(00:00):
It's k IF. I am sixforty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.I want to get into this. So
what's happening with the president. He'sgot COVID and he may have some some
plans that very much will affect thetop of ticket race on the Democratic side.
(00:21):
In fact, I'm giving you someof those specifics and I'll flesh out
more in a second. What youknow, This is what happens. I
come in and we start talking aboutsomething, in this case reality shows,
and then Steffush comes in and goes, well, didn't you do didn't you
did one of those shows too?Didn't you you did one of those shows
where people that are, you know, eliminating each other and they're get drunk
(00:43):
and they're yelling stuff at each other. I go, I don't think I
did. And then of course youdid find the show that I did,
which is Paradise Hotel. I justdid the announce on it, but it
was yeah. So he comes inwith it, you did you? You
want to run it? You runit a second? Okay, run a
second of it, and then Iwant to get to this other stuff.
But this is Paradise Hotel, themost exotic, most exclusive resorts in the
(01:07):
world, apparently, where every desireis fulfilled. Oh my god. And
the only rule is pair up orgo home. Oh, a guest is
forced to check out and someone newfrom across America checks ham. Let me
tell you something, anybody. OhI'm loving this show. Yeah, wow,
(01:29):
thank you for finding that reminds meof of good times. The only
rule is hook up or go home. Wow. Such a stigma rule,
like teeth. That's a brutal rule, simple premise. Yeah, there was
absolutely no strategy in that show,aside from the fact that they were drinking
and then talking smack to each otherand then sleeping with each other and then
(01:53):
I mean it was really it wasa hot mess. Yeah, but hot
mess was not the show title thatthey wanted, so they called it Paradise
Hotel. Anyway, good stuff,way to find it. Yeah. So
look, it's even as we aretalking right now, Donald Trump will speak
probably in about an hour at theRepublican National Convention and we'll carry it here
(02:15):
on KFI. And it's a conventionthat's gone very well. I mean they've
shown unity, they've closed ranks behindDonald Trump and This coexists with what's happening
on the Democratic side, which isan embattled candidate. You've got Joe Biden,
who is facing a lot of challenges. Polls are not in his favor,
(02:39):
and he appears enfeebled. You know, he appears weak, and for
that reason, many are saying heis too old. I mean large numbers.
I mean the poles are saying thatthe American electorate feels that he's too
old. By the way, justas an aside, the American electorate also
feels that Trump's too old. Butyou know, you've got two old guys
(03:00):
against each other, and clearly theone who seems older at least, and
based on that debate performance was JoeBiden. So you know, cut to
today and you have in the lastfew days all of these various high profile
Democrats meeting with Joe Biden, speakingwith Joe Biden privately, talking to him
(03:21):
publicly speaking. You've got the Clooneyand major donors like Clooney saying he needs
to step back so he gets COVIDnineteen. Now, what will happen with
Biden? Here is the prediction.And when I say prediction, this is
like an insider's word on what's goingon in the Biden camp from Mark Halperno
(03:47):
used to be a political consultant ABC, then he went to a political consultant
with I believe Showtime that he's atNews Nation now. But he's a some
thing of a Washington insider, whichis why I look to what he's saying
with a little more credibility. Andthen some of the specifics to what she
(04:09):
refers, and I'm going to letyou hear from him, but some of
the specifics really begin to, ithink, speak to the credibility of this
report. So here it is thelatest as to what will likely happen,
or at least may happen with JoeBiden. Carl Courd. To multiple Democratic
sources, this is happening all ofa sudden. Everyone said it would happen
(04:30):
gradually and then all at once,and that's what's happening. According to my
sources, President Biden has agreed tostep down as a Democratic nominee. May
it happen as early as this weekend. A speech has been drafted for him.
