Jon Levine, New York Post on breaking story of Parkinson's doc visits in Biden guest logs

Jon Levine of the New York Post joins Ryan with exclusive details on how his reporting on numerous visits to the White House by a Parkinson's medical expert in the visitor logs ignited a firestorm of concern about President Biden's cognitive state. Could this be the turning point of Joe's political survival as the Democrat nominee for re-election?

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Wow. May you live in interestingtimes? And somehow these times we live
in continue to get more and moreinteresting, more unprecedented, historically, more
dramatic, more jaw dropping. Alongwith Shannon Scott Ryan shuling with you,
the Detroit connection re established, KellyCachira is bouncing around somewhere here, and

(00:23):
we've got a lot of moving partsbehind the scenes that I want to clue
you in on, and you canparticipate anytime throughout today's program by text five
seven seven three nine. It isdifficult to believe that as we woke up
today, we are still two weekswithin the debate that took place on Thursday,
June twenty seventh. Think about that, Think about everything that has happened

(00:48):
in just under two weeks time.It'll be two weeks tonight, and tonight
there is going to be what manypeople are terming and what I believe to
be a make or break press conferencefor President Joe Biden. Usually you don't
want to put too fine a pointon it, because these are a series
of events that I think make upone mosaic, one picture, one collage

(01:12):
of a president in his position.But he has been under so much fire
from his own side dissension within theranks, some people coming forward, very
verbally, very few coming forward andreally firmly, strongly showing their support for
him. One of them was SenatorJohn Fetterman last night on Jesse Watter's Prime

(01:34):
Time of All programs. And Ilike John Fetterman a lot. I disagree
with him on virtually all issues.Israel would be one exception, a very
pro Israel, and I appreciate thathe stands against his party on that issue.
He seems to me, at leastto be a principled, traditional classical
liberal. I don't think he's farleft by any means, and he's rejected

(01:55):
the term progressive in interviews with DellMahr. It's like something snapped in a
good way when he had his verydebilitative stroke. He struggled through a debate,
he was elected, and he hasrecovered remarkably. You can see he's
much more communicative and clear of mind. He's younger, he's five years older
than I am, so he's inhis mid fifties. But he has more

(02:19):
ability, I think, to recoverto a fuller level than say a Joe
Biden. And he went to theMattresses to defending Joe Biden say, hey,
he stood by me. I'm goingto stand by him. I am
loyal to him. And when Iwatched that interview unfold with Jesse Waters,
I was watching a guy that Ithink was a very sincere and genuine person,

(02:40):
And that really stood out to mefrom most of those snakes and clowns
in Washington who were just there topursue their own personal agendas and elevate their
own brands. I don't think Fetterman'sabout that. But outside of John Fetterman,
find me somebody a prominent Democrat whowas really full throatedly so poorted Joe

(03:00):
Biden and not mealy mouthed their waythrough as well, it's up to Joe.
Well, that's Joe's decision. Imean, Nancy Pelosi was playing these
mind games and said, well,Joe's got to make a decision. He
better make it soon. He madehis decision and he said he's running,
So you're really trying to gaslight himout of this. Good luck with that.

(03:21):
And I think Joe Biden as itstands right now, and this could
change by the hour. It certainlychanges by the day. Heck, it
could change by the minute. Ibelieve President Biden is resolutely determined to stay
in this race. And that mightmake me sound crazy, but I'm just
watching like you are, how everythingis unfolding in real time. He has
responses to it. The people whoare closest to him and advising him,

(03:44):
who he feels are looking out forhis best interest. And I don't know
that I would agree with that assessment. But I'm not Joe Biden. But
Joe Biden's closest and most trusted advisorsright now are doctor Joe Biden. The
first lady who has insisted and demandedupon her own theme entrance music like she's
a pro wrestler. That's a fact. You could look it up yourself.

