Eric Adams, New York City mayor (D) voices criticism over Biden-Harris spending on illegals in his city, support for Tom Homan and a promise to cooperate with mass deportations, and a general agreement with the aims of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Has he been fully red-pilled? Is a return to the Republican Party imminent?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Choosing to issue this pardon for whatever reasons he did
after so many times saying he would not, is a
really bad look for him, and I think it's potentially
a destructive thing for his party.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I think it's a It creates.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The appearance of hypocrisy, and I think it will it
could go to supporting what I think are misguided opinions,
but nonetheless people's opinions that the system is somehow stacked
in favor of Democrats against Republicans.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think this looks like the nation's.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Head Democrat using the system for his own benefits.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
And Republicans are really seizing on the time frame here, right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's why I played the clip for our next guest.
They had nothing to do with Andrew mccable, you heard,
and the much disgraced former deputy director of the FBI.
It was Brianna Keeler at the end there for CNN
saying that hey, Republicans, they're gonna they've seized on this
see and pouncing like nobody else.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Steven L.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Miller Red Steevee. You can find him on x and
he's the host of the Versus Media podcast. Steven, Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Thanks Ryan, I'm trying to figure out who had a
bigger win last night. The Broncos are my Beer League
hockey team, so I'm a little redd up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh rev up, Well take us into the details, this
Beer League hockey team. What was the genesis of this
for you?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh? Nothing, We just we beat the first place team
in a close game and the shootout just looked just
like our donkeys.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So exactly reasons to feel good for Steven L. Miller,
who of course makes his residence right here in Colorado.
But further than that point the reaction, Stephen, because I
think the media Biden loyalists KJP, all of them. They're
damned if they do, and they're damned if they don't
kind of go along with this support it. We've seen
(01:51):
many Democrats goalan right here in the state of Colorado.
Governor Jared Polis, Senator Michael Bennett, Representative Jason Crowe, Attorney
General Phil Wiser, all voicing opposition to this pardon of
Hunter Biden. What have you observed about the aftermath of this?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You mentioned basically the media has one switch, was when
bad news about a Republican. Republican is the story when
it's bad news about a Democrat. Or a Democrat president.
The Republican's reaction is the story. And like you said,
how the political right is pouncing on this or seizing
on this or it's basically we're just noticing this rate
corruption that pretty much will seal Joe Biden's legacy. And
(02:32):
I think that that has more to do with this
than anything else. He's eighty two years old, he's going
to walk out of office. He doesn't care. I don't
think he cares how. He's leaving a party that he
feels betrayed by and that pushed him out of office.
And people like me said as far back as to
Tune in July when he left the race, that a
part was going to be part of this deal for
Hunter Biden. And you have to get into the weeds
(02:53):
a little bit over what he's being pardoned over the
gun charges and attack debating charges. We're all kind of
a cover for me FARA violations and it's foreign influence pedaling,
And that was basically what says about this has nothing
to do with the gun charge conviction, because as we've
learned in the plea deal, blanket immunity was part of
(03:14):
the plea deal between the prosecutors and the Biden legal team.
And the only reason that fell apart is because a
judge actually decided to sit down and do her job
and read the paperwork. And so that was the first
kind of shenanigans that played out with this. And then
of course that plea deal alls apart. He's convicted, and
that leads Joe Biden with no choice. But who issued
a blanket parton which goes back ten years oddly to
(03:37):
when he started his work at Barisma. It stinks. It
proves basically what people on the political right have been
saying for years about how this family is one of
the most corrupt families in Washington, BC. They're kind of
like a special needs house of cards. They're not particularly bright,
but they know how to gain the system. And I
think that this is just the last thing of good
(03:58):
riddens to Joe Biden, who's been a staying on this government.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
For the last fifty years special needs house of cards.
I'm writing that one down. I promise to attribute it
to you, Stephen L. Miller along those lines. It's this
paper thin facade that has now been ripped away and
we're seeing less and less of the cover and just
more and more of where they're honestly coming from, and
that's a very craven and cynical place about all of this.
(04:24):
They don't really believe that Donald Trump is Orange Hitler
or that his followers are Nazis. This was all a
political ploy and all that talk has gone away. If
it were real, they would still be talking about it.
But was part of the campaign. Clara mccaskell herself got
her head served to her on a platter by Josh
Hawley in a Senate race in Missouri where I don't
think a Democrat will win for many many years now.
(04:46):
She was the last one. And here's the reason. Why
do I.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Understand Joe Biden's pardon? Yes, completely, I get it. It's
completely understandable. But both sides, folks out there, I have
just gotten some really powerful ammunition, and for that reason,
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So your point, they're making your point for you, Steven
in that it's the Republican reaction. It's not that what
the Democrat did was wrong, and it's not like we should
question why Joe Biden did what he did or why
he lied about it. It's that, oh no, this gives
ammunition to the other side. Dang it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Right, yeah, And that's Joe Biden's presidency is pretty much
opening the door the country. He did irreversible damage in
the world of lawfare in the DOJ and by opening
the door to prosecuting Donald Trump, which who ooz was
the leading political opponent at the time. And so now
how this is going to go is now you have
(05:40):
an entire media apparatus who is scared that somehow Donald
Trump is going to return the favor and Hunter Biden
was probably going to be at the top of that list.
What they're missing is did Hunter Biden actually commit crimes
that are worth investigating? And they can't admit that part
because everything kind of comes tumbling down over what was
the motive was behind the Biden administration's prosecution of Donald Trump.
(06:04):
And so here you have them saying, well, Donald Trump's
going to go after his people with the DOJ, and
on the second hand, they're talking on the other side
of the mouth and saying, well, Biden's DOJ was completely
independent from the president and you can't have it both ways.