He will continue on as president,is his intention. He also will
not, i'm told, endorse VicePresident Harris as his successor they're hoping that
he will endorse an open process inwhich the convention will be open to Vice
(04:55):
President Harris and a few other candidates. In Chicago, de picck the Republic
of their Democrat nomine for president.The belief is that Vice President Harris is
already looking at potential running mates togo to Chicago with a full ticket,
including one possibility, Andy Bashier,the governor of Kentucky, and perhaps the
governor of Pennsylvania, Governor Shapiro.Other possible candidates who are being talked about
(05:15):
include Gavin Newsom, the governor ofCalifornia, perhaps Gretchen Whitmere, and again
the Vice President. Running On thefirst ballot, the regular delegates would be
allowed to vote. Under this agreementthat's being talked about amongst the President and
high level Democrat officials, the regulardelegates would vote on the first ballot.
If there is no winner in thefirst ballot, the so called super delegates
would be allowed to vote on thesubsequent ballot. This decision was reached untold
(05:38):
all of a sudden because of thehigh level pressure from Nancy Pelosi, Barack
Obama, and others, and aswell as the decision of many of the
President of Biden's top aids that therewas no path forward for him, that
he would not be able to winthis election, win the general election,
and therefore he's stepping aside again asearly as this weekend. So Mark,
you know, what are the politicalramifications for a party that based much of
(05:59):
their platform on diversity, equity andinclusion and they're passing right over Kamala Harris.
And he's not going to be endorsingher according to your sources. According
to my sources, he will sayvery nice things about her. They do
not want what some of my sourceshave been calling a Kamala coronation. That
the problem, in part that theyfound themselves in was the President Biden was
not seriously challenged for the nomination.And this is are right, I mean,
(06:21):
this is exactly right. You canplay that diversity equity inclusion thing,
you can play it both ways.Well, it's an open convention, Kamala
Harris is included. I mean,I understand why you're you know, the
idea somehow that he would just bequeathhis delegates to her and endorse her.
(06:46):
That I think would create all kindsof issues within the Democratic Party. I
mean, I understand it's perfectly defensibleto do it this way, I guess,
is my point. I'm told bysome of her people. I don't
know the the vice president thing,but some of her people believe she will
win this, that she'll choose astrong running mate, that she does have
the support of many of the delegateswho are Biden Harris delegates, and that
(07:08):
she can win this basically on herown. And at least one of her
allies said to me, this isbetter better to not be anointed by Joe
Biden, beteter show independence, betterto show with a strong ticket to capacity
to win the nomination on her own. That's a great way to look at
I'll play a little bit more whenwe come back. The year is one
outstanding fact. Now I'll just mentionit quickly. Well, i'll tell it.
(07:30):
I'll mention it when I come back. There's one massive thing that a
new candidate would not have that Harriswould have, and I'll talk about that
and we'll play the rest of thishelper and take when we come back.
But that's big news. If Bidenindeed pulls away before the I know I've
got to take a break. Whatdo you think I'm doing? Oh,
(07:54):
Dean Sharp is next. Okay,hmm, all right, that's what I
wanted to say. I've heard enoughof that. You got the idea.
We'll get to Dean Sharp next.Now we'll catch up with the rest of
it. I will give you acouple of the loose ends as we continue.
Again. We're watching the RNC aswell. Donald Trump will be speaking
(08:16):
tonight and we'll carry that here onKFI. Dean Sharp next. You're listening
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKFI AM six forty. I'm just going
to button out quickly the news outof the Biden camp that Mark Halpern,
who's the longtime pundit now I thinkhe's over It News Nation or one of
(08:39):
those. Anyway, he's reporting andhe is something of a Washington insider.
That's why I mention it. He'sreporting that Biden will drop out, not
endorse Kamala. It'll be an openconvention. The one thing I was just
going to mention is that Kamala wouldhave access to the Biden money. And
it's not an insubstantial amount of money. It's a couple hundred million, and
(09:01):
she alone would have access to thatbecause it was contributed to Biden Harris.
Now that money could be jackhammered out, but you'd need lawyers to do it,
and they'll have lawyers to do it. But I'm just saying it's not
an easy turnkey operation where oh,all the money just goes over to whoever
they choose. No, it doesn'twork that way because people contribute that money
(09:24):
and earmarked it for Biden and Harris. So that's the one thing I did
want to mention, and we cantalk more about it in a bit,
but right now I want to getto the house whisper, you know,
Home with Dean Sharp, heard everySaturday morning six to eight and then Sunday
mornings nine to noon. How aboutit for Dean Sharp? Hi, Dean,
Hey, buddy, how you doing. I'm well, I'm very well.
