speaker 1: shied away from, I think earns him points. I think
Speaker 1: you're going to have a lot of people who end
Speaker 1: up voting for him. Basically it may not like him
Speaker 1: on this policy or that policy, but simply strength versus weakness.
Speaker 1: And this plays right into his hard earned and accurate,
Speaker 1: you know, brand of strength going into this left leaning
Speaker 1: group today. So credit to him for that. I think
Speaker 1: he handled the very hostile approach to him that started
Speaker 1: this interview today. I think he handled it with poison
Speaker 1: strength where I think he went off the rails was
Speaker 1: questioning whether she's black. And so we'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll play that sound and some of the other clips
Speaker 1: from that. Will also play a clip from a listener
Speaker 1: who sent in a clip that as Kamala Harris talking
Speaker 1: about being Indian, and then we'll play it in full
Speaker 1: context and get your interpretation on that. We have much
Speaker 1: more to talk about, though, including this gathering of three
Speaker 1: to four thousand folks described as Venezuelan in Aurora on
Speaker 1: Sunday night, shots fired into the air, etc. Tied to
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan elections. Mike Kaufman, Mayor of Vera, will join
Speaker 1: us at five point thirty six on the Dan Kaplis
Speaker 1: Shelter
