(00:00):
That's right. We go from Denverto Milwaukee, Wisconsin or Milliwaukee, as
Alice Cooper told us in Wayne's WorldAlgonquin for friendly People, the good Land,
No, Mandy, the good Land. Really, I thought it was
the Land of the friendly People.I need to go rewatch that movie.
You know, we could do likea trivia night and that would be one
of the multiple choice answers. Whatyou said, but it had a wrong
(00:23):
answer. I think I believe so, Yeah, is it really beautiful there?
Though it is? Well? Youhave you ever been to Milwaukee?
I have many times. Yep.It's a great city. I mean,
it's just a great city. Butright now, Ryan, the zone,
the security zone is so big thatthey have essentially cut off all access to
everything in downtown Milwaukee. If youdon't have a badge, if you don't
(00:44):
have credentials, you can forget aboutgoing most places in Milwaukee. North of
whatever that big road is that kindof cuts the city in half. Everything
is shut. It's the security hereis insanely tight. And I've never been
to a convention to compare, youknow, conventions of this, but holy
mackerel, you can't swing a deadcat without hitting a guy with a long
gun. Mandy Connell joining us fromKoa. She is live on media row
(01:08):
there. Jd Vance Senator Ohio.He has accepted Trump's VP nomination and will
run on the ticket. Amanda,your thoughts on that choice and why you
think Trump made it? You know, I really think it comes down to
he likes him, and I thinkthat Trump, who knows he's only gonna
be run in office for four moreyears, right, he's term limited after
(01:29):
that. I think he looked forsomeone that he thought could carry the mantle
of Trump policies forward, right likehe If Jade Vance runs for president in
four years and has the fortune toget elected, then I think Trump is
more certain that that person will takethe Trump agenda, the Trump political viewpoints,
and continue with that. And Ithink that's why he chose him.
(01:52):
Because jd Vance, I mean,he is from Ohio, he underperformed a
little bit compared to the Republican governor. He's not as popular by a long
shot in Ohio as Trump is.I think, so the strategic nature of
that feels less important on this one. And I honestly think Ryan he feels
Trump feels like he got burned inthe last go round by Mike Pension was
(02:16):
not like Donald Trump at all,and he still, I think, feels
very bitter about that, and sohe went with someone who is someone he
understands, someone he likes, someonewho has the same ideology he has,
and that he's comfortable with. MandyConell joining us live from Milwaukee, scene
of the Republican National Convention, whereJade Vance we're talking about him will be
(02:39):
the VP nominee on the ticket withDonald Trump. So you talked about how
security may have changed in the wakeof the events of Saturday. Mandy,
your take on how the race haschanged after the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
I talked about it earlier. Ryan. I don't see how Trump doesn't
win just because, oh the guygot shot, we should vote for him.
(03:01):
But I think that so many peoplewere so horrified at the notion that
there was an assassination attempt against apolitical candidate, and thank god it wasn't
successful. But it's so horrifying tothink that that is where our political discourse
has devolved. And I know thatwe know that Trump is going to speak
(03:23):
tonight at eight o'clock Mountain time.We're going to carry that on KOA and
the scuttle but here is that heis going to strike a very conciliatory tone
and sort of go with the youknow, we all need to be more
unified, and not just Republicans buteveryone. And so it's going to be
(03:45):
very interesting to see what he doestonight because he's also going to be giving
a speech Thursday night when he acceptsthe nomination. And I think it's going
to be interesting to see how thosetwo speeches compare and how they move the
campaign forward from today on. MandyConnell KOA Live from Milwaukee. Thinking about
what you just said, Mandy,I can't remember. I've been following politics.
(04:09):
I remember as a little kid thenineteen eighty convention was in Detroit for
the Republican Party in Ronald Reagan fromthat point forward, as a president,
sitting president, even a nominee everaddressed the convention on the Monday before and
then also that Thursday. I don'tthink so. I don't think this has
ever been done before because what itis normally this you know, you're ginning
(04:30):
up excitement Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You kind of have also
rans and people that are trying tomake their name in the party on Monday
and Tuesday, and then you kindof get more important people on Wednesday and
Thursday. There's like a you know, a system here, and Trump is
throwing that system right out the window. But I think in light of what
happened on Saturday, I don't blamehim. I think it's going to be
(04:51):
a good move. People want tohear from him, Yeah, and it
gins up interest in the convention,and therefore it drinks gins up interest in
the Republican Party. Ben Shapiro wasspeaking with Speaker Johnson earlier today and he
was talking about the vibe, thefeel, the mood there after the assassination
attempt, on how different it mighthave been if it hadn't happened, from
(05:13):
what the mood would be there inMilwaukee on this Monday. Now that Donald
Trump is going to speak tonight,which that was breaking news on this program,
I get the feeling, Mandy andfeel free to counter it that this
is going to be Trump's moment,much like George W. Bush when he
went out to throw the first catchon after nine to eleven at Yankee Stadium.
The reaction to Trump tonight it's goingto be electric. I cannot wait
(05:35):
as a matter of fact, we'reheading over. We're actually in Panther Arena
where media row is set up,and then we're going to walk over to
the Five Star Forum, which iswhere all of the delegates are currently,
and we're going to say and we'regoing to watch the speech night a ron.
We're both exhausted, first of all, because we flew here this morning
and we're so tired. But weboth are like, oh, we have
(05:57):
to be there. We have tobe in the room when this speech is
livered. So it's gonna be anincredible night. I mean, here's my
question, and this is gonna soundso ridiculous to even ask, but think
about it for a second. Doeshe show up bandaged and what does that
look like? Does he look likea van go painting where his entire ear
is covered or is it just likea series of little band aids kind of
(06:17):
you know, covering up whatever stitches. Do you go for the drama of
the large band aid or you justtry to be like, I'm such a
badass, I don't even need aband aid. I'm just gonna come out
here and just and you know,show you my ear. I mean I
think that in and of itself iskind of interesting. We talked about Mandy
how the campaign might change, buthow this might change Donald Trump himself,
(06:40):
you know, having what is literallya near death experience. He's invoked God
a couple of times that but forthe grace of God is why he's alive.
Do you see that maybe happening eitherin tonight's speech and or on Thursday.
Well, you know, Ronald Reagan, after his assassination attempt, very
much turned to his faith, andhis faith was deepened greatly by that entire
(07:03):
experience. Now, luckily Trump wasnot injured as significantly as Ronald Reagan was,
but nonetheless knowing that had he notturned his head. When he turned
his head, that bully would havegone into his brain instead of his ear.
I mean, that's a very soberingexperience, one that I hoped to
never have. I don't ever wantto have that. But we'll have to
(07:26):
wait and see how this all playsout. I wouldn't be surprised. I
mean, I would like to thinkthat if it happened to you or me,
Ryan, that's probably what we woulddo. You know, we'll just
have to see how this all playsout and how it affects the Man.
I think that's a great question though. Ryan. Finally, I know we
got only one minute left with you, man, before he got to ship
you out of media road there.What do you anticipate these next coming days?
(07:46):
What can we expect either listening toyour show or with your visits with
me? We have so many guests, Ryan, We had so many great
guests today. It is going tobe probably more guests heavy than my show
has ever been because there are somany many incredible people wandering around this convention.
And so I'll have the latest updates. If there's obviously anything political that
(08:09):
you need to know about, I'llhave that for you. But I just
want to continue bringing the flavor ofwhat's going on here because this is an
incredible experience and a vast majority ofus will never remotely come close to being
able to be here participate in this. I mean, obviously I'm not a
voting delegate, but just having theability to be here on the ground,
and I hope I do a goodjob letting everyone back in Colorado know exactly
(08:31):
how it feels and what's happening,and I hope we can translate that on
the radio. I think you areand you definitely brought Milwaukee back home from
the Upper Midwest to this guy,Mandy, and thanks for doing that.