(09:46):
Hey. You know what, wecan keep talking Biden if you want.
I'm just cool. I'm breezy,you know. Oh. On Thursday
evenings are always great. It's justgreat to be here with you because you
know what, around here, therule is partner up or go home if
you're just joining us. Steffoosh uneartheda voiceover I did for Paradise Hotel,
(10:09):
and the voiceover says there's only onerule, hook up or go home.
It's pretty funny, all right,So listen here, Dean Sharp. Yes,
sir, I have in my noteshere that you talk garages and garage
skins. Talk to me about that. Well, you know, here's the
thing. This is just for you, actually, you and Amy King tomorrow
(10:33):
morning, because this weekend it's anall calls weekend. Oh. I have
actually no idea what the show wasgoing to be about this weekend because the
callers get to decide. But Ithought I would throw some fun stuff at
you. One of the new thingsthat we just found and I got here's
a qualification on this. I havenot tested this out myself, but I'm
intrigued by this big time. There'sa company out there called Garage Skins,
(10:58):
and you know, well, forquite a while now Kroze will know about
this, right because he's a he'sa DIY home improvement guy. For quite
a while now, there's been away to spruce up your garage door by
putting carriage door hardware on it.Right, Like the woods looks like hinges
and handles, and they're just magneticand they click on to a metal garage
(11:20):
door, you know, and itgoes away to juz up an old white
metal garage door and make it looka little classier. Well, this company,
Garage Skins, have taken it toa completely new level. They have
actually created and if you're looking atyour notes, there that image that wooden
garage door, it's not it isan old, ugly white metal garage door.
(11:41):
They've created an entire wood veneer magneticskin. Absolutely brilliant. It completely
transforms a look at this garage.Yeah, so now you know, anybody
who was thinking I can't afford awood garage door or even a brand new
fancy one that looks like wood that'syou know, five six grand, Well
(12:01):
for two thousand dollars. Uh,you can basically re skin that door in
what I'm told is a very veryreliable way. You custom order it to
the size of your garage door,and you literally walk outside with the box
and thirty minutes later, new garagedoor. God, that's wild. I
see a lot of people that alsothat do some similar on the on the
(12:22):
inside of the garage door where theycreate storage and little things that they screw
into the back as well. Absolutelyabsolutely, but this is the first exterior
full garage store skin that I've everseen, and I think it was worth
telling everybody about. The company iscalled Garage Skins. Again, I have
not tested this out myself, butwe're going to be ordering a sample and
(12:43):
checking it out. It's it's it'skind of brand new out there and it
is impressive looking, so we'll seewhere it out. One of they had
been I've been seeing I'm sorry,these these almost one piece almost fabric things
that people were using. I've seenthose like for about a year or two
now, where people were putting onthe front it was and they just strap
it onto the corners of the garagedoor where it doesn't you don't see the
(13:03):
gaps or anything like that, butit's basically just piece of fabric and this
is definitely not that. Yeah,that's like, that's what I like to
call the spandex door and so yeah, and you know they have a look
you know what you do. WhatI like about those fabric stretches is if
you've got a special event happening ora party, you can order some custom
big old image of your best friendfor their birthday and you know, and
(13:26):
that's kind of fun. Run itacross your garage door as a gigantic party
sign, right, but as aas an actual permanent thing on the garage
door, yeah, it doesn't reallyhold up. I like to you talk
about something that it really appeals tome with it, which is inside the
garage, and that is the storagelifts. I mean that is to say,
using the garage space for maximum storageis something of a challenge, Oh
(13:50):
my gosh. And lift systems havebeen around for a while now. There
are several companies out there doing it, but Ox Lift, Aux Dash Lift,
these guys here their newest line ofstuff. It is a game changer
because as you look at that imagethere, that's the whole thing. Mark.
Those two rollers that are mounted rightup against the garage ceiling, those
(14:13):
are the motors that are running theentire show. So it's a zero clearance.
