But unfortunately, now under orders from the White House and facing the full force of retaliation if we do not comply, we must start every show with the Venezuela national anthem. I don't

She did, and I mean that's bold, just it's so bold that CNN is even hitting her on it, like.

What is that about, Dan, what's happening there?

Yes, well, let's talk about a bigger picture. Eight five five forour zero five eight two five five TEXTDA and five seven seven three nine. To Heidi's point, will play you some absolutely wonderful sound off CNN quoting a Washington Post economic analyst to the fact that this is madness, this is venezuela, This doesn't work, And that's on CNN. But let's put it in a broader context. Tidy, you told me something fascinating during the break about this big

Well?

On Twitter, people are pointing out that she had one hundred and nine people showed up in North Carolina today.

That includes press and staff.

Wow, that includes them.

Wow.

Think about that. And so that's where I plug this into a bigger picture, which is, Hey, so many reasons to believe fresh reasons to believe Trump's gonna win. But we should, I think, Heidi, we should sit here today at five oh eight mountain time, on this beautiful Friday afternoon and be so grateful, so grateful to Joe Biden for forcing Kamala Harrison them. Remember Barack and Michelle Obama, they came out and said it publicly, we're going to

Well, I couldn't be happier to see Barack and Michelle Obama frustrated.

That makes me very happy. But I agree.

I mean, we could have been up against some formidable people, including Joshapiro, Gretcham Whitmer. I just that is a reason to be grateful.

Imagine, imagine if she had gotten off to a week start, right, which is entirely possible if it wasn't for the complete submission of the media and the protection of her et cetera. She hasn't been able to do an interview since she was installed. Right, Let's say she'd gotten off to a shaky start. Well, that's all we'd be talking about right now, is Whitmer Shapiro or Shapiro Whitmer, because that would be the ticket next week. Now they're stuck with her at

And Dan, I think back to when we talked a couple weeks ago about Pennsylvania, and if Trump wins Pennsylvania, there's a ninety six percent chance he wins the presidency. I would suggest everybody across the country get on the Turning Point Action app and start contacting voters in Pennsylvania until telling them to show up.

I mean, it is go time, and we've got to focus.

I think we can all adopt Pennsylvania and make it happen. Yeah.

I was looking at my trial calendar the other day trying to figure out, Okay, can I get to a key swing state, spend a week there, you know, do the show from there? Is the better approach to give some money this, But yeah, if everybody just does whatever they can do. But other reasons to be so optimistic for Trump right now, right is Okay, they're stuck with

I don't know. It makes me very nervous.

And they are even starting to hit Kamala like they did it after her press conference today, like, oh, this might be a problem if we put cause controls in. I don't know that that's a great idea, So, yeah, don't I don't like that.

It makes me.

Uneasy, uneasy that they may switch out walls.

Yeah or Kamala. Who knows? Why are they hitting Kamala too?

Yeah? Right, I think it's too late to switch her out. That's a great question. Let's try to get that answered. But walls. I think it's pretty clear right now they want to switch walls out. They being in the media, right the cabal just got their way with deposing Biden.

Why?

Well, first of all, nobody can explain what price gouging means. It's like that old line about pornography. I know it when I see it, in the sense that what does it mean to have an excessive price or an excessive profit margin that seems to be shorthand for a price or a profit margin that bugs me, that seems too high. So you know, it's very hard to pin down what this would actually mean.

And this is on CNN with the Washington Post reporter.

Great way to help of collute, which normally we don't want them.

Okay, that's not the bite Day was after, but maybe this.

One will be a great way to help of collute.

All right. Anyway, what she said was, hey, It didn't work in Venezuela, it didn't work in Argentina, it didn't work in the Soviet Union. And this is a Washington Post reporter on CNN, So why.

Maybe they're trying to signal to her that she's going a little too.

Don't talk about it. You can do it, just don't talk about it.

Yeah, let's go to will in beautiful Publo, Colorado, listening on the Great CACSJ. I assume you're on the Dan Kapla show with how do you gnall? Welcome?

Hey?

How you doing Dan living? Heidi? I got to say that you listening to you guys for years. This is the third time in as many months I've called. I think I'm becoming a serial color I'm not really sure, but I just wanted to say, Heidi, I voted for you. I was so disappointed due didn't get in. You needed to be in office.

Oh thank you all that. Yeah.

The reason I called is because I had the perfect solution. I've never heard anybody talk about as far as all the immigration problems we're having here, and that is why don't we take a playbook out of the Russian manual In the whole Ukraine thing? Sharpe. Our military go there in vade Mexico, make it part of the United States, and they can just stay there and they're in the United States. Of course, there's a lot of cleaning us we'd have to do, but that's.