(04:09):
She had her own theme composed andshe demands that the band play it for
her prior to her appearances in public. I am not making this up.
I thought it was a joke.It's not out of the Babylon beat.
And Hunter Biden, Joe's son.Joe feels that, you know, Hunter

(04:30):
is loyal to him because they've beenthrough it all together, all the racketeering
and money laundering and uh campaigning forfunds from nefarious governments overseas. They've been
through a lot together those two andso he's going to see it through damn
the torpedoes. And there's a pressconference scheduled for tonight. Now, originally

(04:50):
this is going to take place atfive thirty pm Eastern time. That would
have meant three thirty pm Mountain time, and we were going to have it
for you on the tail end ofthis broadcast over our two hours at three
point thirty, but the Biden teamdecided to move that even later, which

(05:12):
seems to be an enormous gamble.And we were told that Joe Biden has
about six good hours in him,and even that comes with an asterisk.
Ten am to four pm that's hiswindow. And within that ten am to
four pm window, guess what heneeds a nap. So let's map that
out. Let's say, okay,he's ready to go. He's got his
granola in him and his insure andhas met a mucil and all the pills

(05:36):
that he's got to take, andhe's ready to go hit the ground walking
at least at ten am. Well, if you want to barter that about
midway through, that means a napfor Joe at about one pm. So
let's give Joe a half hour nap. You know, I like about a
fifteen minute nap. I think that'srefreshing and you don't get kind of bogged

(05:57):
down and cloudy. But we'll givehim half an hour. So a half
hour nap from one to one thirty. Wakes back up. He's rareing to
go. He's got a little bitof a late lunch, maybe snack,
and then he can go to aboutfour o'clock from there. I mean,
this is like a little bit longerthan a kindergarten schedule these days, right,
and at four o'clock he starts tosundown. That's literal. We know

(06:20):
what the effects are. I playedthem for you on this program over the
last couple of days when the Parkinson'sExpert, the Board certified Parkinson's Expert,
appeared on NBC. And remember thatthat anchor kept trying to interrupt him and
say, oh, I've heard it'spretty hard to diagnose. I've had family
members and the doctor pushback it.Well, actually, it's one of the

(06:42):
easier conditions to diagnose. And furtherto that point, if a medical student
observed these symptoms and didn't come backwith a Parkinson's diagnosis, they would have
failed the test. I mean,I'm paraphrasing. This is what this panelist
said. And he said he isa self described Democrat, but he said,
you gotta believe you're lieon eyes here. So President Biden under fire since

(07:09):
the debate. He's tried to sitdown interview with George Stephanopoulos, He's tried
the phone it in interview, withall the notes fumbling in the papers on
Monday with Joe and Mika on MorningJoe. None of this has quieted the
critics, quelled the concerns, reallyassuaged anybody's apprehension about Joe Biden. And

(07:30):
then George Clooney, of all people, comes out with an op ed in
the New York Times saying basically,I love Joe Biden, but you know
his time has passed. It's timeto step aside. And this has gone
into the parody universe. Will startwith Stephen Colbert from last night. While
congressional Democrats are conflicted, we gota clear message today from our nation's most

(07:54):
powerful democratic leader, George Clooney,Orge Road to New York Times op ed
titled I love Joe Biden, butwe need a new nominee, adding we
also need a money guy, asafecracker and acrobat and Brad Pitts. It's
the plot of Ocean's twenty four.AMA's busy with human rights stuff and I

(08:16):
got bored. I like that prettyfunny, and it caused Donald Trump to
retweet this parody. I'm not surewhich film this is from, with George
Clooney starring maybe mon If you canclue me in, this's be a good
trivia question for everybody out there.Five seven seven three nine start at Ryan,
but think about this on true socialDonald Trump reposted this. So,

(08:39):
although I wish I were here withbetter news, the fact is that you
and I are sitting here today becausethis will be your last week of employment,
and this is not an assessment ofyour productivity. You're going to try
not to take this personally. Yes, I just had a bad names.
Up in the air, Kelly saysthat did you see that film? Kel?