Imagine this. You know you gota garage up in the rafters there
you like to store stuff, Yougot your holiday lights up there or whatever
you keep up in the rafters inthe garage. But you got to get
on the ladder and dig it alldown and all of this. Imagine if
it was all cleanly hanging on theseplatforms that lower by cable winch. Very
(14:37):
very cool, looking and this thingis not small. I mean the large
capacity one is four feet by eightfeet. That's the platform for one that's
a sheet of plywood with a sixhundred pound capacity. And so instead of
climbing up into the garage to getthe stuff that you're storing up above the
cars, all you do is flipa switch and it drops right down to
(14:58):
the garage floor for you to easilyaccess it and send it on back up.
And the same company makes platforms thatfit in hallways, in the in
the contents of a hallway, andyou could recess into your hallway ceiling in
order to store stuff in the attic. That's really terrific. And the ceiling
of the garage will take that kindof weight. Yeah, because you've got
(15:20):
rafters. It's mounting to the wood, it's mounting to the to the structure,
not just into the you know,the drywall. You can't just you
know, toggle it into the drywall, but you go through the drywall into
the rafters, or if there areno rafters at all, you simply you
know, if there's no drywall,I mean, you can simply connect it
to the wood and it's fine.It's fine. Completely rated box lift au
(15:43):
x X Dash Lift what and thegarage skins absolutely brilliant. I mean it's
trans it transforms the garage look.So this weekend you can reach Dean.
You can ask him anything that's right. The House Whisper is on again Saturday
morning six eight or Sunday morning nineto noon. That's terrific open phones and
(16:04):
you're answering questions. I love that, Dean, We love it too.
Thanks Man. Always great talking toyou. Thanks Mark, Okay, my
friend the House Whisper, Dean Sharp. This weekend on KFI, we're watching
the Republican National Convention as they closein on what will likely be I think
a ten o'clock Eastern, so you'reprobably looking at seven or seven point fifteen
(16:26):
to actually get to the former president'sremarks, and we'll carry them here on
KFI. You're listening to Tim ConwayJunior on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim withthe crew here got Lindsay Krozer in
Staffoush and Sharon and Angel watching allthings. If you've missed any of the
(16:51):
show, you can find it onthe iHeartRadio app. We talked to Alex
Michaelson about what's going on at theRNC. We talked about also what's happening
with the Democrats and plans for JoeBiden as he decides on his political future
and various possibilities there. We talkedabout that bizarre case of the high speed
(17:15):
chase where the dude emerges with theinfant and it turns out he was live
streaming the entire thing. This isthe guy who was driving so recklessly and
aggressively. It's inconceivable anyway. Thatentire thing, complete with the audio,
is there on the on the iArt radio app, so check it out.
(17:36):
This possibility that Joe Biden Joe Bidenmay step back again being reported by
that longtime Washington insider and pundit MikeMark Halpern. Here's the tail end of
what he was saying, and it'sintriguing. I don't know if it's the
(18:00):
right move, it's the wrong move, if it's too early, if it's
too late, but this is whathe's saying, this is better better to
not be anointed by Joe Biden,better show independence. Talking about the fact
that Kamala Harris would not get theendorsement and would not be gifted the delegates.
Instead, they would go to anopen convention. That's what's being talked
(18:22):
about. I'm told by some ofher people. I don't know that the
Vice president thinks this, but someof her people believe she will win this,
that she'll choose a strong running mate, that she does have the support
of many of the delegates who areBiden Harris delegates, and that she can
win this basically on her own.And at least one of her allies said
to me, this is better,better to not be anointed by Joe Biden,
better show independence, better to showwith a strong ticket, the capacity
(18:44):
to win the nomination on her own. Well Mark that said, though,
I mean, you're very familiar withcampaign finance laws. He has, you
know, two hundred and three hundredmillion in his war chest right now.
I believe, in my understanding isKamala would be the only one who could
absorb that and continue on the campaign. How's that going to work when when
all their big pocket donors have alreadypushed for that. Well, there's all
(19:06):
sorts of money, right, there'sSuper Pac money, there's load dollars.