And what Blaire mccaskell is right here is it opened
the door for Donald Trump to pardon every single person
(06:25):
who is convicted of their actions at the Capitol, no
matter how violent they were or how passive they were
on January sixth, and Donald Trump is going to pardon
every single one of those people, and the media is
going to scream and cry about it, and guys like
me is kind of strong and said, you guys made
this bed. This is the bed that Joe Biden made
for you. So now you have to lay in it.
(06:45):
You have to enjoy it. And the biggest part of
this is there was this, you know, idea that Joe Biden.
A lot of people, especially on the Never Trump or whatever,
had this idea of who Joe Biden was in their
head as kind of a stalwart gran father. He's going
to write the ship and he's going to bring back
the norms, and it was completely at odds with the
(07:06):
contacrous old man who did nothing to restore norms. In fact,
were worse off. There was nothing about Bien's presidency that
was normal. And this pardon just kind of puts, you know,
again the seal on it. It's not too late to
impeach him. I know that that's a hot take, and
I put that one out there that yeah, yeah, you're
not going to remove him from office, but at least
he'll have an asterisk in Wikipedia. And I do believe
(07:28):
that this is an impeachable offense. Steven L.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Miller read Stee's on x where you can follow him,
you can download listen to his podcast on substack that
is versus Media where he gets into all these topics
and more. And because of what you just said, Steven,
I want to get your reaction to this. You talk
about never Trumper's, you know, Lincoln Project, former Conservatives, George Will,
Bill Crystal, the Bulwark, et cetera. And one of those
(07:51):
was Joe Walsh, And I'll give him credit. He came
on with the Dan Kaplis Show yesterday here locally on
six point thirty k how and he was not holding
back any bun here about what he thought of this
Biden pardon of Hunter. See I told you so. They're
all like that.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
So the next time any of us complain about anything
Trump does, this pardon is just deflating for those of
us who have been out there for a few years
now yelling about what a unique threat Donald Trump is
for Joe Biden to do something like this.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Trump, nobody's above the law.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
We've been screaming well, Joe Biden just made clear his
son Hunter is above the law. Donald Trump lies every
time he opens his mouth. We've been screaming, Joe Biden
repeatedly lied about this, the politicization of the justice system.
Donald Trump and his people have been.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Screaming the way I would kind of put a bow
on this, Stephen is a lot of people, and I
think Joe's among them. They fell for the caricature game.
They painted this extreme kind of Picasso like painting of Trump,
Orange Hitler, et cetera. Not only might he have had
a point about all of this, the weaponization of the
DOJ etc. That Joe Biden helps him make that point,
(09:10):
but that he's not as bad as everybody was saying
he was. He might be bad on some level in
some ways, but when you exaggerate it, you set people up. Well,
he's not that bad. And more importantly, perhaps in this analysis,
and you were just touching on this, Joe Biden is
nowhere near as good as a paragon of virtue to
contrast and counteract Donald Trump than some of these people
(09:32):
were trying to make him out to be.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, Jill wallsh is a perfect example of again, someone
who created a character of Joe Biden in his head
to justify supporting him. And as you know that I'm
not a Trump voter. I didn't vote for Donald Trump.
But you just don't abandon everything that you believe and
throw it out of the window because of an imperfect messenger.
And you have to go back, you know, with Joe
Biden's career. This is a guy who started his political
(09:57):
cure by lying about a drunk he killing his wife
and daughter. This is a guy who famously in nineteen
eighty had and his presidential campaign because of plagiarism of
politician Neil kennot This is a guy who we don't
know anything about his personal biography because he's made so
much of it up. This is a guy who in
twenty twelve said Romney was going to re enslave people.
(10:20):
And you just kind of go back through the history
of who Joe Biden is, and to anyone who's paid
attention to any kind of mackam a politics knows that
the Joe Biden who would pardon his son after looking
directly at the media and saying that he would not
do it, is not surprised by this. And there are
a few journalists that are out there and Zisky from
(10:43):
Stinn is out here saying he didn't he never said,
as they try to make the argument, well, Trump won
the election, so circumstances change. When David Nire asked Joe
Biden in Normandy back in June, shortly before he dropped
out of the race, that he would pardon his son,
he said no, I don't typically know. There were no
preconditions to his her and that's a problem they're going
to have to grapple with. And as you said, their
(11:04):
whole thing now is well, you know Trump might use
the DOJ and so we can't do that. Well, is
Hunter Biden the guilty or are their crimes that Hunter
Biden's you know, should be prosecuted for. And that's again
the issue that they don't want to admit because that
goes back into Ukraine is work in barisma, which if
you recall that was Donald Trump's first impeachment was telling
(11:25):
Ukraine you should look into some of this stuff. And
you know, there are you know, for those of us
who aren't really Ukraine warhawks. Either way, you start to
look at this and you say, how are we sending
billions of taxpayer money over to a country that's so
closely tied to Joe Biden and his family one way
or another. This is going to come out, and you know,
who knows what Hunter Biden does from from on out,
(11:47):
I think you should probably decide to go be a
father to his daughter.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, Navy Navy Joan, who they just started putting stockings
up for around the holidays.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Because Joe Biden still refuses to acknowledge.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It just puts that that's another thing.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
See, it's who he is.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
He's not.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
He's not the nice old grandfather who is here to
calm the waters. This again is like I said, this
pardon and you're probably going to see another one coming
for his brother. He's also embroiled in a lot of
this stuff, and that one will probably come on his
last day in office.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Joe Biden is who we always knew he was, at
least Steven and myself and I hope a lot of
listeners out there who have followed Joe Biden for all
of his fifty odd years in public life. He's been
a very crusty old man looking out for his own
self interest, very selfish and self focused. I mean that
even goes it extends to the role that Hunter Biden
(12:36):
had which he should never have had. Steven, I'm not sure,
and I hope you don't. If you have a family
member or a friend who was in recovery from addiction
alcohol or drugs, the last thing you do is send
that person globe trotting around the world as a bag man,
exposed to all of those kinds of private interests with
(12:56):
regard to prostitutes, with regard to who drugs and alcohol
to enable all of those addictions, and doing so again
with this very shallow self interest that well, this is
the one guy that could bring in money for the family.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Right and if we would call Hunter Bidens basically spent
the last three years crashing on the Oval Office couch.