An interesting solution.

We like people taking it outside the box, outside the box factory. Hey, well, appreciate the call and your good sense of humor. Thank you, my friend, Texter. And this was on my list for the five freshest reasons to believe Trump will win, but Texter gets the credit. Dan, The best news I've heard today is that Tulsi Gabbard is going to prep Donald Trump for his debate.

I love that.

Oh, at some point, Ryan, we got to find that clip of Tulsi going after Kamala and knocking her out of the presidential race. Tulsi is like kind of quiet and thoughtful.

And deadly when she wants to be. And I know she has a very bright future in politics.

I really have a lot of respect for I've gotten to meet her a couple of times, but I can't wait to see her impact on the debate.

You know what, that's the best news I've heard. Today's second best news. The first best news was Kamala going full Yugo Chaves. The second best news is this, what's she going to help Trump with prepping for the debate. It's prepping for the debate. He's got so many great accomplishments, he's got so much AMMO against her. Just prep for

Well, and here's the thing with the debates, like this happened in the governor's race. I knew I was up against the media and they weren't going to cover a lot. But they hadn't to cover the debate. So we debate like we prepped like crazy. And I think that's Donald Trump's opportunity too. They can't take him off air during that debate. People get to watch it. They can't filter it.

Right, No, And you know the key is if you haven't seen a coup, back watch the video. Heidi just demolished Polis in every debate, you really did. And a lot of that's your God given skill. A lot of it is you're right on the issues. But the preparation matters. It matters so much. So I am thrilled to hear that President Trump as anybody coming into helping prep. But Tulsea Gabbert Cherry on top there eight five to five for zer five A two five five the number textda

And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

Brian, I hate to break it to you, but we have like this billion dollar building and studio and we have it. No, no, it won't help. We've got a twenty cent computer system in here. I reset it during the break. So what I was going to play was sound of a Washington Post economic analyst on CNN today ripping Kamala Harris's economic plan, saying, hey, this price control stuff. It's been tried in Venezuela, Argentina the old Soviet Union,

To pass the first ever federal man on price gauging on food.

It was worth it. You were right, Ryan, You're welcome. I mean, come on, that's the centerpiece. So we all make mistakes, right, we can all do this in that But when you're hiding from the press for the entire period of your installation and then you call it price gauging, hopefully that's a sign of things things to come in the debate? How do you ganawl with us? So I've got all these reasons to be optimistic. What are yours?

I'm optimistic because I think I think that Americans have been educated on what's happening right in front of their eyes. They're waking up what I'm here on the ground, or people that normally aren't involved in politics asking me questions even in the hairdresser chair at the grocery store because they know I'm in politics, so they're like, hey, I haven't really been involved in politics before, but I'm not feeling good about things right now, and that gives me

How much of that is how heroically Trump handled the assassination attempt.

I think that's a big part of it. But I also think it's people's pocketbooks. I was telling you on the break that the average affordable, like the average amount you have to make an income a year to afford the average house in America fifty three thousand dollars twenty four twenty twenty four, one hundred and twenty one thousand.

So that's just mind blowing, totally mind blowing.

That would be a reason to like Trump.

Yeah, oh, my goodness. Yes, and how about you know, Hey, the world was relatively at peace when he was there, and it's on fire now, so all of that. Yeah, there are so many reasons that I'm optimistic. But fresh ones today, because if people have been listening, they've heard the ones each and every day now for weeks. But fresh ones today. Hey, how about the fact that you said she had one hundred and nine people at are big economic speech today?

Oh?

Dan, that's not the first one on my list, but it's one of them.

The crowds are all fake.

I mean you see them advertising for people to ai fake right, I mean no, no, no, I mean falsely false enthusiasm or manufactured enthusiasm.

And I think it's I think it's broad but shallow. I think it's more of a sugar high kind of thing because it come on once they get down the stretch here, right, once they get down the stretch and they start playing this sound over and over again. How many of these young people now are so excited about her when they hear this sound, will be as excited.

And it's a specific phase of life. Remember, age is more than a chronological fact. What else do we know about this population eighteenth through twenty.

Four They are stupid.

That is why we put them in dormitories and they have a resident assistant. They make really bad decisions.

I mean, you play that over and over and over again. I mean, we have so many of those, right. But Hey, one of the reasons I'm real optimistic is as we sit here today, with the DEM Convention starting relatively in a few hours, they are stuck with Kamala Harris. Right, So all of this protection and coddling of her for a month or so, right, didn't no interviews know anything else?