And I already had some cheese curds. Okay, in case you were wondering,
I have already had some cheese curds, Rob Dawson, because we were
starving, and I was like,get me some cheese curts and at Wisconsin
meatstick maybe coming into my future herein just a minute. So it's all
(08:54):
about the meat and cheese this week, Ryan, meat and cheese. All
right, We'll let you get tothose process foods and we'll talk to you
again tomorrow. Mandy. All right, Ryan, talk to you later.
Mandy Conna live from Milwaukee there andwe'll take your text five seven seven three
nine. Lot happening on this program, and of course Dan Kaplis will follow
us. We haven't even gotten toa lot of the topic that's I think
(09:16):
top of mind today, which isthe Classified Documents case in Florida has been
thrown out by Judge Eileen Cannon,and she cites both the appropriations clause,
which would have to go with fundingthe prosecution of Donald Trump and how that
would happen, as well as theappointment clause of the US Constitution, which
(09:37):
this should have been I thought addressedand remedied right up front. Ted Cruz
made this point. I mean monthsago. Jack Smith was just arbitrarily by
FIAT, declared and appointed by MerrickGarland, circumventing the usual process in the
United States Senate, which requires aconfirmation by a vote of the Senate,
(09:58):
and appointment by Joe Biden. Thatcould be any judge for any courtroom across
America that is federal, any appointmentto his cabinet, et cetera. They
all have to go through that technicalprocess of Senate confirmation, hearings and a
vote, and Jack Smith never was. It was just not here's Jack Smith.
Like, whoa wait a minute,pal, You can't just parachute in
(10:22):
and have ultimate power and authority,be unaccountable to anyone, and prosecute the
chief political opponent for the person currentlyin office. I mean, think about
it. What I just laid out, Who is the existential threat to democracy?
If we're going to throw that termaround, it's not Donald Trump,
(10:43):
It's Joe Biden. This guy hasjust run roughshot over our constitution twice.
When it comes to student loans.He didn't like the Supreme Court decision,
so he just wasn't going to abideby it, and he was gonna do
what he wanted anyway. I mean, is this really the guy that is
bringing back normal sea to Washington?This is what we can expect. Plus,
I found it very rich that JoeBiden addresses the nation. And first
(11:07):
of all, if you noticed,he kept referring to the former president as
Donald Trump. I spoke to DonaldTrump earlier. Again, I'm having to
really filter myself. What I'm happyabout, though, is Kelly and Alexa
and Frandy and Christian. They gota taste. They got a taste of
the off era version of me.And it's a little saltier, I'm gonna
(11:28):
say, but winnowing in the nerve, the gall the audacity for Joe Biden
to come out and disrespect the formerpresident of the United States by just talk
to Donald Trump. He's the formerpresident, Jack refer to him as such.
If you're the one returning us tonormal seat he's not, then he
should abide by the norms that hepurports to represent, which of course he
(11:54):
does not. And he never includedhimself in the analysis that the temperature of
the rhetoric has to come down.Are you kidding me with some of this
audio? I mean, there areso many examples, and I just go
back to Detroit Friday, this pastFriday, the day before Donald Trump was
(12:15):
almost assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania.President Biden said this to the assembled Detroit
crowd most importantly, and I meanthis from the bottom of heart. Trump
is a threat to this nation.I quote most importantly, and I mean
this from the bottom of my heart. Trump is a threat to this nation.
(12:37):
You blank in You know what I'mthinking, because you're thinking it too,
and you're feeling it too. Thisguy spoke the flames of hatred,
of caricaturing Donald Trump, of demonizingDonald Trump, of dehumanizing Donald Trump to
the point where the powder keg hadbeen provided enough sparks that some luned was
(13:00):
gonna let loose and take a shotat DJT. And that's what happened.
And I'm not gonna walk this fineline. WHOA The political rhetorica never is
a direct link to violence. They'vebeen doing it year after year for almost
ten years now, against Donald Trump, calling him orange Hitler, calling him
an existential threat to democracy, whichhe is assuredly not and they know it,
(13:26):
but they have to resort to thegood old fashioned playbook and tricks of
the Democratic Party, which is usingfear mongering to stoke the flames. Talk
to the average person out there.Christian and I had this conversation over the
weekend. Your typical TDS afflicted familymember or friend. They don't know jack
crap. They are fed what theywant to hear. They are looking for
(13:52):
a sugar high. They don't careif Rachel Madda lies to them for years
about Russian collusion or lies to themabout Donald trum Trumps tax returns. They're
just looking for that next sugar high. Oh, the Muller investigation. This
absolute twit on Twitter. She goesby still and I don't know how this
is. She can't even look atherself in the mirror. Muller. She
(14:13):
wrote, that's her handle on theTwitter because Robert Muller. If you'll recall
Chelsea Handler was having sexual fantasies abouthim, Remember that she was vocalizing that
he was going to be the oneto bring Trump down. The lawfair was
going to be what brought Donald Trumpdown, this existential threat to democracy.
That didn't work. Tucker Carlson wasso right, Tucker Carlson was so right.
(14:39):
And let's go back to that clip. This was part of my opening
montage to start the show. Startwith protests against you, massive protests,
organized protests by the left, andthen it moved to impeachment twice and now
indictment. I mean the next stageis violence. Is are you worried that
they're going to try and kill you? Why wouldn't they try and kill you?
Honestly? Uh, savage animals.They are people that are sick,
(15:03):
really sick. You have great peoplein the Democrat Party. You have great
people that are Democrats. Most ofthe people in our country are fantastic and
I'm representing everybody. I'm not justRepublican. But I've seen what they do.
I've seen the lengths that they goto. But these people are sick
people. These are people that Ithink they hate our country. You want
(15:24):
to know the truth. You keeprepeating the same narrative, and the simple
minds out there are going to believeit because they want to believe it.
They want to believe that Donald Trumpis the boogeyman, that he's a monster,
that he's going to end democracy,that will never have another election if
Donald Trump wins in November. Thiswas irresponsible, reprehensible behavior by people who
(15:48):
should know better. And I'm goingto go through all the receipts here,
all the ones that I was ableto collect in just a few minutes earlier
today, Rick Wilson, the LincolnProject, and just sit back on the
sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry, this will all work
itself out. They're still going tohave to go out and put a bullet
in Donald Trump. Senator Tammy Baldwinway back in twenty sixteen, Democrat Wisconsin.
(16:11):
We are talking about somebody who,as we've watched Donald Trump throughout the
course of this campaign, he's showedhow dark his soul is. But now
he is proving him to himself tobe a truly dangerous man, and he
cannot and will not be the president. If he's a truly dangerous man,
then it would make sense that byany means necessary, including assassinating him in
(16:32):
Butler, Pennsylvania, that would bethe remedy. Right, you got to
stop this guy, however you canlaw fair. If that doesn't work,
you know, beating him at thebattle box, as Joe Biden said,
if that doesn't work, Well,you got to take him out. There's
no other choice. We don't havea choice as Americans, is what these
lunatics are telling you. Representative DanGoldman, Democrat in New York within the
last month or so, just unquestionableat this point that that man cannot see
(16:56):
public office again. He is notunfit. He is destructive to our democracy,
and he has to be He hasto be eliminated, eliminated. Well,
how would one go about doing that? Representative Goldman eliminated? How about
Representative Nancy Pelosi? Just days beforethe assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, some people
(17:19):
are saying, because Donald Trump issuch an authoritarian, an autocrat, we
have to win this election. Thisis not a normal election where you want
to win. If you don't,you cooperate and do the best you can
for the country and hope to winthe next time. This is something that
(17:40):
is undermining our democracy and he mustbe stopped. He cannot be president.