And this was, you know, the close and I'm not
saying that you you aren't close with your family, but
for anyone who had reservations about, you know, Ivanka Trump
or Jeri Kushner's role in the Trump administration, it was
recorded Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were the last two holdouts,
(13:33):
you know, when they were trying to break Joe Biden's
arm to get him out of the race. And it
was because of things like this, because of a pardon
and because of the power, and once Joe Biden walks
out of that office, the Brady train is over. And
so that has a lot to do with this. And
it is okay to be uncomfortable with Hunter Biden's presence
at the White House and his influence over his father
(13:55):
and how many decisions is he's sitting in on as
we heard advisors of Biden were to because Hunter Biden
was sitting in on intelligence meetings. And this is a
guy who again crashed at his father's house during COVID
while boxes of UNSI classified documents sat in the garage.
And again, when you have a guy who is compromised
(14:15):
and who has business ties to the CCP in China,
and then a spy balloon floats over the country for
eight days while nothing is done about it, all of
these questions start to get raised about how much foreign
influence is over this family, basically all the stuff that
you know the media tells us between Trump and Russia
but pays no at tanking to the Biden family ties
(14:36):
to Ukraine. Internal Steven O.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Miller reads these on X Versus Media podcast host One
more comment here along those lines, the media have they
learned their lesson while they're trying to cya, and Jake
Tapper was among them for CNN.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
President Biden lying about this, of course makes others in
his administration and allies either credulous or complicit, including.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
White House Press Secretary Kreens Jan Pierre.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Who's been saying this for months to the American people.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Is there any possibility that the president would end up
hardening his son? Yea, thank you. I just said no,
I just answer it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I can speak for the president, and he said he
would not pardon his son.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
The president have any intention of pardoning him.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Which is now the answer does not stand. It does
not stand. And Jake Tapper not only covered it, he
called Joe Biden a liar, said he lied about this,
and Steven I'm just looking forward and I don't know
if things will change. But Donald Trump's out of the
equation now. His following will continue, maybe in the form
of jd Vance, Rond de Santis will see. But has
the media learned anything from this utter embarrassment that they've
(15:44):
made themselves to be because they were so in the
tank against Trump that that was a higher calling than journalism.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Was Yeah, I mean, I guess good on Jake Tapper.
We'll see how he acts. Wh Kareem John Pierre is
nade a scene and contributor here about six time MSNBC
because if you recall, you know, when Sean Spice or
lied about inauguration crowds from the sacred podium of the
press briefing room and then he started shopping around for
a contributor gig, he was blacklisted and that became a
(16:11):
thing like NBC wouldn't hire him, and they frowned on CBS.
And then when Roha McDaniel was hired at NBC, you
had Chuck Todd crying on the air that you can't
have somebody of this nature, you know, walking through our respected,
hollowed halls. And what's going to happen is in a
six months green John Pierre is going to get a
contrier contract with NBC or MSNBC or CNN, and not
(16:32):
a single person will throw their arms up about how
she's an untrusted liar. Jake Tapper will welcome her on
set and they will just carry on as though none
of this happened. There is a there is a double
standard when it comes to things like this, and I
guess the good news for us and good news for
someone like me less than you know, the amount of
people who watched CNN and MSNBC crowd at Mile High
(16:54):
Stadium is bigger than that, so like it was last night,
and so I guess that that's solid as we take.
But no, this is all performative. Dick Tapper is not
a journalist. He performs the news for CNN. He goes
on and you know, he doesn't act. And Kareem John
Peter is going to go walking in one of these
places here and you know, like I said, about probably
six months to a year, and they are all going
(17:14):
to just welcome her in like she's one of the crew,
just like they did with Jennifer Saki.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Think about the cleanse. Think about the enema that Washington
is going to get with Donald Trump as president of
the United States, both at home and abroad, domestically and internationally,
whether it's the war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza,
the trade war with China. There are so many fronts
that Donald Trump is far more qualified to attack then
(17:42):
certainly Kamala Harris, but of course Joe Biden. And this
is just another example of why I believe Donald Trump
not only could he have the war and Ukraine ended
by the time he's sworn in, I think that's a
very real possibility. I believe the hostages of October seventh
that have been held ever since by Moss may be returned.
And it's the basis of this strong talk right here
(18:05):
on truth social from Donald Trump. Everybody's talking about the
hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely and against
the will of the entire world in the Middle East.
But it's all talk, no action. Please let this truth
serve to represent that if the hostages are not released
prior to January twentieth, twenty twenty five, the date that
(18:29):
I proudly assume office as President of the United States,
there will be all held to pay in the Middle East,
and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity,
those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been
hit in the long and storied history of the United
States of America. Release the hostages, now, that's the sort
(18:54):
of talk we've been missing in the Oval Office for
four years. And spack in the form of the Orange
man stick and stay to Ryan Schuling Lot.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
The long term impact of what we did to this
city is going to You're going to see it materialized
in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of
New York City. And when people hear me say six
point four billion dollars, they may say, Okay, it's just
a billionaire billionaire. No, we didn't invest in seniors the
(19:25):
way we should have and young people the way we
should have. We're not going out to get these chronic
absence the students the way we should have.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The crimes that we've witnessed.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
This impacted our city, and people don't seem to understand
why were you fighting so hard for this?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Because I reflected.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
On that eleven year old boy that was denied, and
I want into government to stop these eleven year old boys.