(09:01):
I have you to hear this reactionthough by Joe Biden, watch us.
You're going to try not to takethis personally. Oh I just had
a bad night. Oh my goodness. And of course the questions arose,
you know, was it really justGeorge Clooney who was doing this and peace
by peace. The clues were comingout from those that were in the know,

(09:26):
and it started with none other thanour good friend Mika Brazinski. Listen
very carefully to how this is allkind of unraveling before your very eyes.
This wasn't George Clooney. But butwhat do you mean, just wasn't.
Come on, who do you thinkit was? It was not Matt Damon,

(09:46):
It wasn't Julia Roberts. Do youthink it was? You can say
the name, It's not Baltimore.Are you saying you think Barack Obama put
him up to this? I thinkthat Barack Obama has a lot of influence,
and I think that there's a lotthere. There's a lot there because
she knows damn well it was BarackObama. George Clooney is very close to

(10:11):
the Obama's Specifically, the former presidentwent to and with the op ed and
Willie Geist confirmed this in a reportfrom Political Playbook. These are the leftist
sources think about this. These arethe media outlets that Barack and Michelle Obama
would go to directly. Of course, Morning Joe, Joe and Mika is
about as strong of allies as they'regoing to get in the Business and Political

(10:33):
Playbook, Dan Bongino calls it somethingelse that I can't say on the air
because of FCC regulations, but it'sthe leftist playbook. Here's Willie Geist a
couple quick notes. Playbook is reportingthis morning that George Clooney gave former President
Obama a heads up about the opbedhe was going to post to The New
York Times. President Obama reportedly,according to Playbook, didn't object. We

(10:56):
know there were prominent people in Hollywoodwho work with the Biden campaign, like
Jeffrey Hatzenberg, trying to talk GeorgeCludy out of publishing that op ed.
So there's a lot a lot ofcross currents there, dissension within the ranks.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Democrats are in complete disarray.
They can't decide if Joe Biden istheir best bet or not. And

(11:18):
this is a very key point thatJoe Scarborough makes, and it comes to
you in two parts, and I'llcomment in between. And on the other
side, the Biden campaign and manyDemocratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is
quietly working behind the scenes to orchestratethis and if Joe Biden believes that that's

(11:45):
not going to get him out ofthe race any faster or anytime David Axelrod
attacks him, David Axelrod ensures thatJoe Biden will dig himself in another day.
Yes, anytime the Pod Bros saysomething nasty about Joe Biden, which
they have repeatedly said nasty things aboutJoe Biden before the debate, after the

(12:09):
debate, every time they do that, he digs in a little bit further.
Joe Scarborough's absolutely right, And thePod Bros he's referring to are Pod
Save America, and they're very muchembedded with the Obamas. And this is
taking me down a rabbit hole ofwhy are the Obamas specifically trying to orchestrate

(12:33):
this behind the scenes coup to takedown Joe Biden. Now, the easy
answer, which will make Dan Kaplis'sears perk up, is that they're looking
for an entry point for Michelle Obamato parachute into this thing. I don't
necessarily think that's the case, butif you connect the dots, that's the
Okham's razor explanation. The simplest path, the most direct between two lines.

(12:56):
Joe Scarborough continues in this analysis,and this is where I will build off
this as a jumping point. Thepathway to Joe Biden, graciously stepping aside,
does not go through the Obamas orthe Clintons. It just doesn't.
Again, as I said, becausesome people don't understand not talking about what

(13:20):
ought to be. I'm talking aboutwhat is Joe Scarborough's right and why he
knows what is is because he istelling you what Team Biden is telling him.
Make no mistake, Joe Scarborough isdirectly plugged into Joe Biden himself.
Team Biden, led by doctor JoeBiden, Hunter Biden. There is a

(13:43):
civil war brewing within the Democratic leadership. Never forget this point, and it
might be just a titular figurehead.Joe Biden is the sitting President of the
United States. Barack Obama is not, Bill Clinton is not Hillary Clinton,
never was, and Michelle Obama gothelp us hopefully never will be so.
No matter what the mechanism was thatpropelled him in place, COVID helping the

(14:09):
ballot harvesting and all the rules changingand Jim Clydburn giving him the catapult in
South Carolina in a primary where JoeBiden was struggling like he usually does in
campaigns because he's not a very goodcandidate. He's a Manchurian candidate in a
lot of ways. He was proppedup weekend at Bernie style by this Democratic
Party, and now he's like Frankenstein'smonster, turning on them because he did