He must be stopped. He cannotbe president. Well, okay, then
I'm going to take matters into myown hands. Worst of all, worse
than all of those, here's Clairemccaskell. A lot of people have tried
to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitlerand the use of the terminology like vermin
(18:03):
and the drive that those men hadtowards autocracy and dictatorship. The difference though,
I think McDonald Trump even more dangerous. This absolute simpleton. Claire mccaskell
just told you that Donald Trump iseven more dangerous than Adolf Hitler or Benito
(18:26):
Mussolini. Ste on that break nowback after this on six point thirty k
Houn. We're halfway through July,we're not quite halfway through summer, and
there's a lot of hot weather ahead. So turn the Master Services. If
you need that brand new air conditioningunit. You've been putting it off,
maybe even saving up money, andnow you're ready to get one. Well,
(18:48):
you want to turn to the greatestservice at the guaranteed lowest price,
and they can get you into abrand new air conditioner starting under three thousand
dollars. Now they do resident dentialas well as commercial and you can find
out more by giving them a call. You might not need their services just
yet, but better to be safethan sorry, and better to find that
(19:10):
out. And you could do witha phone call at seven to two oh
four thirty four thirty four oh six. That's seven two zero four to three
four three four zero six. Andwhat you'll find when you give them a
call, they'll come on out.They're available twenty four to seven to give
you feedback if you've got a reallyimminent urgent issue and they'll put that repair
(19:32):
on. They can repair a sewerline, plumbing, leak, your your
run of the mill h VAC unit. They got everything. They got their
own excavation team. And you canfind them online too, Master Router Dot
Plumbing for Master Services. That's MasterRouter Dot Plumbing for Master Services, and
tell them Ryan sent you. Ijust want to say though, that this
(19:53):
a legend, this shooter. Hewas a registered Republican. He also donated
fifteen to Acts Blue in twenty twentyone, which is an odd thing,
But he was a Republican. That'san odd thing. And there's like no
Republican I know would ever donate anickel to Act Blue or Vote Blue or
(20:14):
whatever the blue. He donated onthe day this shooter is twenty years old,
on the day Joe Biden was electedto progressive causes that would go out
and curate more voters for Democrats.Sounds like a Republican than me. Shandon
was making this point during the break, and it's very true. A lot
of Democrats, especially in this electioncycle, they crossed over signed up to
(20:37):
be Republicans, like the state ofPennsylvania, for instance, where you have
to be a registered member of saidparty to vote in said primary. And
if you wanted to stop Donald Trumpthat way, you would have voted for
Nicki Haley maybe. And there wasa lot of that Shenanigan's going on in
Pennsylvania and some of the other statesNew Hampshire to try to boost up Haley's
profile, and when that didn't work, the shooter apparently resorted to violence.
(21:03):
We don't know a lot about motiveat this point, but it's hilarious.
I saw some of my so calledfriends on Facebook trying to make this point.
It was a registered Republican, like, okay, so that makes it
okay? Or why does that matter? You know, this guy was obviously
motivated by hate. He didn't shootDonald Trump because he liked him, Okay.
So we'll start with that one.But the desperation on the left right
(21:27):
now is palpable. As we getto some of the polls, let's get
to some numbers real quick. MichiganMRG poll. This is pretty reliable.
In my home state, Trump plusthree. And now all these numbers,
again are before before the Nasian assassinationattempt on Saturday. When I look through
(21:48):
all the Senate races, they're allblue. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Nevada, Michigan, Arizona. They'reall blue. And the margins in this
the Times say poll. I don'tknow the variacity of that. But why
that matters is despite the fact thatthese Democrat candidates have substantial leads in these
(22:11):
polls, I'm seeing plus seven,plus nine, plus twelve, plus seven
plus eight, same states, samepolls, Donald Trump up in all of
them, up in every one ofthese states, plus five in Wisconsin,
plus three in Pennsylvania, plus fourNorth Carolina plus four Nevada, plus two
in Michigan, plus four in Georgia, plus seven in Arizona. New York
(22:36):
Times Siena polls out today in Pennsylvaniaand Virginia. Biden plus three in Virginia,
plus two with the third party candidatesKennedy Stein West. That's a reason
why I thought that Trump might goGlenn Youngkin and it sounds like Youngkin was
right down to like the final twoalong with JD. Vans. Because Doug
(22:59):
Bergham and Marco Rubio had been toldearlier in the day that it wasn't them.
They weren't getting that. It endedup being Vance. But I think
Youngkin was in there right up untilthe very end, and that might have
pushed Trump over the finish line.In Virginia, you still might win it.
I still think it's possible, andjust that I'm saying that is very
encouraging for Donald Trump. Pennsylvania,same pool, New York Times, Siena
(23:21):
again before the shooting, Trump plusthree plus two with the third party candidates.
Pennsylvania, like Michigan, those aretwo of the states where the presence
of the third party candidates actually dragsTrump down a little bit. And I'm
trying to figure that one out.Let's go to your text, Ryan,
eliminating, you know, by notelecting him president, stopped spreading hate.
(23:45):
Oh hey, you mean like abullet going through the ear of Donald Trump,
like that kind of hate. E'reokay with the term eliminating. I
mean everything I just played for you? Are you okay with Claire mccaskell,
saying that Trump is worse than Mussoliniand Hitler. Come on, don't be
stupid, don't be an idiotic moron, and try to tell me that that's
(24:08):
one okay, or two that that'sevensane. Think about the millions of people
that Adolf Hitler killed Mussolini too forthat part, But the trains ran on
time, Ryan, What is worseBiden calling him Donald Trump or Trump calling
Biden all the juvenile nicknames he makesup for him. I'll take the juvenile
(24:30):
nicknames over an assassination attempt, becauseDonald Trump has not called for that.
Donald Trump has said you won't havea country if you vote for Joe Biden.
And what he means by that,and he explains it in his stump
speeches, is that the country notgoing to recognize it anymore time, about
the borders being wide open, thatthe country will be beyond the pale,
(24:51):
beyond the rubicon, beyond the pointof no return, beyond being able to
fix it. And that's always beenhis kind of hall to his followers,
is you know, we're gonna makeAmerica great again again, that better days
are ahead, that he's got theplans and policies to make things better.
When's the last time Joe Biden wentout there and seriously ran on his own
(25:14):
record. He can't. He can'tbecause he's terrible. He's an awful president,
and he's only resorted to what hedoes best, the fear rhetoric,
the scare mongering tactics. He toldan assembled group of black voters in twenty
twelve that Mitt Romney he's gonna putyou all back in Shane's So come on,
(25:36):
he's gonna say that about Mitt Romney, then of course he's going to
resort to whatever he can do tograsp on the power and hold on in
his rhetoric against Donald Trump. Now, I did see during this last break,
Lester Holt really went after Joe Bidenappears in an NBC interview that will
air tonight on the rhetoric question andthe chiron I saw and it's not up
(26:00):
there right now on Fox News,says Biden admits it was a mistake to
say bullseye to discuss Trump. Now, at least we got that out of
him, but it doesn't change thefact that, of course the Democrats were
trying to sell that to American votersto scare them. You know, Trump
again, he has become this caricaturethat he just doesn't resemble in real life.
(26:26):
Ask yourself, you know, wouldShannon, would Kelly? Would I
vote for Donald Trump if I reallythought there was a chance he was a
fascist who was going to end democracyand there would never be another election?
Or do you think that we're stupidenough that we would vote for Trump and
then that would happen anyway? Ohjeez, I really got fooled. The
(26:47):
point of the matter is it's notgoing to happen. And you know it's
not going to happen if you're honestwith yourself, and if you're honest with
me, just be honest. That'snot going to happen. The country was
better under Donald Trump, and itwill be better under Donald Trump. And
you heard me tell Ross flat out. Trump's going to win and everything's going
to be okay, and in fact, everything's going to be a hell of
(27:10):
a lot better. We'll get toyour text around up the show five,
seven, seven, three nine,start those Ryan. The Republican National Convention
continues for Milwaukee again. The breakingnews today, We've had not enough breaking
news over in the last forty eighthours. Has there been but Senator JD.