And I came up with a plan to do so,
and the federal government made me take six point four
billion dollars out of providing these services that we should
We all should be angry happened to our city under
this administration.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Has Eric Adams, Mayor of New York City, been red
pilled back on Ryan Schuling Live, I advanced the notion
and the theory. Now recall Eric Adams at one time
was a Republican now probably one of these New York
City wishy washy, kind of squishy moderate Republicans. But we'll
(20:28):
take it in New York City and that venue. That's
why when people complain, let's say about Susan Collins and Maine,
I'm here to tell you we're not going to get
a better Republican senator out of Maine, which leans pretty
strongly blue. We do get one congressional district vote in
the electoral College for president from Maine, but even within
(20:49):
that district, Jared Golden, who's a Democrat, just narrowly won again.
So Susan Collins isn't perfect, and she's not even close,
but she's better than a Democrat would be in that position.
Could we go back in time get Olympia snow. I mean,
that's fodder for conversation, and perhaps there's a talk show
(21:09):
like this, but it's not realistic. I am far more
infuriated over somebody like Lisa Murkowski. In a solidly red
state like Alaska, there's no way that we should have
to put up with somebody like Lisa Murkowski. But she
is such a part of the deep state. She has
her hands in the honeypot and getting donations from across
(21:31):
the state of Alaska, including from some Native American tribes there,
the Inuits, the Eskimos, et cetera. She does stand on
the right side of energy when it comes to anwar,
but unvirtually everything else. She's real murky murky Murkowski, as
I call her. But Eric Adams, he's a former NYPD officer,
(21:51):
he's a former Republican. And if you'll recall, at the
l Smith dinner, Donald Trump went all in on Bill
de Blasio. Bill Deblasio's terrible. He's the worst mayor in
the history of New extenty. Not Eric Adams. I feel
bad for him. He's endured some of the same law
fair I have. If you remember that, don't think that
(22:13):
was without a purpose. There's always a method to the
madness of the Orange Man of Donald Trump. He didn't
do that by accident. He knows. Eric Adams is persuadable,
he's malleable. He's not all the way lost on the
lunatic left fringe.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There's a lot of things Eric Adams has done and
said that I disagree with that I shake my head
at But is he an upgrade over Bill Deblasio. He
absolutely is, and I am a person who is intent
on building a big tent for our Republican Party to
bring people in. You know, for all his past transgressions.
(22:50):
If Eric Adams is willing to come on over and
join the Fray and be part of the make America
Great Again movement or conservatism or whatever whatever it is
he views this side of the ledger ass being the
better bet, then yes, I will stand with Eric Adams
in a challenge against somebody the likes of former Governor
(23:12):
Cuomo Andrew Cuomo. No, no, I want no part of that.
But Eric Adams, folks, he was just getting started. This
dude has zero f's left to give and I'm here
for it, open.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
To hearing what their plan is to deport some of
these folks.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And you think the city in some circumstances should cooperate with.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Us, let me let me you know what's interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And I was talking to the team the other day.
I want you to all go back and.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Yep, google what they
said about those who commit crimes in our city and
what they said in our country. They said, those who
commit crimes need to get out right away.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
That was them.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
So this is not a new position, you know, because
in the state of in the era of cancel culture,
no one's afraid to be honest about the truth. Well,
cancel me, because I'm going to protect the people of the.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
City I love. This Woke is dead, common sense is back.
We're back, baby. Eric Adams has abandoned any pretense of
political correctness, of adhering to the skolds of cancel culture
by saying you must welcome and embrace every illegal migrant
(24:37):
in your city. He knows that is foolhardy. He knows
that's a losing bet, and he has a reelection bid
to win. And unlike Mike Johnson here in Commi, Colorado,
who apparently doesn't have that fear, Eric Adams has a
healthy fear. He gets it. He knows what's going on.
He looked at a map, perhaps at the New York Times,
(24:59):
and saw these diet to the right red arrows in
the state of New York, in every borough of New
York City, going Trump's direction. Kamala Harris was the first
presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in his re election effort
after the Great Depression in the stock market crash of
nineteen twenty nine. Kamala Harris is the first presidential nominee
(25:23):
to not flip a single district in her direction from
the previous election. Those who are smart, like Eric Adams,
apparently here they know which way the wind blows, and
it's not blowing in the direction perhaps the Democratic Party
thought anticipated or hoped for. I don't know if he's
(25:43):
all the way there, but here he is voicing support
for DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and
Vivek Ramaswami. Like I said, he was just getting started.
He was nowhere near close to done. Eric Adams, Democrat,
New York City.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
This is any fishing, This is any fishing to do.
And so I'm hoping he's going to examine all of
the inefficiencies that we're seeing in government because I came
in with the same energy and spirit. We have been
wasting tax payers money for far too long, and we
need to start wasting.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Tax pays money.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
So his observation is the observation that I had.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But we had no other choice put to do just that. Eric,
come on back home. You were a Republican at one time.
You were using your better judgment. You didn't become a
Republican by accident. Maybe you left the party, maybe become disaffected.
Maybe you thought orange man bad, I'm gonna walk away.
Come on back. You'll be welcomed with open arms. This
(26:45):
is the kind of guy that changes the game, folks.
If Eric Adams is back on our team or at
least neutral, if he disavows the Democratic Party and all
these Wilke principles that have driven America and leadership up
under Democrats and American cities and states into the ground,
there is hope. This is a flicker of hope. This
(27:06):
is a flame that I want to help rekindle. And
Eric Adams is making a whole lot of sense right now.