And I think they're stuck with Walltz pretty much at this point.

I think, so I do, I do, especially she started interrupt, but I know you have to leave. Tell me about why then, have we seen these major negative stories on him with multiple lefty outlets in the last twenty four hours. Don't you think it's a last ditch attempt to run him out.

It might be, but I don't think she's going to bite.

She is so stubborn and doesn't want to be known as someone who caves or is controlled by the media or Obama, and so I think it's her.

I think she is not going to let that happen. Thanks to her to Montrol in some capacity, I don't.

I think the people who deposed Biden democratically elected Biden as the nominee and the sitting president, I think they have the power to depose her as well. I'm not saying they will, right right. I mean the donors could turn it off in an instant, Yeah, they.

Could, but it would be messy, messy, messy mess.

Why if the media is totally protect I understand it would hurt among the voters. But if the media is totally protecting her, it seems to me that limits the damage to the point where it's far less harm than you're gonna get if Wall stays on the ticket.

I agreed.

Like back to those Pennsylvania stats, I don't understand why the powers that be didn't force her to take on Shapiro.

Yeah, at that point, I think we come back to not that she's anti Semitic, but some really strong anti semitism within certain segments of the Democratic Party.

Yeah.

I mean, let's face it that that cancer is there, that poison is there.

Dan. Did you see Fetterman, the senator's reaction to Shapiro, He would even get up and stand up for him.

Yeah, there's something there.

Yeah, there is something there. Wow. So, as we sit here right now, and I know you're heading off for family stuff, election day, who wins and what's the spread?

Oh?

I am going to call it a Trump win. But it's tight. It's so tight, not as tight as it was in twenty twenty for Biden.

I would suggest maybe two hundred thousand votes in the swing cities.

Yeah, and you've got to assume that, right. And it's one of the many reasons this is going to turn out to be a blessing because think about this, Before they deposed Biden, before Trump knocked him out in that debate, there was all this concern about overconfidence, and it was legitimate concern. There's no concern about that now. It's going to be too much of a sprint to the finish. But because it's Kamala Harris, and because of Trump's accomplishments.

You're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast.

You've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, et cetera.

Boy, think about it. That's a Washington Post reporter on CNN responding to Kamala Harris's new economic package, comparing it to Venezuela, Argentina. The USS are Wow. I think she has jumped the shark. I think she's had a very bad few days. And what a way to head into her convention. So we'll come back, we'll talk about that. We'll continue to take calls just spontaneously erupting. I love it from callers obviously, as well as textures to DN five seven seven thirty nine on a rear miss by Trump.

Yeah, hey Dad, it's a pleasure to be back on your show. Look, I mean it's there's no doubt in my mind that, you know, Congress wan Low and Bobert is going to win the race in November. I mean just remember it was Richard Calvaries. She lost the debate to a vacant chair. So if she can't win a debate on a vacant chair, how does she plan to beat you know, Congress run Low and Bobert in the CD four.

I missed that one.

My friend, where was the vacant chaired debate? Those tend to be fun.

Yeah, you know what, there was a debate in Well County, you know, and I was not there, but they had a chair with my name on it. They did a straw Paul and I ended up winning.

That's kind of tough. Like every now and then you hear the poor kid who runs for a student body president unopposed and loses and you just your heart breaks for.

Yeah. So I mean, you know, look right now, uh, Lauren's running a strong campaign. You know, I've been out in the district. People are excited about what's going to happen in November, not only here in Colorado, uh in CD four, but also what's going to happen in our at our nation when it comes to the presidential election. So you know there's a lot going on as you know, Uh, I really I heard you say. You know, President Trump has maybe struggled a little bit and identifying Kamala Harris.

You get positive illusions that.

She's trying to get people to buy. We all know that people are struggling buying groceries, so they're not going to buy, you know what she's trying to sell.

Well, I've just want you're helping figuring out what price gauging is. It must be a technical term. I'm not familiar with. Listening, Greg and I will work.

To pass the first ever federal man on price gauging.

On food price gauging. Can you help me with that?

What is that?

Yeah, well, look.

Price I know about price gouging, but price gauging. All I'm saying is, listen, we all misspeak here and there. But when you're hiding from interviews from the friendly press since you were installed as the nominee, and then this is the centerpiece of the plan you're announcing and you can't get the word right, it does raise some questions.