Vance. He is the running mateofficially now on the ticket with Donald
Trump. Your thoughts on that,your reaction to Vance being a part of
(27:30):
the ticket five seven seven three nine, start them Ryan back with that after
this on six point thirty km,Donald Trump doajah bullet, But he did
thought claim one America dodge bullet lastnight, America dodgea bullet, because if
that thing had been a quarter inchover, you would have had an assassination.
(27:52):
And then I don't know how hiscountry comes back from that, because
half the country would have felt thatthe other half of the country took took
the leader. And if only asmall percentage of those people felt that means
we're in a war. You havemillions of people ready to do to shoot
back. And so I was proudof Biden. I thought his tone was
right. I hope Promp also mentionsit. But this is not just yesterday.
(28:15):
We've been moving in this direction fora long time and we need a
U turn. It's Van Jones fromCNN. I disagree with him a lot.
I think he's a sincere person,and I think Van Jones is a
good person, and I value whathe has to say. And I thought
that was very well thought out andreacting, of course, to the assassination
attempt against Donald Trump over the weekend. Ryan shuling with you closing out today's
(28:37):
program on six point thirty k howthe Dan Campis Show to follow by thanks
to Mandy Connell joining us live fromMilwaukee and the Republican National Convention where today,
Senator j. D. Vance wasnamed as the official running mate for
Donald Trump on the ticket to bethe next vice president of the United States.
He would be the second youngest vicepresident in the history of the country.
(29:00):
He's only thirty nine years old.He'll be forty in August, so
one month from now. I likehim. I liked till Billy Elegy.
I think he's got a great storyto tell. He's from the Upper Midwest,
like a lot of us. He'sa rouss spelt guy. He's from
humble and modest beginnings. I thinkhe'd be a fine vice president. That
(29:21):
said, I do question his wisdomand judgment as I would any thirty nine
year old. I'm forty nine andI'm not that wise at this point.
I'm still trying to acquire what Iwould consider to be wisdom and trying to
exercise judgment, and by that Imeeter it out. I measure it out
when I go back to twenty sixteen, and I had severe doubts about Donald
(29:41):
Trump. A lot of us did. A lot of us were late to
the party. Few of us cansay we were like Kelly and like we're
Trump as soon as he came downthe escalator. There are some that were
like that, But I was not. As I've told you many times,
I have followed Donald Trump my entirelife. He's been an icon has it's
been a superstar, he's been acelebrity. He's been the epitome in the
(30:03):
example of wealth in the eighties,you would say, I want to be
like Donald Trump. You know,lifestyles of the rich and famous. He
was kind of the poster child forthat in the eighties, of success and
what it meant success by excess inthe eighties. Now, the eighties had
its ups and downs, but oneof them was Reaganomics. You know,
greed is good Gordon Gecko, MichaelDouglas and Wall Street. And in some
(30:26):
ways greed is good. Greed notnecessarily for the sense of just self actualization
and fulfillment and enrichment, but greedby the effort, the focus, the
tenacity, the impetus, the motivationto go out there and win. And
that's what we were taught, Ithink as gen xers growing up in the
(30:47):
eighties and nineties, it was ameritocracy. You busted your ass, you
worked hard, you made your ownluck, and you won. I experienced
that. I've experienced my share oflosses and setbacks two but I have relied
on my own guts and guile anddetermination, helped out by a mom that
(31:07):
was a wonderful teacher when I wasvery little, and I think I've gotten
pretty far. Nobody gave me anything, and that's where I really resent a
lot of this entitlement mentality of you'reowed something, you're owed nothing, You're
entitled to blank. Tony Soprano saidon one of the episodes of The Sopranos,
You're entitled to nothing in this world. You come out of it,
(31:30):
you make you pack your own shoot. My biology teacher, mister Bob Stowe
used to tell us, and that'strue. Here is where I question jd
Vance a bit with his judgment andwisdom. Now this was probably what nine
years ago, maybe eight, andit's a post where he sends a message
(31:52):
to a friend about Donald Trump,and it reads as follows quote but I'm
not surprised by Trump's rise, andI think the entire party has only itself
to blame. We are, whetherwe like it or not, the party
of lower income, lower education whitepeople, and I have been saying for
a long time that we need tooffer those people something parenthetical and hell,
(32:15):
maybe even expand our appeal to workingclass black people in the process. And
parentheses or a demagogue would. Sowe got to offer these people something or
a demagogue would. So he's lamentingthe fact that Republican Party hadn't done that,
and Trump kind of beat him tothe punch. Well, there's a
reason why Donald Trump happened. Isn'tthere an establishment type for years like John
(32:37):
McCain didn't do the trick and acorporate stark shirt Mitt Romney was not appealing.
So why did Donald Trump happen?Exactly what I just said and exactly
what Jade Vance is saying here,But he continues, quote, we are
now at that point. Trump isthe fruit of the party's collective neglect.
(32:59):
I go back and between thinking Trumpis a cynical a hole like Nixon,
who wouldn't be that bad and mighteven prove useful, or that he's America's
Hitler. How's that for discouraging.Now that's from JD. Vance and it's
from nine years ago, which ifI'm doing my math correctly, would put
him at about thirty years old,you know, still not very old,
(33:19):
especially by political standards. And maybehe was just basing his judgment on Trump
on a small sample size. Butwhere I part with him was, I
was a Rubio guy in twenty sixteen. I'm not as fond of Marco now
as I was then. There werereasons Cuban Kennedy. I thought he was
young, charismatic, bilingual, firstgeneration American. I could relate to him.
(33:43):
We're about the same age. We'reboth first generation Americans, me and
my mom's side. And I likeda lot of what he represented, and
I liked him when I met himin Grand Rapids. But he didn't have
the gusto right. Donald Trump flattenedhim in the debates. Heck, Chris
Christy did too, Hampshire. Butwhen Trump dugged him, little Marco,
(34:04):
if that was it, it waslike a low energy Jeb needs an exclamation
point. And so now jd Vanceis all on the Trump train, and
he's Team Trump and Maga, andhe's considered like Trump's mini me or Trump's
junior or whatever, or like thethird Trump son, the fourth Trump's son.
You you got Don Junior, yougot Eric, you got Baron.
(34:25):
Here's the adopted JD Vance and he'sgonna be on the ticket. So you
know, everybody makes mistakes, andmaybe it's kind of like were you lying
then or you're lying now? Orwere you wrong then or were you wrong
now? So I think he's gotto square that circle. And now that
he's in the campaign, he'll haveto answer for this, like, well,
hey, you said Trump might beAmerica's Hitler? What did you mean
(34:46):
by that? Why do you nolonger think that those questions are coming and
he should have to answer for them. But I would give the choice of
JD Vance a grade of let's say, a B minus, not really excited
about it. I'm not sure itreally matters a whole lot at this point.
I think Glenn Youngkin could have mattered. I could have put Trump over
the top. But there's a somethingout jd. It looks like a young
(35:08):
Abraham Lincoln. I like his beard, Okay, bray kill Mead was doing
an interview with Trump, and that'swhat he said. So let's go to
the text five seven seven three nine, Ryan and Mandy. I'll say that
Trump shows up tonight without any bandages, then says I don't need no stinking
bandages. That's from Andy. Well, that'd be funny and beat a reference
(35:28):
to a movie and it'd be atappropriate at propos. Oh, very funny
text here, Ryan. If therace is close, I think it'll be
like a horse race and Trump willwin by an ear. Ha. It's
funny now because we can all laughabout it and it's ober. But remain
very serious in our mindset about DonaldTrump, who nearly missed assassination on Saturday.
(35:52):
May God be with Donald Trump.Pray for the man if you can
please, because they're not gonna stopcoming after him. Dan Caplis is next.