And I don't say that lightly. Taking your thoughts five
seven seven three nine on the text line as we
close up shop, rapping of hour number two on this
Tuesday edition to Ryan Schuling live after this, guess who
(27:29):
just joined me live in the control room. We've got
the whole podcast set up going. She gives me the look,
the forlorn look with her glasses on. It's Kelly Cacera.
The sunshine is back. She's ready for all two hours
of Dan kaplis straight ahead, Kelly, where you been? I
missed you?
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I was walking. I didn't know you were on your
own board today. I thought you had a.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Producer.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Now, I was very sick about you though you were
Yeah really totally.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah, Well I'm more worried about my squirrel.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
What happened to yourqurel? I thought your squirrel got head
by a car. We talked about this.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Well that's what you're anticipated happened.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
No.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
No, I had a nice leisurely stroll.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You must have.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I uh went shopping.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Where'd you go shopping? What do you got there?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I have my Oh that's not what you bought?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Okay, No, I didn't buy anything. I just, like, you know,
windows shopped because you know we're kind of down right now.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, I got some news on that front.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So I talked to Adam yesterday. You did, your husband,
Adam Coucia? Yeah, great man, great America. And he does
the right thing in the voting booth.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
And I talked to him about Thursday night, your Green
Bay Packers against my Detroit Lions or suddenly a Juggernaut,
and he offered up. Think about this, he said, if
you were down, you were good with it. He will
spot up and get us a seat at JD's to
watch that game on Thursday night, because you know, by
the time we get out of here for Dan, for you,
(29:07):
it's going to be really tight.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
For me.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I know I'm gonna be a little bit late, but
he's gonna post up for us, as I call it,
and you can watch the game there. He's in, He's
in if you're in. That's what he told me.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
He had some bad news today, so he didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Have bad news yesterday, right, And you know what usually happens.
I am associated with the good news, and I don't
come attached like a dead weight to the bad news
me personally.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Okay, you even know why you're in here.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I thought you had on while he started the show.
For me, I had some rearranged clips. Oh my gosh,
an interview with Mike Davis that was off the top.
You remember him. You seen him on news Max, right, Yes, yeah,
he's a really article three project. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah,
big supporter of cash Betella's. I know you are too, yes,
FBI director.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
I like him, yes, right, yeah, it was all good.
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I just I literally just what if I knew you
were on your own board, totally, I would have been
here for you.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Dude. I've been so lonely. I've questioned my exsistence. It
was like Tom Hanks and Castaway with Wilson the volleyball.
I was talking to a volleyball.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
So you're compared, well, Adam did say yesterday, I have
a tiny head.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You do have very objectively and scientifically small cabaza. Yes, yeah,
but would you rather have a big head, like a
large bowling ball type head?
Speaker 7 (30:30):
You mean like yours?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't have it. I don't have a big head either.
That's big news. Yeah, I wear no. I wear a
seven and three eighths ball cap. That other big heads, Well,
it's small to medium my head, and I'll take that.
I don't have a like an overly large head. I
don't have a pinhead. Yours is closer to the pinhead variety.
(30:52):
I think that's what Adam was telling you.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Well, yeah, I think he's got to work around.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I don't know, for the headphones that wouldn't fit your
head because they were too big for your little head.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I saw it right and make him small.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I'm like, I can't it's as small as ittle go.
It was horrible.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
It was.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
It reminded me of the time when I tried to
like park Leland's car. Do you remember?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I remember that?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Yes, Because the stupid tornado was coming.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
We had to get it out of the hail and right, I.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Get it up for like far enough to actually touch
the pedals. So I was like on my tiptoes driving through.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
The parking tied like blocks on your feet.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Oh, it's horrible, so much. And then he got in
after yeh, and he was like, you were so tiny?
How in the hell did you sit.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Into my truck? He's pretty tall, He's like six to
one somewhere in there. I think, yeah, I'm only five ten,
so I'm somewhere in the middling stages. But yeah, you
were way too sharp.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
For the I mean, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You know what, though, I'm sorry you tried and you
were you were hero that day. I did you were here? Uh,
here's some tax five, sevens, seven, three and nine. Did
you hear Eric Adams today? Did you hear my clips
with Eric Adams?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I just got back from walking.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You could have been listening to the show whilst walk walking,
and I noticed that you weren't.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Sorry, do I not work on another show that.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Is not during not during my show?
Speaker 7 (32:16):
No, I'm sorry. I don't work from you do.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
But when you're walking, when you're walking, you could be
listening live. Well Ice this show. It's in the name
Ryan Shuling Live. That's why I put it in there.
My bad.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
You know what, I should have showed up your show
instead of listening to music.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That I actually maybe intermittently you could have alternated. But anyway,
oh my god, Eric Adams, I think is coming back
to our side. He was a Republican at one time,
the New York City mayor, and he is just scorched earth,
trashing the Democrats, embracing Tom Holman and Ice, deportations and
Doge and Doge. And I'm like, come on back, Eric,
(32:57):
You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
He doesn't have a choice, he's got thinking of that.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
But would you welcome him back?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
I would, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well I'll welcome everybody if.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
They come back. Yep, yeah, just come on back. And
this is what this Texter says. Eric Adams was chatting
it up with Donald Trump at a recent UFC event
in New York City and Madison Square Garden. Yep, he's
trying to get on the Donald's good side. Why wouldn't he.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Did you see Trudeau coming down and kissing.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
The ring now justin if you don't like it, if
the tariffs are too much, you can become the fifty
first staid and you'll be the governor.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Jolie said that it's so good, it's so awesome.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I can't wait for my Trump. Hot takes bet that
you and I came up.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
You helped with that, by the way, Yes, yeah, Hot takes.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, with Donna Summer and all that good. That would
be another one. Here's one from Alexa Kelly is hilarious.