It really does. Look I mean, you know, it's kind of like that old saying, Right, meet the new boss, same as the old boss. So meet the new candidate, same as the old candidate. You know, nothing is changing. You know, the policies are the same. Their inability to really connect and communicate clearly into what their policies are. You know, she's trying to find those words that she

He wasn't around for that quality of life.

Yeah, she was right there, she was in the room.

Tell me about this one. I saw this today and I wondered, is she cutting an ad for Trump? Here?

A lot a loaf of bread cost fifty percent more today than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost fifty percent.

I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message.

You can see that one coming. See Greg, when you and I raally quibble with you, but I'll quib on this one. When you say, hey, same deal, same message, I respectfully disagree. I think that that Biden was able to pull the con with enough people that he was somehow, you know, some kind of moderate. With Kamala Harris, she's gone full throated ism, whether you want to call it Marxism, communism, socialism, whatever.

No way, not at all. But you're absolutely Craig. Now when you listen to her right, and I'm going to tell you, I've been out in the Hispanic community talking to a lot of Democrats and they're telling me we're ready for a change. I mean, they're no longer trying to hold on to that Democrat label because they recognize that, you know, their quality of life has been diminished severely,

Well, this is like the Hara said, I wonder if you can do a kind of a mock Hara sad vote for what you ran from, right. I mean, that's what she's asking them to do when she comes out with this this purely Marxist stuff. Yeah, true, Yeah, it's so I think she made Waltz I think the biggest political mistake in our lifetime. I think this is the second biggest one, just to come out and favor price fixing and stuff like that, when you've even got CNN

But you know what what we need to do is take the high road, talk to people, talk to our neighbors, and just ask them that basic question, is your quality of life better today than it was three years ago? And if you have the same type of attitude or even further to the left, more progressive, do you think it's going to get better or do you think it's going to get worse. I think you and I both know their answer is going to be. You know what, I don't see it getting any better anytime soon. And

You know, if God gave me an opportunity to talk to each and every voter before they filled out their ballot, I would ask them one question, do you want peace or do you want war? That's the one question, because you can't get a bigger contrast, right, And they've proven it. Trump in office peace, Harrison, Biden in office war. I think warr in peace, pretty people do right? Yeah? Yeah, congressman here clear right, yeah. And it's been proven. It's

You bet you you take care you as well?

That is Greg Lopez kind enough to join us. Let me come back. We'll go to our fiery lines. People still wanting that perfect label for Kamala Harrison talking about other things as well. Right now, I think Kamala Marx appears to be the leader in the clubhouse text blowing up. Also, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.

And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

Which lyric, which lyric did I step on this stand?

Is the one that Greg Lopez mentioned the new Boss team as the old bus.

Very thoughtful, very thoughtful. Yeah. Now, I was just suggesting that Kamala Harris's message is so far left to where Joe Biden's was. If Biden had run, if Biden had run in twenty as far left as he governed, you would have lost by a bunch, That's all I'm saying. And that's Biden, you know who could pull off the a lunch pail Joe kind of con Kamala Harris, who can never run from the fact she's a San Francisco radical and now just openly is them right openly you know,

Welcome Carol, Sorry about that. How about how about bait and switch Kamala, or how about Hide and Harris.

Heide and Harris. Okay, that's a good one, Carol, t Harris Heiden, Harris, Gary and Longmont. You're on the dan CAPLA Shore. Welcome, Hi, Dan.

I got a winning idea for Donald Trump on immigration, and what he does is.

He liberalizes it massively, but you have.

To apply for citizenship in the United States in your home country, and you have to show residents in your home country for at least one year, and so that would encourage everybody to go back.

And if you if you're deported, then you have like a five year or ten year delay on that. And then so he really turns up the dials in those countries. Yeah, when they see people starting to get citizenship in their home country, they'll go back.

Yeah, Gary, appreciate the calls, thank you. Yeah, I'm starting to see a lot come down on this major victory in the US Supreme Court blocking the Biden Harris effort to change Title nine. One commentator saying, hey, this changehould four schools to allow men to shower with women, men to take academic and athletic scholarships from women, men to be housed in women's dorms, teachers compelled to use preferred pronouns. And the US Supreme Court, though, coming out today and

That, that.

Do not set that barlow. Prepare for her to be great, Prepare for her very best. But if Trump's just preparing in a traditional way for the debate, yeah, very good things will happen. Thank you, Ryan for your great work today and throughout this amazing week. Kelly, You're the best human sunshine each and every day. But as amazing as this week has been, it's nothing like next week's going to be. I mean, this is going to be the