The belief is that a new ticketwill inject excitement into the party and that
both low dollar donors and the bigdonors who in the last few days have
sent a strong message to President Bidenthat they will not support his being the
Democratic nominee. So there's a strongbelief that with a new ticket that they
can raise money from the big dollardonors who can give and bundle hard dollars,
(19:27):
can give Super Pac money, aswell as the small dollar donations that
they'll will come in to whatever thenew ticket is, whether it's the vice
president or not. If it isthe vice president, most campaign finance experts
belief she does get to keep theBiden Harris money. Yeah, so that
was the thing I was mentioning beforethe money thing. Let me just ask
you one question. This is,you know, I don't care if Biden
stays in Biden doesn't stay in andside I don't know. It has that
(19:51):
feel of an NFL team where thefan base is fed up with the quarterback.
You've seen this forever, haven't you. I mean, since the history
of football. It's replete with examplesof this. Right, the fan base
(20:11):
gets angry, the quarterback has acouple of losses, throws four interceptions in
one game, they bench him,they put in the backup who is sort
of met but he's not that guy, right, And there's the call on
talk radio, on you know,all the sports stations, we got to
(20:32):
think we got to make a changeat quarterback. This team can't win with
that quarterback. And this quarterback whohad won maybe even taking the team to
the playoffs, let's say, andprior seasons, this quarterback now embattled and
now there's this momentum right to replacethe quarterback. You know, all you
(20:53):
can hear about on sports sports talkradio is is we got to replace the
quarterback. We cannot win with thisquarterback. He's passed his prime, he
had a knee injury, he's notthrowing the way he used to. And
you hear the fans say, youknow, we're not going to make the
playoffs with this quarterback. And sothere is a momentum and ownership and coaches,
(21:17):
all they're asked about is, youknow, when are you going to
make a change of quarterback? Areyou considering making a changing quarterback? And
then the team does make a changea quarterback and they bring on the second
string or third string quarterback, andsecond string or third string quarterback does what
(21:38):
second string and third string quarterbacks do, and that is play okay, but
not enough to actually get anybody toplayoffs. That's the reason their second string
or third string. Unless you're TomBrady. Sure remember that's exactly how he
got the job. Of course,that's exactly right. You get a Tom
(22:02):
Brady, you get a Kurt Warner, you get somebody who was bagging groceries
on Tuesday and now he's leading themto the super Bowl on Sunday sos Kurt
Warner did who played for the LaRam exactly. So you end up with
the very real possibility that this entirething, ugly though it might be,
(22:23):
if it turns out the way thatit's being handicapped by Halpern and others.
You know where Biden steps back andyou have an open convention, and Harris
and others actually entered the convention.And there's really a fair way, if
you want to think of it,this way of deciding on who will be
top of ticket. You could endup with a Tom Brady Kurt Warner,
(22:45):
or you can end up with thesecond or third stringer who you realize,
oh, that's why their second orthird string. So much of this is
sadly name recognition and familiarity, andmost of the people art part of the
conversation. You don't know you justthe name's just not out there, Joshapiro,
(23:07):
do you know? I mean yousee what I'm saying. You end
up in a situation very quickly whereyou're having to power up awareness for a
candidate that has none. Anyway,very interesting to see what happens. And
indeed, if Biden does step back, so again, I'll reiterate that to
Donald Trump speaks tonight at the RepublicanNational Convention, we will carry it for
(23:30):
you here at KFI. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Whenever we talkto Mo Kelly, the future is brought
to you by one day Treatment,life changing results. Make your appointment today
at Advanced Hair dot com and Mothere is a lot going on. The
(23:52):
RNC is reaching a zenith, Yeah, zena apex, crescendo, whatever you
want to say. Yeah, becausethe Big Man is speaking tonight during your
show. Yes, yeah, you'llcarry it live absolutely well, also carry
any lead up to it. I'mquite sure Dana White will be speaking in
the next ten to fifteen minutes,so we will have his remarks live as
(24:14):
well. Yeah, it's been quitethe day that the Trump son, Eric
Trump speaking. They have the theHulkster. Yes you know brother, Yes,
Hulk Hogan. Yes. I dida live remote on the on the
morning show Good to La with HulkHogan. So I'm out there. You
(24:36):
arrive to the location at like sixin the morning or something, and he's
there to promote something. And Igot to say, the guy was really
cool. He stuck his he walkedtoward me and he stuck his hand.