So you have you got that going for you, which
is nice. Ryan. I think the US is destined to
be involved in Biden's version of beach blanket pardon Bingo
for the next two months. True. I mean he started
(34:01):
with Hunter. That was like the Hiroshima. We're waiting for
the Nagasaki. We we'll see about preemptively pardoning ahead of
a crime. This is a very good point. I think
two Texters have made it. Yes, remember Ford pardon Nixon preemptively?
He did. You're exactly right and I remember that's what
my both my parents, my mom and my dad, cited
(34:22):
as the reason why they voted for Jimmy Carter in
nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
But don't you think that Biden also wanted the praise
of wanting to pardon his son instead of Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Doing it right, He wanted to get ahead of that. Now, well,
Biden pardoned the Jan sixers to get ahead of Trump
on that front. Why not books go for Do you
think he will?
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You really think he will?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:42):
And I think he'll probably make someone to Biden too. Okay,
we talked to Miranda about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
This from a Texter speaking of Miranda, Ryan, you get
great interviews. Thank you two exclamation points. Some of that
thanks goes to Kelly, especially Miranda Devine. Stay tuned the
Dan Capla shows next. This has been Ryan Ling won
Choosing to issue this pardon for whatever reasons he did
after so many times saying he would not, is a
really bad look for him, and I think it's potentially
a destructive thing for his party.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I think it's a It creates.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The appearance of hypocrisy, and I think it will it
could go to supporting what I think are misguided opinions,
but nonetheless people's opinions that the system is somehow stacked
in favor of Democrats against Republicans.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think this looks like the nation's.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Head Democrat using the system for his own benefits.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
And Republicans are really seizing on the time frame here, right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's why I played the clip for our next guest.
They had nothing to do with Andrew mccable, you heard,
and the much disgraced former deputy director of the FBI.
It was Brianna Keeler at the end there for CNN
saying that hey, Republicans, they're gonna they've seized on this
see and pouncing like nobody else.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Steven L.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Miller Red Steevee. You can find him on x and
he's the host of the Versus Media podcast. Steven, Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Thanks Ryan, I'm trying to figure out who had a
bigger win last night. The Broncos are my Beer League
hockey team, so I'm a little redd up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh rev up, Well take us into the details, this
Beer League hockey team. What was the genesis of this
for you?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh? Nothing, We just we beat the first place team
in a close game and the shootout just looked just
like our donkeys.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So exactly reasons to feel good for Steven L. Miller,
who of course makes his residence right here in Colorado.
But further than that point the reaction, Stephen, because I
think the media Biden loyalists KJP, all of them. They're
damned if they do, and they're damned if they don't
kind of go along with this support it. We've seen
(01:51):
many Democrats goalan right here in the state of Colorado.
Governor Jared Polis, Senator Michael Bennett, Representative Jason Crowe, Attorney
General Phil Wiser, all voicing opposition to this pardon of
Hunter Biden. What have you observed about the aftermath of this?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You mentioned basically the media has one switch, was when
bad news about a Republican. Republican is the story when
it's bad news about a Democrat. Or a Democrat president.
The Republican's reaction is the story. And like you said,
how the political right is pouncing on this or seizing
on this or it's basically we're just noticing this rate
corruption that pretty much will seal Joe Biden's legacy. And
(02:32):
I think that that has more to do with this
than anything else. He's eighty two years old, he's going
to walk out of office. He doesn't care. I don't
think he cares how. He's leaving a party that he
feels betrayed by and that pushed him out of office.
And people like me said as far back as to
Tune in July when he left the race, that a
part was going to be part of this deal for
Hunter Biden. And you have to get into the weeds
(02:53):
a little bit over what he's being pardoned over the
gun charges and attack debating charges. We're all kind of
a cover for me FARA violations and it's foreign influence pedaling,
And that was basically what says about this has nothing
to do with the gun charge conviction, because as we've
learned in the plea deal, blanket immunity was part of
(03:14):
the plea deal between the prosecutors and the Biden legal team.
And the only reason that fell apart is because a
judge actually decided to sit down and do her job
and read the paperwork. And so that was the first
kind of shenanigans that played out with this. And then
of course that plea deal alls apart. He's convicted, and
that leads Joe Biden with no choice. But who issued
a blanket parton which goes back ten years oddly to
(03:37):
when he started his work at Barisma. It stinks. It
proves basically what people on the political right have been
saying for years about how this family is one of
the most corrupt families in Washington, BC. They're kind of
like a special needs house of cards. They're not particularly bright,
but they know how to gain the system. And I
think that this is just the last thing of good
(03:58):
riddens to Joe Biden, who's been a staying on this government.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
For the last fifty years special needs house of cards.
I'm writing that one down. I promise to attribute it
to you, Stephen L. Miller along those lines. It's this
paper thin facade that has now been ripped away and
we're seeing less and less of the cover and just
more and more of where they're honestly coming from, and
that's a very craven and cynical place about all of this.
(04:24):
They don't really believe that Donald Trump is Orange Hitler
or that his followers are Nazis. This was all a
political ploy and all that talk has gone away. If
it were real, they would still be talking about it.
But was part of the campaign. Clara mccaskell herself got
her head served to her on a platter by Josh
Hawley in a Senate race in Missouri where I don't
think a Democrat will win for many many years now.