(14:33):
ascend to the highest office in theland. He is the President of the
United States, no matter what jokesare attached to that, and he does
not have to leave, no matterwhat anybody else outside of that oval office
says, don't delude yourselves into anythingelse and how many names. No matter
what Dan Caplis tells you, theelites cannot swoop in and say, nope,

(14:54):
Joe, we're taking you down,ladies and gentlemen. That would be
a literal coup. That would beoverthrowing democracy. There was a primary,
Joe Biden won it. You couldsay it was a rig primary, and
it was. But the Democrats createdthis monster. Joe Biden has the delegates,
they are pledged to him. Nowthey might go rogue, I don't

(15:15):
know, but they are setting upthe Democrats for absolute chaos in Chicago if
they don't coalesce around Joe Biden.And I'm telling you this because Joe Biden,
he is not leaving of his ownaccord. And I'm going to tell
you this further. Somehow, theObamas, the Clintons, the establishment powers

(15:37):
that be, the elites, GeorgeClooney, Hollywood, all of these forces
turning against Joe Biden makes Joe Biden, in my mind, a more sympathetic
figure. Somehow, they have turnedJoe Biden into this martyred hero of sorts
when the establishments against him, andJoe Biden is considered to be fighting against

(15:58):
that establish and he is anti establishmentfrom within, I believe there's a lot
of sympathy to be garnered there.And I'm not saying you know that hearts
and minds will be changed by anyof this, that there aren't still concerns
about his cognitive decline. But JoeBiden digging in against all those odds,
that's the American spirit. I mean, that's the Rocky Balboa in US.

(16:22):
And I'll say this, I don'twant those elites coming in and manipulating this
race anymore than they already have andtelling Joe Biden now he's got to go
according to whom who makes that call, who has that power? Nobody should.
Joe Biden is the president of theUnited States, and if he wants
to run, and he stayed inand he won the primary, and he's
got the delegates. Guess what,Jack to borrow a Joe Biden phrase.

(16:47):
He's the guy. Now. It'snot that I'm defending Joe Biden, but
I am defending against the idea likewe had here in Colorado. I talked
about this with Representative Lauren Bobert yesterday. Kenna Griswold, christa k for Maryon
Nicholas, a bunch of scrubs.They got together, they coalesced, they
conspired. They tried to take DonaldTrump off our ballot here in Colorado.

(17:08):
And you know how I reacted tothat, and I know how many of
you reacted to that. And theSupreme Court of the United States slap them
down nine to nothing, even thethree liberal justices, because we don't want
to be told who our leaders are. That is the most anti American thing
you can do. So if aDan Kaplis wants to go all elite and
we're gonna parachute people in who aremore important than us, like George Clooney

(17:29):
and the Obamas, and they're gonnatell us who we get to vote for.
Blank You no, that's not howthings are going to go here.
The people decide we have a primaryfor a reason, we vote for a
reason. And the Democratic voters choseJoe Biden even though there are only other
choices were Mary Ann Williamson and theguy from Minnesota, and they didn't let

(17:52):
rfk in to the party. ButJoe Biden ran that primary, followed the
rules as they were laid out anyone. And you can't just go in
Willie Nelly and undo that. Thatwould be Banana republic crap. The Democratic
Party is making a mockery of itselfright now, and the Republicans have had

(18:14):
nothing to do with it. They'rejust standing by and watching the chaos unfold.
Speaker Mike Johnson to that point,it's been an incredible thing to watch
on Capitol Hill. The Democrats arein total disarray. They don't know what
to do, they don't have aplan B, but they know they've got
a serious problem. And as wasnoted a moment ago, you're right,
it's the biggest political cover up thatwe've ever seen, maybe in US history.