Ryan Schuling here at six thirty khowf
That's right. We go from Denverto Milwaukee, Wisconsin or Milliwaukee, as
Alice Cooper told us in Wayne's WorldAlgonquin for friendly People, the good Land,
No, Mandy, the good Land. Really, I thought it was
the Land of the friendly People.I need to go rewatch that movie.
You know, we could do likea trivia night and that would be one
of the multiple choice answers. Whatyou said, but it had a wrong
(00:23):
answer. I think I believe so, Yeah, is it really beautiful there?
Though it is? Well? Youhave you ever been to Milwaukee?
I have many times. Yep.It's a great city. I mean,
it's just a great city. Butright now, Ryan, the zone,
the security zone is so big thatthey have essentially cut off all access to
everything in downtown Milwaukee. If youdon't have a badge, if you don't
(00:44):
have credentials, you can forget aboutgoing most places in Milwaukee. North of
whatever that big road is that kindof cuts the city in half. Everything
is shut. It's the security hereis insanely tight. And I've never been
to a convention to compare, youknow, conventions of this, but holy
mackerel, you can't swing a deadcat without hitting a guy with a long
gun. Mandy Connell joining us fromKoa. She is live on media row
(01:08):
there. Jd Vance Senator Ohio.He has accepted Trump's VP nomination and will
run on the ticket. Amanda,your thoughts on that choice and why you
think Trump made it? You know, I really think it comes down to
he likes him, and I thinkthat Trump, who knows he's only gonna
be run in office for four moreyears, right, he's term limited after
(01:29):
that. I think he looked forsomeone that he thought could carry the mantle
of Trump policies forward, right likehe If Jade Vance runs for president in
four years and has the fortune toget elected, then I think Trump is
more certain that that person will takethe Trump agenda, the Trump political viewpoints,
and continue with that. And Ithink that's why he chose him.
(01:52):
Because jd Vance, I mean,he is from Ohio, he underperformed a
little bit compared to the Republican governor. He's not as popular by a long
shot in Ohio as Trump is.I think, so the strategic nature of
that feels less important on this one. And I honestly think Ryan he feels
Trump feels like he got burned inthe last go round by Mike Pension was
(02:16):
not like Donald Trump at all,and he still, I think, feels
very bitter about that, and sohe went with someone who is someone he
understands, someone he likes, someonewho has the same ideology he has,
and that he's comfortable with. MandyConell joining us live from Milwaukee, scene
of the Republican National Convention, whereJade Vance we're talking about him will be
(02:39):
the VP nominee on the ticket withDonald Trump. So you talked about how
security may have changed in the wakeof the events of Saturday. Mandy,
your take on how the race haschanged after the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
I talked about it earlier. Ryan. I don't see how Trump doesn't
win just because, oh the guygot shot, we should vote for him.
(03:01):
But I think that so many peoplewere so horrified at the notion that
there was an assassination attempt against apolitical candidate, and thank god it wasn't
successful. But it's so horrifying tothink that that is where our political discourse
has devolved. And I know thatwe know that Trump is going to speak
(03:23):
tonight at eight o'clock Mountain time.We're going to carry that on KOA and
the scuttle but here is that heis going to strike a very conciliatory tone
and sort of go with the youknow, we all need to be more
unified, and not just Republicans buteveryone. And so it's going to be
(03:45):
very interesting to see what he doestonight because he's also going to be giving
a speech Thursday night when he acceptsthe nomination. And I think it's going
to be interesting to see how thosetwo speeches compare and how they move the
campaign forward from today on. MandyConnell KOA Live from Milwaukee. Thinking about
what you just said, Mandy,I can't remember. I've been following politics.
(04:09):
I remember as a little kid thenineteen eighty convention was in Detroit for
the Republican Party in Ronald Reagan fromthat point forward, as a president,
sitting president, even a nominee everaddressed the convention on the Monday before and
then also that Thursday. I don'tthink so. I don't think this has
ever been done before because what itis normally this you know, you're ginning
(04:30):
up excitement Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You kind of have also
rans and people that are trying tomake their name in the party on Monday
and Tuesday, and then you kindof get more important people on Wednesday and
Thursday. There's like a you know, a system here, and Trump is
throwing that system right out the window. But I think in light of what
happened on Saturday, I don't blamehim. I think it's going to be
(04:51):
a good move. People want tohear from him, Yeah, and it
gins up interest in the convention,and therefore it drinks gins up interest in
the Republican Party. Ben Shapiro wasspeaking with Speaker Johnson earlier today and he
was talking about the vibe, thefeel, the mood there after the assassination
attempt, on how different it mighthave been if it hadn't happened, from
(05:13):
what the mood would be there inMilwaukee on this Monday. Now that Donald
Trump is going to speak tonight,which that was breaking news on this program,
I get the feeling, Mandy andfeel free to counter it that this
is going to be Trump's moment,much like George W. Bush when he
went out to throw the first catchon after nine to eleven at Yankee Stadium.
The reaction to Trump tonight it's goingto be electric. I cannot wait
(05:35):
as a matter of fact, we'reheading over. We're actually in Panther Arena
where media row is set up,and then we're going to walk over to
the Five Star Forum, which iswhere all of the delegates are currently,
and we're going to say and we'regoing to watch the speech night a ron.
We're both exhausted, first of all, because we flew here this morning
and we're so tired. But weboth are like, oh, we have
(05:57):
to be there. We have tobe in the room when this speech is
livered. So it's gonna be anincredible night. I mean, here's my
question, and this is gonna soundso ridiculous to even ask, but think
about it for a second. Doeshe show up bandaged and what does that
look like? Does he look likea van go painting where his entire ear
is covered or is it just likea series of little band aids kind of
(06:17):
you know, covering up whatever stitches. Do you go for the drama of
the large band aid or you justtry to be like, I'm such a
badass, I don't even need aband aid. I'm just gonna come out
here and just and you know,show you my ear. I mean I
think that in and of itself iskind of interesting. We talked about Mandy
how the campaign might change, buthow this might change Donald Trump himself,
(06:40):
you know, having what is literallya near death experience. He's invoked God
a couple of times that but forthe grace of God is why he's alive.
Do you see that maybe happening eitherin tonight's speech and or on Thursday.
Well, you know, Ronald Reagan, after his assassination attempt, very
much turned to his faith, andhis faith was deepened greatly by that entire
(07:03):
experience. Now, luckily Trump wasnot injured as significantly as Ronald Reagan was,
but nonetheless knowing that had he notturned his head. When he turned
his head, that bully would havegone into his brain instead of his ear.
I mean, that's a very soberingexperience, one that I hoped to
never have. I don't ever wantto have that. But we'll have to
(07:26):
wait and see how this all playsout. I wouldn't be surprised. I
mean, I would like to thinkthat if it happened to you or me,
Ryan, that's probably what we woulddo. You know, we'll just
have to see how this all playsout and how it affects the Man.
I think that's a great question though. Ryan. Finally, I know we
got only one minute left with you, man, before he got to ship
you out of media road there.What do you anticipate these next coming days?
(07:46):
What can we expect either listening toyour show or with your visits with
me? We have so many guests, Ryan, We had so many great
guests today. It is going tobe probably more guests heavy than my show
has ever been because there are somany many incredible people wandering around this convention.
And so I'll have the latest updates. If there's obviously anything political that
(08:09):
you need to know about, I'llhave that for you. But I just
want to continue bringing the flavor ofwhat's going on here because this is an
incredible experience and a vast majority ofus will never remotely come close to being
able to be here participate in this. I mean, obviously I'm not a
voting delegate, but just having theability to be here on the ground,
and I hope I do a goodjob letting everyone back in Colorado know exactly
(08:31):
how it feels and what's happening,and I hope we can translate that on
the radio. I think you areand you definitely brought Milwaukee back home from
the Upper Midwest to this guy,Mandy, and thanks for doing that.