Hello, brother Terry, nice tomeet you. Oh he gave you this
government Yeah, like right away hewas like telling me, like, you
don't need to call me Hulk,you know. But so he spoke and
Kid Rock has reworked the lyrics ofone of his songs to inclu a bunch
(25:00):
of love for Donald Trump. Well, as I understand, he's supposed to
perform after Donald Trump, and Iknow there'll be a lot of interest around
that. So we'll carry that liveas well. This is great. You're
doing a lot of RNC stuff,but it is absolutely it's good. Look,
politics is in my blood. That'sthat's what I love to discuss,
I know, And So in thatspirit, I'll ask you to weigh in
on the latest report, the MarkAlpern report that Biden is likely to step
(25:25):
away most likely Sunday, but possiblySaturday, that he is not going to
endorse Kamala Harrison. Instead, he'sgoing to ask that there be an open
convention and that essentially the delegates beworked out that way. Yeah, that's
the way he's going to have todo it for a number of reasons.
(25:45):
You don't want to have an intraparty riot on a Democratic floor, and
the only way you can avoid thatis to not undermine all the people who
voted for him in the primaries.You can't say the primaries are moot.
Well, legally they can, butyou don't want to fracture the coalition anymore
than it's already been fractured. So, and also you don't want President Biden
(26:06):
putting his finger on the scale forKamala Harris. If it's going to be
an open convention, then he can'tendorse anyone. But also, you know
that you talked about this, there'sa money issue. They have to make
sure that. However, you know, all the people who've pledge money to
the Biden Harris ticket. There hasto be some consideration for that. So
I know the parties lawyers are goingthrough that with a fine tooth comb.
(26:30):
Because Joe Biden raised some one hundredand twenty seven million in June. Yeah,
that's not nothing exactly. I meanthere's close to three hundred million dollars.
Yeah, and you know, sadly, it takes money to win elections.
You have to hire people, theyhave to there's an entire infrastructure to
try to win an election. Well, that's part of the reason why it's
looking like Joe Biden may be droppingout soon, if only because the big
(26:52):
donors have said we're not going tosupport you going forward. Now, Joe
Biden can say I'm going to getout when I say I'm going to get
out, but that has nothing todo when the money starts drying up.
And also, you have not seenthe most fluent, influential members of the
party come out and hold Joe's handand say we still stand by Joe.
They've had this whisper campaign going onfor the past week. You know,
(27:15):
they'll make a statement publicly, butthey're not standing with him, which says
they're not really with him. Yeah, I thought it was almost comical the
way Pelosi was asked about it rightlast week and she said, well,
we're going to give him time tomake the decision, right right, Well,
he's made the decision, he said, he's not going to get Well,
we're going to give you more time, more time. I caught that.
(27:36):
Yeah, Joe, you didn't hearthat. Yeah, it really is.
It's a drumbeat that's just too loudto ignore at this point. Yeah,
So you have all that sorts againstthat backdrop that this very impressive Republican
National Convention has gone on. Imean it's they've displayed unity and it's gone
well, I think, right,Yeah, but we also know we got
(27:57):
four months in police terms. Look, a month ago, we couldn't have
foreseen what that debate was going toturn out to be. Three weeks ago,
we couldn't have foreseen that there wasgoing to be a presidential assassination attempt.
We just don't know what the futureis going. We couldn't have foreseen
that Joe Biden might be on theprecipice of dropping out. We didn't foresee
that Bernie Sanders was going to havea heart attack on the campaign trail.
(28:18):
You know, election seasons ago,we just don't know what is going to
happen. Yeah, that's a greatpoint. Yeah, I's say there is
oddly so little time and yet somuch time for things to change. That's
a great way to put it.Yeah, and for things to be shook
up. So I look forward toto Moe Kelly tonight. Thanks everybody.
The Conway kids have been always supportive. Really appreciate it, making it so
(28:41):
much easier to get stuff done aroundhere. So back tomorrow. Moe is