(18:37):
And it's the most consequential as well. All those NATO leaders are here
on the hill as you know.These foreign leaders are coming in Prime ministers,
heads of state, and they aretelling us privately that they're deeply concerned.
A week America is bath for thewhole world. George Cluton had a
fundraiser in California, and he didn'ttell us that Biden was diminished till three
to four weeks later. Chuck Toddwas sitting on a story from a source

(18:59):
I think it's Pete Boo to judgein the administration saying two years ago Biden
shouldn't run in his current state.He sat on that story. The media,
Hollywood, everyone on the Democratic farleft, they are getting their just
desserts right now, and they deserveJoe Biden as their candidate. Master Service

The rigidity, what you mean rigidity, loss of arms, swings standing

(20:30):
up more dotically. You notice whenhe turns, it's kind of n block
turning. It's not a quick turn. So that's one of the hallmarks of
Parkinson's is rigidity and braded kinesius slowmovement, and he has that hallmark,
especially with the low voice that saidwas a cold hypophonia. A small monotone
voice like this over time is ahallmark of parkinsonism. I could have diagnosed

(20:52):
him from across the mall. Icould have diagnosed him from across the mall,
said doctor Tom Pitts. He hasboard certified a neurology. He was
analyzing from AFAR. But there hasnow been information. It's been again compiling
by the day since doctor Pitts appearedon NPC just a couple of days ago.
Originally, Corin John Pierre denied thatJoe Biden was part of this examination

(21:15):
team that had come in. Ibelieve it was eight times in eight months
that there were four people present.Three were identified, the fourth was a
mystery, and it turns out thatfourth was Joe Biden. So this has
become a complete lie, wrapped inenigma, wrapped in a riddle. But
since the debate performance just two weeksago by Joe Biden, it's the Parkinson's

(21:37):
evaluation that has come out as themajor storm, the part of this story
and joining us now he's the onethat broke that story. He did so
for The New York Post. Heis Jonathan Levine. You can follow him
on x slash Twitter at Levine Jonathan. In that order, he joins us.
Now, John, thank you somuch for your time and thanks for
joining me today. Thank you forhaving me. Very important subject it is,

(22:00):
and I want to go through yourreporting on it, how you came
about the information that you encountered,and what it led to as you started
pulling the thread on that sweater.Well, yeah, I mean, this
story, like a lot of otherstories I've written in the past, came
out of the White House visitor logs. For anyone who's not familiar, when
you go into the White House,they keep a record who goes in and

(22:21):
who comes out, and there's theselogs have tens of thousands of names,
and you can see both who's comingin and who they're visiting, and where
the visit is taking place. Soif I ever don't have anything to do
around having a slow day, Igo to the visitor logs and I just
take a look at what's there.You know, a couple of years ago,
I found out that some of HunterBiden's business partners were showing up in

(22:44):
the White House a lot through thevisitor locks, and in this case,
I discovered this very eminent neurologist,Kevin Connard had visited with President Biden's personal
physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor. NowKevin O'Connor is the position to the president
not treat anyone else on the regularin the White House. And they met
in the Residence Clinic, which isthe clinic in the White House, and

(23:07):
if the residents where Biden lived.So it was very very strange, and
you know, one thing led toanother, and we just reported on this
visit and the White House gave veryconflicting answers, and you know, apparently
now we know that he met withCannard as part of his annual physical,
where the neurology exam was administered,and where the White House said in February

(23:30):
that there was a Parkinson's test andhe was fine, but you know,
they just didn't They were very unforthcomingwith that information for several days, which
led to sort of a cover up, worst of the crime kind of news
story. But clearly the President hasmoved very far from whatever that February physical
showed, and I think the Americanpeople didn't need to see some kind of

(23:55):
a second evaluation before the election,because you know, when you're an eighty
one year old man, the differencebetween an examination in January and where we
are now in June could be huge. And so as you played earlier in
neurologists that you could diagnose Biden withParkinson's dism from across the room. So
I can't do that, but Ithink that the American people need to see

(24:18):
a second evaluation. And I furtherthink that you know, brain scans and
MRIs should be released publicly so thatany accusations of a cover up can be
you know, put to bed.John Levine joining us from the New York
Post, I want to kind offollow the chronology to John, of the
atmosphere of the environment within which youoperate, you work, because we don't
have to go back that far.When the New York Post was basically shadow