(04:46):
She was the last one. And here's the reason. Why
do I.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Understand Joe Biden's pardon? Yes, completely, I get it. It's
completely understandable. But both sides, folks out there, I have
just gotten some really powerful ammunition, and for that reason,
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So your point, they're making your point for you, Steven
in that it's the Republican reaction. It's not that what
the Democrat did was wrong, and it's not like we should
question why Joe Biden did what he did or why
he lied about it. It's that, oh no, this gives
ammunition to the other side. Dang it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Right, yeah, And that's Joe Biden's presidency is pretty much
opening the door the country. He did irreversible damage in
the world of lawfare in the DOJ and by opening
the door to prosecuting Donald Trump, which who ooz was
the leading political opponent at the time. And so now
how this is going to go is now you have
(05:40):
an entire media apparatus who is scared that somehow Donald
Trump is going to return the favor and Hunter Biden
was probably going to be at the top of that list.
What they're missing is did Hunter Biden actually commit crimes
that are worth investigating? And they can't admit that part
because everything kind of comes tumbling down over what was
the motive was behind the Biden administration's prosecution of Donald Trump.
(06:04):
And so here you have them saying, well, Donald Trump's
going to go after his people with the DOJ, and
on the second hand, they're talking on the other side
of the mouth and saying, well, Biden's DOJ was completely
independent from the president and you can't have it both ways.
And what Blaire mccaskell is right here is it opened
the door for Donald Trump to pardon every single person
(06:25):
who is convicted of their actions at the Capitol, no
matter how violent they were or how passive they were
on January sixth, and Donald Trump is going to pardon
every single one of those people, and the media is
going to scream and cry about it, and guys like
me is kind of strong and said, you guys made
this bed. This is the bed that Joe Biden made
for you. So now you have to lay in it.
(06:45):
You have to enjoy it. And the biggest part of
this is there was this, you know, idea that Joe Biden.
A lot of people, especially on the Never Trump or whatever,
had this idea of who Joe Biden was in their
head as kind of a stalwart gran father. He's going
to write the ship and he's going to bring back
the norms, and it was completely at odds with the
(07:06):
contacrous old man who did nothing to restore norms. In fact,
were worse off. There was nothing about Bien's presidency that
was normal. And this pardon just kind of puts, you know,
again the seal on it. It's not too late to
impeach him. I know that that's a hot take, and
I put that one out there that yeah, yeah, you're
not going to remove him from office, but at least
he'll have an asterisk in Wikipedia. And I do believe
(07:28):
that this is an impeachable offense. Steven L.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Miller read Stee's on x where you can follow him,
you can download listen to his podcast on substack that
is versus Media where he gets into all these topics
and more. And because of what you just said, Steven,
I want to get your reaction to this. You talk
about never Trumper's, you know, Lincoln Project, former Conservatives, George Will,
Bill Crystal, the Bulwark, et cetera. And one of those
(07:51):
was Joe Walsh, And I'll give him credit. He came
on with the Dan Kaplis Show yesterday here locally on
six point thirty k how and he was not holding
back any bun here about what he thought of this
Biden pardon of Hunter. See I told you so. They're
all like that.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
So the next time any of us complain about anything
Trump does, this pardon is just deflating for those of
us who have been out there for a few years
now yelling about what a unique threat Donald Trump is
for Joe Biden to do something like this.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Trump, nobody's above the law.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
We've been screaming well, Joe Biden just made clear his
son Hunter is above the law. Donald Trump lies every
time he opens his mouth. We've been screaming, Joe Biden
repeatedly lied about this, the politicization of the justice system.
Donald Trump and his people have been.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Screaming the way I would kind of put a bow
on this, Stephen is a lot of people, and I
think Joe's among them. They fell for the caricature game.
They painted this extreme kind of Picasso like painting of Trump,
Orange Hitler, et cetera. Not only might he have had
a point about all of this, the weaponization of the
DOJ etc. That Joe Biden helps him make that point,
(09:10):
but that he's not as bad as everybody was saying
he was. He might be bad on some level in
some ways, but when you exaggerate it, you set people up. Well,
he's not that bad. And more importantly, perhaps in this analysis,
and you were just touching on this, Joe Biden is
nowhere near as good as a paragon of virtue to
contrast and counteract Donald Trump than some of these people
(09:32):
were trying to make him out to be.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, Jill wallsh is a perfect example of again, someone
who created a character of Joe Biden in his head
to justify supporting him. And as you know that I'm
not a Trump voter. I didn't vote for Donald Trump.
But you just don't abandon everything that you believe and
throw it out of the window because of an imperfect messenger.
And you have to go back, you know, with Joe
Biden's career. This is a guy who started his political
(09:57):
cure by lying about a drunk he killing his wife
and daughter. This is a guy who famously in nineteen
eighty had and his presidential campaign because of plagiarism of
politician Neil kennot This is a guy who we don't
know anything about his personal biography because he's made so
much of it up. This is a guy who in
twenty twelve said Romney was going to re enslave people.