And I already had some cheese curds. Okay, in case you were wondering,
I have already had some cheese curds, Rob Dawson, because we were
starving, and I was like,get me some cheese curts and at Wisconsin
meatstick maybe coming into my future herein just a minute. So it's all
(08:54):
about the meat and cheese this week, Ryan, meat and cheese. All
right, We'll let you get tothose process foods and we'll talk to you
again tomorrow. Mandy. All right, Ryan, talk to you later.
Mandy Conna live from Milwaukee there andwe'll take your text five seven seven three
nine. Lot happening on this program, and of course Dan Kaplis will follow
us. We haven't even gotten toa lot of the topic that's I think
(09:16):
top of mind today, which isthe Classified Documents case in Florida has been
thrown out by Judge Eileen Cannon,and she cites both the appropriations clause,
which would have to go with fundingthe prosecution of Donald Trump and how that
would happen, as well as theappointment clause of the US Constitution, which
(09:37):
this should have been I thought addressedand remedied right up front. Ted Cruz
made this point. I mean monthsago. Jack Smith was just arbitrarily by
FIAT, declared and appointed by MerrickGarland, circumventing the usual process in the
United States Senate, which requires aconfirmation by a vote of the Senate,
(09:58):
and appointment by Joe Biden. Thatcould be any judge for any courtroom across
America that is federal, any appointmentto his cabinet, et cetera. They
all have to go through that technicalprocess of Senate confirmation, hearings and a
vote, and Jack Smith never was. It was just not here's Jack Smith.
Like, whoa wait a minute,pal, You can't just parachute in
(10:22):
and have ultimate power and authority,be unaccountable to anyone, and prosecute the
chief political opponent for the person currentlyin office. I mean, think about
it. What I just laid out, Who is the existential threat to democracy?
If we're going to throw that termaround, it's not Donald Trump,
(10:43):
It's Joe Biden. This guy hasjust run roughshot over our constitution twice.
When it comes to student loans.He didn't like the Supreme Court decision,
so he just wasn't going to abideby it, and he was gonna do
what he wanted anyway. I mean, is this really the guy that is
bringing back normal sea to Washington?This is what we can expect. Plus,
I found it very rich that JoeBiden addresses the nation. And first
(11:07):
of all, if you noticed,he kept referring to the former president as
Donald Trump. I spoke to DonaldTrump earlier. Again, I'm having to
really filter myself. What I'm happyabout, though, is Kelly and Alexa
and Frandy and Christian. They gota taste. They got a taste of
the off era version of me.And it's a little saltier, I'm gonna
(11:28):
say, but winnowing in the nerve, the gall the audacity for Joe Biden
to come out and disrespect the formerpresident of the United States by just talk
to Donald Trump. He's the formerpresident, Jack refer to him as such.
If you're the one returning us tonormal seat he's not, then he
should abide by the norms that hepurports to represent, which of course he
(11:54):
does not. And he never includedhimself in the analysis that the temperature of
the rhetoric has to come down.Are you kidding me with some of this
audio? I mean, there areso many examples, and I just go
back to Detroit Friday, this pastFriday, the day before Donald Trump was
(12:15):
almost assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania.President Biden said this to the assembled Detroit
crowd most importantly, and I meanthis from the bottom of heart. Trump
is a threat to this nation.I quote most importantly, and I mean
this from the bottom of my heart. Trump is a threat to this nation.
(12:37):
You blank in You know what I'mthinking, because you're thinking it too,
and you're feeling it too. Thisguy spoke the flames of hatred,
of caricaturing Donald Trump, of demonizingDonald Trump, of dehumanizing Donald Trump to
the point where the powder keg hadbeen provided enough sparks that some luned was
(13:00):
gonna let loose and take a shotat DJT. And that's what happened.
And I'm not gonna walk this fineline. WHOA The political rhetorica never is
a direct link to violence. They'vebeen doing it year after year for almost
ten years now, against Donald Trump, calling him orange Hitler, calling him
an existential threat to democracy, whichhe is assuredly not and they know it,
(13:26):
but they have to resort to thegood old fashioned playbook and tricks of
the Democratic Party, which is usingfear mongering to stoke the flames. Talk
to the average person out there.Christian and I had this conversation over the
weekend. Your typical TDS afflicted familymember or friend. They don't know jack
crap. They are fed what theywant to hear. They are looking for
(13:52):
a sugar high. They don't careif Rachel Madda lies to them for years
about Russian collusion or lies to themabout Donald trum Trumps tax returns. They're
just looking for that next sugar high. Oh, the Muller investigation. This
absolute twit on Twitter. She goesby still and I don't know how this
is. She can't even look atherself in the mirror. Muller. She
(14:13):
wrote, that's her handle on theTwitter because Robert Muller. If you'll recall
Chelsea Handler was having sexual fantasies abouthim, Remember that she was vocalizing that
he was going to be the oneto bring Trump down. The lawfair was
going to be what brought Donald Trumpdown, this existential threat to democracy.
That didn't work. Tucker Carlson wasso right, Tucker Carlson was so right.
(14:39):
And let's go back to that clip. This was part of my opening
montage to start the show. Startwith protests against you, massive protests,
organized protests by the left, andthen it moved to impeachment twice and now
indictment. I mean the next stageis violence. Is are you worried that
they're going to try and kill you? Why wouldn't they try and kill you?
Honestly? Uh, savage animals.They are people that are sick,
(15:03):
really sick. You have great peoplein the Democrat Party. You have great
people that are Democrats. Most ofthe people in our country are fantastic and
I'm representing everybody. I'm not justRepublican. But I've seen what they do.
I've seen the lengths that they goto. But these people are sick
people. These are people that Ithink they hate our country. You want
(15:24):
to know the truth. You keeprepeating the same narrative, and the simple
minds out there are going to believeit because they want to believe it.
They want to believe that Donald Trumpis the boogeyman, that he's a monster,
that he's going to end democracy,that will never have another election if
Donald Trump wins in November. Thiswas irresponsible, reprehensible behavior by people who
(15:48):
should know better. And I'm goingto go through all the receipts here,
all the ones that I was ableto collect in just a few minutes earlier
today, Rick Wilson, the LincolnProject, and just sit back on the
sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry, this will all work
itself out. They're still going tohave to go out and put a bullet
in Donald Trump. Senator Tammy Baldwinway back in twenty sixteen, Democrat Wisconsin.
(16:11):
We are talking about somebody who,as we've watched Donald Trump throughout the
course of this campaign, he's showedhow dark his soul is. But now
he is proving him to himself tobe a truly dangerous man, and he
cannot and will not be the president. If he's a truly dangerous man,
then it would make sense that byany means necessary, including assassinating him in
(16:32):
Butler, Pennsylvania, that would bethe remedy. Right, you got to
stop this guy, however you canlaw fair. If that doesn't work,
you know, beating him at thebattle box, as Joe Biden said,
if that doesn't work, Well,you got to take him out. There's
no other choice. We don't havea choice as Americans, is what these
lunatics are telling you. Representative DanGoldman, Democrat in New York within the
last month or so, just unquestionableat this point that that man cannot see
(16:56):
public office again. He is notunfit. He is destructive to our democracy,
and he has to be He hasto be eliminated, eliminated. Well,
how would one go about doing that? Representative Goldman eliminated? How about
Representative Nancy Pelosi? Just days beforethe assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, some people
(17:19):
are saying, because Donald Trump issuch an authoritarian, an autocrat, we
have to win this election. Thisis not a normal election where you want
to win. If you don't,you cooperate and do the best you can
for the country and hope to winthe next time. This is something that
(17:40):
is undermining our democracy and he mustbe stopped. He cannot be president.