(24:42):
band and completely shut down on Twitterin the wake of the Hunter Biden laptop
story. Miranda Devine has joined memany times on this program to talk about
that, and all of the mainstreammedia so called, was carrying water for
the Biden administration covering that up.Very different response to your reporting on multiple

(25:02):
fronts. Let's start though, withthe New York Times picking up your reporting
and putting it into stories of theirown. When you saw that happen,
what did that tell you? Well, I think we're in a very unique
medium moment where the press is ina very adversarial frame of mind toward President
Biden and Democrats because they have avery specific objective right which is to force

(25:25):
him out of the race and toinstall Kamala Harris as the nominee. So
I always joked that Biden Democrats arebeing treated like Republicans for the first time
in their life, and a lotof them are shell shock. This was
like Trump's reality every single day,right, So I think that, like
if I had published this story beforethe debate, I think the Times wouldn't

(25:48):
have picked it up. And becauseyou know, back before the debate,
you were still broadly in presidential protectionmode. And you'll recall there were a
lot of videos of Biding kind oflooking off into space, wandering off somewhere,
not sure where he's going. Andyou know, we were told those
were fake, those were doctor theywere cheap bakes for cheat bakes. Oh

(26:10):
yeah, for the debate, wehad a whole the Post is publishing fake
news. Biden is fine, thatwas talking about whiplash. Oh my god.
So but now that there's a broadunderstanding in the Democratic Party that you
know, he really is out ofit, I think that they were much
more willing to pick up the storyabout Cannard and these visits after the debate.

(26:33):
So I think that's what happened.It's so interesting, John, to
watch the sharks circle here and heis John Levigne joining us from the New
York Post, Ryan schuling with youon six point thirty K how I was
very amused by your jiff that youposted of Fredo out in the boat,
because it does feel like a circlingmob hit here. And I go back
to a different movie, Casino whereAce Rothstein fires the brother in law and

(26:56):
said you were either too dumb torealize what was going on or you were
in on it. Either way,you're out in John. That's how I
view like. You know, Idon't want you to call it colleagues necessarily,
but I'll let you fill in thegaps here at O'Keefe at CBS.
This righteously indignant media that either wasn'tcurious enough to dig as deeply let's just
say, as you did to findout the truth about Biden's idiosyncratic behavior and

(27:21):
these marks, these signs perhaps ofAlzheimer's or Parkinston's or dementia, whatever it
was, or they were in onit. They had information that they didn't
reveal, and that was subjected tous in the Toddcast, the Chuck Toddcast
where he said, oh, yeah, two years ago a cabinet member of
the Biden administration said oh, hecan't run like this, and Chuck Todd
waits until now two years later toreveal that information. What's going on in

(27:45):
the White House press corps. It'sso funny, right, It's like,
now they're almost overcompensating. And Igave it an o'keef credit. It was
a good exchange. But they're almostover compensating, and you're seeing all these
little nuggets filter out, Like rememberCarl Bernstein wood word in Bernstein, he
was on Anderson Cooper or someone Ithink it was Andrew Cooper, and he's

(28:07):
like, oh, yeah, youknow, there were like fifteen or twenty
times I heard about where Biden waskind of out of it in the last
eighteen months. And it's sort oflike what it's like there, what word
in Bernstein? Bernstein, You're likemister deep throat, and you didn't tell
anyone, You never reported it anywhere. It just was like, oh yeah,
well this was like week sort ofknew this, and of course Anderson

(28:30):
Cooper being Anderson Cooper, did notpress him on it, like why didn't
you tell anyone? Maureen Dowd,whose column I do regularly read in the
Times, she said, as anaside with paragraph ten of some column,
she wrote that the Times Foreign correspondentPeter Baker was was with Biden overseas and
Biden spoke so softly that he hadto use translation software to hear him better.