He must be stopped. He cannotbe president. Well, okay, then
I'm going to take matters into myown hands. Worst of all, worse
than all of those, here's Clairemccaskell. A lot of people have tried
to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitlerand the use of the terminology like vermin
(18:03):
and the drive that those men hadtowards autocracy and dictatorship. The difference though,
I think McDonald Trump even more dangerous. This absolute simpleton. Claire mccaskell
just told you that Donald Trump iseven more dangerous than Adolf Hitler or Benito
(18:26):
Mussolini. Ste on that break nowback after this on six point thirty k
Houn. We're halfway through July,we're not quite halfway through summer, and
there's a lot of hot weather ahead. So turn the Master Services. If
you need that brand new air conditioningunit. You've been putting it off,
maybe even saving up money, andnow you're ready to get one. Well,
(18:48):
you want to turn to the greatestservice at the guaranteed lowest price,
and they can get you into abrand new air conditioner starting under three thousand
dollars. Now they do resident dentialas well as commercial and you can find
out more by giving them a call. You might not need their services just
yet, but better to be safethan sorry, and better to find that
(19:10):
out. And you could do witha phone call at seven to two oh
four thirty four thirty four oh six. That's seven two zero four to three
four three four zero six. Andwhat you'll find when you give them a
call, they'll come on out.They're available twenty four to seven to give
you feedback if you've got a reallyimminent urgent issue and they'll put that repair
(19:32):
on. They can repair a sewerline, plumbing, leak, your your
run of the mill h VAC unit. They got everything. They got their
own excavation team. And you canfind them online too, Master Router Dot
Plumbing for Master Services. That's MasterRouter Dot Plumbing for Master Services, and
tell them Ryan sent you. Ijust want to say though, that this
(19:53):
a legend, this shooter. Hewas a registered Republican. He also donated
fifteen to Acts Blue in twenty twentyone, which is an odd thing,
But he was a Republican. That'san odd thing. And there's like no
Republican I know would ever donate anickel to Act Blue or Vote Blue or
(20:14):
whatever the blue. He donated onthe day this shooter is twenty years old,
on the day Joe Biden was electedto progressive causes that would go out
and curate more voters for Democrats.Sounds like a Republican than me. Shandon
was making this point during the break, and it's very true. A lot
of Democrats, especially in this electioncycle, they crossed over signed up to
(20:37):
be Republicans, like the state ofPennsylvania, for instance, where you have
to be a registered member of saidparty to vote in said primary. And
if you wanted to stop Donald Trumpthat way, you would have voted for
Nicki Haley maybe. And there wasa lot of that Shenanigan's going on in
Pennsylvania and some of the other statesNew Hampshire to try to boost up Haley's
profile, and when that didn't work, the shooter apparently resorted to violence.
(21:03):
We don't know a lot about motiveat this point, but it's hilarious.
I saw some of my so calledfriends on Facebook trying to make this point.
It was a registered Republican, like, okay, so that makes it
okay? Or why does that matter? You know, this guy was obviously
motivated by hate. He didn't shootDonald Trump because he liked him, Okay.
So we'll start with that one.But the desperation on the left right
(21:27):
now is palpable. As we getto some of the polls, let's get
to some numbers real quick. MichiganMRG poll. This is pretty reliable.
In my home state, Trump plusthree. And now all these numbers,
again are before before the Nasian assassinationattempt on Saturday. When I look through
(21:48):
all the Senate races, they're allblue. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Nevada, Michigan, Arizona. They'reall blue. And the margins in this
the Times say poll. I don'tknow the variacity of that. But why
that matters is despite the fact thatthese Democrat candidates have substantial leads in these
(22:11):
polls, I'm seeing plus seven,plus nine, plus twelve, plus seven
plus eight, same states, samepolls, Donald Trump up in all of
them, up in every one ofthese states, plus five in Wisconsin,
plus three in Pennsylvania, plus fourNorth Carolina plus four Nevada, plus two
in Michigan, plus four in Georgia, plus seven in Arizona. New York
(22:36):
Times Siena polls out today in Pennsylvaniaand Virginia. Biden plus three in Virginia,
plus two with the third party candidatesKennedy Stein West. That's a reason
why I thought that Trump might goGlenn Youngkin and it sounds like Youngkin was
right down to like the final twoalong with JD. Vans. Because Doug
(22:59):
Bergham and Marco Rubio had been toldearlier in the day that it wasn't them.
They weren't getting that. It endedup being Vance. But I think
Youngkin was in there right up untilthe very end, and that might have
pushed Trump over the finish line.In Virginia, you still might win it.
I still think it's possible, andjust that I'm saying that is very
encouraging for Donald Trump. Pennsylvania,same pool, New York Times, Siena
(23:21):
again before the shooting, Trump plusthree plus two with the third party candidates.
Pennsylvania, like Michigan, those aretwo of the states where the presence
of the third party candidates actually dragsTrump down a little bit. And I'm
trying to figure that one out.Let's go to your text, Ryan,
eliminating, you know, by notelecting him president, stopped spreading hate.
(23:45):
Oh hey, you mean like abullet going through the ear of Donald Trump,
like that kind of hate. E'reokay with the term eliminating. I
mean everything I just played for you? Are you okay with Claire mccaskell,
saying that Trump is worse than Mussoliniand Hitler. Come on, don't be
stupid, don't be an idiotic moron, and try to tell me that that's
(24:08):
one okay, or two that that'sevensane. Think about the millions of people
that Adolf Hitler killed Mussolini too forthat part, But the trains ran on
time, Ryan, What is worseBiden calling him Donald Trump or Trump calling
Biden all the juvenile nicknames he makesup for him. I'll take the juvenile
(24:30):
nicknames over an assassination attempt, becauseDonald Trump has not called for that.
Donald Trump has said you won't havea country if you vote for Joe Biden.
And what he means by that,and he explains it in his stump
speeches, is that the country notgoing to recognize it anymore time, about
the borders being wide open, thatthe country will be beyond the pale,
(24:51):
beyond the rubicon, beyond the pointof no return, beyond being able to
fix it. And that's always beenhis kind of hall to his followers,
is you know, we're gonna makeAmerica great again again, that better days
are ahead, that he's got theplans and policies to make things better.
When's the last time Joe Biden wentout there and seriously ran on his own
(25:14):
record. He can't. He can'tbecause he's terrible. He's an awful president,
and he's only resorted to what hedoes best, the fear rhetoric,
the scare mongering tactics. He toldan assembled group of black voters in twenty
twelve that Mitt Romney he's gonna putyou all back in Shane's So come on,
(25:36):
he's gonna say that about Mitt Romney, then of course he's going to
resort to whatever he can do tograsp on the power and hold on in
his rhetoric against Donald Trump. Now, I did see during this last break,
Lester Holt really went after Joe Bidenappears in an NBC interview that will
air tonight on the rhetoric question andthe chiron I saw and it's not up
(26:00):
there right now on Fox News,says Biden admits it was a mistake to
say bullseye to discuss Trump. Now, at least we got that out of
him, but it doesn't change thefact that, of course the Democrats were
trying to sell that to American votersto scare them. You know, Trump
again, he has become this caricaturethat he just doesn't resemble in real life.
(26:26):
Ask yourself, you know, wouldShannon, would Kelly? Would I
vote for Donald Trump if I reallythought there was a chance he was a
fascist who was going to end democracyand there would never be another election?
Or do you think that we're stupidenough that we would vote for Trump and
then that would happen anyway? Ohjeez, I really got fooled. The
(26:47):
point of the matter is it's notgoing to happen. And you know it's
not going to happen if you're honestwith yourself, and if you're honest with
me, just be honest. That'snot going to happen. The country was
better under Donald Trump, and itwill be better under Donald Trump. And
you heard me tell Ross flat out. Trump's going to win and everything's going
to be okay, and in fact, everything's going to be a hell of
(27:10):
a lot better. We'll get toyour text around up the show five,
seven, seven, three nine,start those Ryan. The Republican National Convention
continues for Milwaukee again. The breakingnews today, We've had not enough breaking
news over in the last forty eighthours. Has there been but Senator JD.
Vance. He is the running mateofficially now on the ticket with Donald
Trump. Your thoughts on that,your reaction to Vance being a part of
(27:30):
the ticket five seven seven three nine, start them Ryan back with that after
this on six point thirty km,Donald Trump doajah bullet, But he did
thought claim one America dodge bullet lastnight, America dodgea bullet, because if
that thing had been a quarter inchover, you would have had an assassination.
(27:52):
And then I don't know how hiscountry comes back from that, because
half the country would have felt thatthe other half of the country took took
the leader. And if only asmall percentage of those people felt that means
we're in a war. You havemillions of people ready to do to shoot
back. And so I was proudof Biden. I thought his tone was
right. I hope Promp also mentionsit. But this is not just yesterday.
(28:15):
We've been moving in this direction fora long time and we need a
U turn. It's Van Jones fromCNN. I disagree with him a lot.
I think he's a sincere person,and I think Van Jones is a
good person, and I value whathe has to say. And I thought
that was very well thought out andreacting, of course, to the assassination
attempt against Donald Trump over the weekend. Ryan shuling with you closing out today's
(28:37):
program on six point thirty k howthe Dan Campis Show to follow by thanks
to Mandy Connell joining us live fromMilwaukee and the Republican National Convention where today,
Senator j. D. Vance wasnamed as the official running mate for
Donald Trump on the ticket to bethe next vice president of the United States.
He would be the second youngest vicepresident in the history of the country.
(29:00):
He's only thirty nine years old.He'll be forty in August, so
one month from now. I likehim. I liked till Billy Elegy.
I think he's got a great storyto tell. He's from the Upper Midwest,
like a lot of us. He'sa rouss spelt guy. He's from
humble and modest beginnings. I thinkhe'd be a fine vice president. That
(29:21):
said, I do question his wisdomand judgment as I would any thirty nine
year old. I'm forty nine andI'm not that wise at this point.
I'm still trying to acquire what Iwould consider to be wisdom and trying to
exercise judgment, and by that Imeeter it out. I measure it out
when I go back to twenty sixteen, and I had severe doubts about Donald
(29:41):
Trump. A lot of us did. A lot of us were late to
the party. Few of us cansay we were like Kelly and like we're
Trump as soon as he came downthe escalator. There are some that were
like that, But I was not. As I've told you many times,
I have followed Donald Trump my entirelife. He's been an icon has it's
been a superstar, he's been acelebrity. He's been the epitome in the
(30:03):
example of wealth in the eighties,you would say, I want to be
like Donald Trump. You know,lifestyles of the rich and famous. He
was kind of the poster child forthat in the eighties, of success and
what it meant success by excess inthe eighties. Now, the eighties had
its ups and downs, but oneof them was Reaganomics. You know,
greed is good Gordon Gecko, MichaelDouglas and Wall Street. And in some
(30:26):
ways greed is good. Greed notnecessarily for the sense of just self actualization
and fulfillment and enrichment, but greedby the effort, the focus, the
tenacity, the impetus, the motivationto go out there and win. And
that's what we were taught, Ithink as gen xers growing up in the
(30:47):
eighties and nineties, it was ameritocracy. You busted your ass, you
worked hard, you made your ownluck, and you won. I experienced
that. I've experienced my share oflosses and setbacks two but I have relied
on my own guts and guile anddetermination, helped out by a mom that
(31:07):
was a wonderful teacher when I wasvery little, and I think I've gotten
pretty far. Nobody gave me anything, and that's where I really resent a
lot of this entitlement mentality of you'reowed something, you're owed nothing, You're
entitled to blank. Tony Soprano saidon one of the episodes of The Sopranos,
You're entitled to nothing in this world. You come out of it,
(31:30):
you make you pack your own shoot. My biology teacher, mister Bob Stowe
used to tell us, and that'strue. Here is where I question jd
Vance a bit with his judgment andwisdom. Now this was probably what nine
years ago, maybe eight, andit's a post where he sends a message
(31:52):
to a friend about Donald Trump,and it reads as follows quote but I'm
not surprised by Trump's rise, andI think the entire party has only itself
to blame. We are, whetherwe like it or not, the party
of lower income, lower education whitepeople, and I have been saying for
a long time that we need tooffer those people something parenthetical and hell,
(32:15):
maybe even expand our appeal to workingclass black people in the process. And
parentheses or a demagogue would. Sowe got to offer these people something or
a demagogue would. So he's lamentingthe fact that Republican Party hadn't done that,
and Trump kind of beat him tothe punch. Well, there's a
reason why Donald Trump happened. Isn'tthere an establishment type for years like John
(32:37):
McCain didn't do the trick and acorporate stark shirt Mitt Romney was not appealing.
So why did Donald Trump happen?Exactly what I just said and exactly
what Jade Vance is saying here,But he continues, quote, we are
now at that point. Trump isthe fruit of the party's collective neglect.
(32:59):
I go back and between thinking Trumpis a cynical a hole like Nixon,
who wouldn't be that bad and mighteven prove useful, or that he's America's
Hitler. How's that for discouraging.Now that's from JD. Vance and it's
from nine years ago, which ifI'm doing my math correctly, would put
him at about thirty years old,you know, still not very old,
(33:19):
especially by political standards. And maybehe was just basing his judgment on Trump
on a small sample size. Butwhere I part with him was, I
was a Rubio guy in twenty sixteen. I'm not as fond of Marco now
as I was then. There werereasons Cuban Kennedy. I thought he was
young, charismatic, bilingual, firstgeneration American. I could relate to him.
(33:43):
We're about the same age. We'reboth first generation Americans, me and
my mom's side. And I likeda lot of what he represented, and
I liked him when I met himin Grand Rapids. But he didn't have
the gusto right. Donald Trump flattenedhim in the debates. Heck, Chris
Christy did too, Hampshire. Butwhen Trump dugged him, little Marco,
(34:04):
if that was it, it waslike a low energy Jeb needs an exclamation
point. And so now jd Vanceis all on the Trump train, and
he's Team Trump and Maga, andhe's considered like Trump's mini me or Trump's
junior or whatever, or like thethird Trump son, the fourth Trump's son.
You you got Don Junior, yougot Eric, you got Baron.
(34:25):
Here's the adopted JD Vance and he'sgonna be on the ticket. So you
know, everybody makes mistakes, andmaybe it's kind of like were you lying
then or you're lying now? Orwere you wrong then or were you wrong
now? So I think he's gotto square that circle. And now that
he's in the campaign, he'll haveto answer for this, like, well,
hey, you said Trump might beAmerica's Hitler? What did you mean
(34:46):
by that? Why do you nolonger think that those questions are coming and
he should have to answer for them. But I would give the choice of
JD Vance a grade of let's say, a B minus, not really excited
about it. I'm not sure itreally matters a whole lot at this point.
I think Glenn Youngkin could have mattered. I could have put Trump over
the top. But there's a somethingout jd. It looks like a young
(35:08):
Abraham Lincoln. I like his beard, Okay, bray kill Mead was doing
an interview with Trump, and that'swhat he said. So let's go to
the text five seven seven three nine, Ryan and Mandy. I'll say that
Trump shows up tonight without any bandages, then says I don't need no stinking
bandages. That's from Andy. Well, that'd be funny and beat a reference
(35:28):
to a movie and it'd be atappropriate at propos. Oh, very funny
text here, Ryan. If therace is close, I think it'll be
like a horse race and Trump willwin by an ear. Ha. It's
funny now because we can all laughabout it and it's ober. But remain
very serious in our mindset about DonaldTrump, who nearly missed assassination on Saturday.
(35:52):
May God be with Donald Trump.Pray for the man if you can
please, because they're not gonna stopcoming after him. Dan Caplis is next.