(28:56):
And again, this is just likegoss between Baker and Dowd. Why
wasn't that ever reported? And soyou're starting to see all these little nuggets
where oh, yeah, you know, maybe he was a vegetable and we
saw that, but you know,and it's like, but why wasn't it
reported? And I think I thinkthere is a lot of it's almost like

(29:19):
Weinstein, you know, where everyonesort of knew Harvey Weinstein, that that
whole thing everyone sort of knew butnever kind of came out until it came
out, and in this case they'rethey're doubly upset because they obviously want Biden
to win the election. All theirnewspapers are going to endorse Biden, even
though they all the drop out ofthe rate if he stays in. They
wanted to win the election, andthey realize that their willful blindness towards this

(29:42):
issue has gravely imperiled their objective andmakes it far more likely that Trump will
return to the White House, whichobviously none of them want. Keep a
careful eye on these reporters, thoughDuff protests too much applies to a lot
of them who are suddenly again righteouslyindignant about being lied to, or they

(30:03):
were not told the whole story.Well, they didn't bother to dig deep
enough, like John Levine, didyou know, James Rose and other members
of that press corps. Those thatdid not react that way, Those that
have been doing their job the wholetime, like John has, Those are
the ones you want to trust andfollow. You can read his work at
New York Post dot com. Youcan follow him on Exit Levine. Jonathan
John Levine, great talking to you, man, and great work. Continued

(30:26):
success to you. We'll talk toyou again soon. John Levin right Thick
from the New York Post. We'lltake this time out. Get your reaction
five seven seven three nine. Sendthose texts starting Ryan as we round out
our number one on six point thirtyk O. Nice selection there from our
own Shannon Scott sending us into thetwo minute warning before halftime here. Appreciate

(30:49):
you tuning in. If you're doingso live, you can text the show
five seven seven three nine. Startat Ryan. You're truly Ryan shuling at
the controls Well. Shannon is rightnow taking you to the Dan Kaplis Show
and a very big night for JoeBiden. Six thirty pm Eastern Time.
That'll be four thirty pm here inthe Mountain time zone. Joe Biden with

(31:11):
the press conference of his life.He really has to deliver tonight, I
think, to assuage concerns and fearson his own side, but particularly voters
in the middle who are really goingto decide this election, and they want
to know that this guy is competentto run. Now we know that he's
not, but I want him towin. I am rooting for Joe Biden

(31:32):
tonight, and it's not because Iparticularly like Joe Biden, But I don't
like the forces that be, thenebulous behind the scenes cabal that's looking to
tank his candidacy and bring him down, because what comes up in his place.
I want Joe Biden to be thenominee and I want Donald Trump to
clock him, and I want thatto be the verdict of the American people.
I don't want some kind of subterfugecandidate to emerge through the cracks that

(31:59):
doesn't have to go through the vettingprocess of a primary. That is dangerous
for America. Joe Biden is too, but we can defeat him if the
machine of the Democratic Party gets involvedand they start cherry picking candidates of their
own favor without regard to what theAmerican people or even their own Democratic voters
think. It's not a path Iwant to go down. I'm a populist

(32:21):
in this regard. Look you goback far enough. I would have been
a Democratic Republican, along with ThomasJefferson, James Madison, the agrarian portions
of our original thirteen colonies, notwanting to be overlooked, having equal representation
in the Senate, having electoral collegeto make sure that we didn't have tyranny
of the majority of those that livein our cities, which is what the

(32:43):
national popular vote, the combination ofstates that have signed on to the pack
to adhere to that, including ushere in the state of Colorado. That's
what they're looking to do. They'relooking to circumvent the voice of those who
would remain voiceless because they don't livein very dense population centers. To your
text, we go this one fromthe two six' nine back home in

(33:05):
southwest Michigan. It's my buddy Justin. He says, who wouldn't like a
nap in the middle of their workday? How fast does the DNC replace Biden
after he stumbles and bumbles with hispost natal presser tonight. That's from Justin
de back in Michigan, Justin again, the mechanisms not in place. I'll
get to some more audio on theother side, Major Garrett CBS News kind
of he walks us through this,but it's a lot of the same kind

(33:28):
of parameters that I've been describing andmy debates with Dan on this subject.
And we'll get to more of yourtexts as well when we come back.
Our number two straight ahead, stickand stay, don't go anywhere, keep
it locked in Ryan schuling. Hereon six point thirty kh