(10:20):
And you just kind of go back through the history
of who Joe Biden is, and to anyone who's paid
attention to any kind of mackam a politics knows that
the Joe Biden who would pardon his son after looking
directly at the media and saying that he would not
do it, is not surprised by this. And there are
a few journalists that are out there and Zisky from
(10:43):
Stinn is out here saying he didn't he never said,
as they try to make the argument, well, Trump won
the election, so circumstances change. When David Nire asked Joe
Biden in Normandy back in June, shortly before he dropped
out of the race, that he would pardon his son,
he said no, I don't typically know. There were no
preconditions to his her and that's a problem they're going
to have to grapple with. And as you said, their
(11:04):
whole thing now is well, you know Trump might use
the DOJ and so we can't do that. Well, is
Hunter Biden the guilty or are their crimes that Hunter
Biden's you know, should be prosecuted for. And that's again
the issue that they don't want to admit because that
goes back into Ukraine is work in barisma, which if
you recall that was Donald Trump's first impeachment was telling
(11:25):
Ukraine you should look into some of this stuff. And
you know, there are you know, for those of us
who aren't really Ukraine warhawks. Either way, you start to
look at this and you say, how are we sending
billions of taxpayer money over to a country that's so
closely tied to Joe Biden and his family one way
or another. This is going to come out, and you know,
who knows what Hunter Biden does from from on out,
(11:47):
I think you should probably decide to go be a
father to his daughter.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, Navy Navy Joan, who they just started putting stockings
up for around the holidays.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Because Joe Biden still refuses to acknowledge.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It just puts that that's another thing.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
See, it's who he is.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
He's not.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
He's not the nice old grandfather who is here to
calm the waters. This again is like I said, this
pardon and you're probably going to see another one coming
for his brother. He's also embroiled in a lot of
this stuff, and that one will probably come on his
last day in office.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Joe Biden is who we always knew he was, at
least Steven and myself and I hope a lot of
listeners out there who have followed Joe Biden for all
of his fifty odd years in public life. He's been
a very crusty old man looking out for his own
self interest, very selfish and self focused. I mean that
even goes it extends to the role that Hunter Biden
(12:36):
had which he should never have had. Steven, I'm not sure,
and I hope you don't. If you have a family
member or a friend who was in recovery from addiction
alcohol or drugs, the last thing you do is send
that person globe trotting around the world as a bag man,
exposed to all of those kinds of private interests with
(12:56):
regard to prostitutes, with regard to who drugs and alcohol
to enable all of those addictions, and doing so again
with this very shallow self interest that well, this is
the one guy that could bring in money for the family.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Right and if we would call Hunter Bidens basically spent
the last three years crashing on the Oval Office couch.
And this was, you know, the close and I'm not
saying that you you aren't close with your family, but
for anyone who had reservations about, you know, Ivanka Trump
or Jeri Kushner's role in the Trump administration, it was
recorded Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were the last two holdouts,
(13:33):
you know, when they were trying to break Joe Biden's
arm to get him out of the race. And it
was because of things like this, because of a pardon
and because of the power, and once Joe Biden walks
out of that office, the Brady train is over. And
so that has a lot to do with this. And
it is okay to be uncomfortable with Hunter Biden's presence
at the White House and his influence over his father
(13:55):
and how many decisions is he's sitting in on as
we heard advisors of Biden were to because Hunter Biden
was sitting in on intelligence meetings. And this is a
guy who again crashed at his father's house during COVID
while boxes of UNSI classified documents sat in the garage.
And again, when you have a guy who is compromised
(14:15):
and who has business ties to the CCP in China,
and then a spy balloon floats over the country for
eight days while nothing is done about it, all of
these questions start to get raised about how much foreign
influence is over this family, basically all the stuff that
you know the media tells us between Trump and Russia
but pays no at tanking to the Biden family ties
(14:36):
to Ukraine. Internal Steven O.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Miller reads these on X Versus Media podcast host One
more comment here along those lines, the media have they
learned their lesson while they're trying to cya, and Jake
Tapper was among them for CNN.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
President Biden lying about this, of course makes others in
his administration and allies either credulous or complicit, including.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
White House Press Secretary Kreens Jan Pierre.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Who's been saying this for months to the American people.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Is there any possibility that the president would end up
hardening his son? Yea, thank you. I just said no,
I just answer it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I can speak for the president, and he said he
would not pardon his son.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
The president have any intention of pardoning him.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Which is now the answer does not stand. It does
not stand. And Jake Tapper not only covered it, he
called Joe Biden a liar, said he lied about this,
and Steven I'm just looking forward and I don't know
if things will change. But Donald Trump's out of the
equation now. His following will continue, maybe in the form
of jd Vance, Rond de Santis will see. But has
the media learned anything from this utter embarrassment that they've
(15:44):
made themselves to be because they were so in the
tank against Trump that that was a higher calling than journalism.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Was Yeah, I mean, I guess good on Jake Tapper.
We'll see how he acts. Wh Kareem John Pierre is
nade a scene and contributor here about six time MSNBC
because if you recall, you know, when Sean Spice or
lied about inauguration crowds from the sacred podium of the
press briefing room and then he started shopping around for
a contributor gig, he was blacklisted and that became a
(16:11):
thing like NBC wouldn't hire him, and they frowned on CBS.
And then when Roha McDaniel was hired at NBC, you
had Chuck Todd crying on the air that you can't
have somebody of this nature, you know, walking through our respected,
hollowed halls. And what's going to happen is in a
six months green John Pierre is going to get a
contrier contract with NBC or MSNBC or CNN, and not
(16:32):
a single person will throw their arms up about how
she's an untrusted liar. Jake Tapper will welcome her on
set and they will just carry on as though none
of this happened. There is a there is a double
standard when it comes to things like this, and I
guess the good news for us and good news for
someone like me less than you know, the amount of
people who watched CNN and MSNBC crowd at Mile High
(16:54):
Stadium is bigger than that, so like it was last night,
and so I guess that that's solid as we take.
But no, this is all performative. Dick Tapper is not
a journalist. He performs the news for CNN. He goes
on and you know, he doesn't act. And Kareem John
Peter is going to go walking in one of these
places here and you know, like I said, about probably
six months to a year, and they are all going
(17:14):
to just welcome her in like she's one of the crew,
just like they did with Jennifer Saki.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Think about the cleanse. Think about the enema that Washington
is going to get with Donald Trump as president of
the United States, both at home and abroad, domestically and internationally,
whether it's the war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza,
the trade war with China. There are so many fronts
that Donald Trump is far more qualified to attack then
(17:42):
certainly Kamala Harris, but of course Joe Biden. And this
is just another example of why I believe Donald Trump
not only could he have the war and Ukraine ended
by the time he's sworn in, I think that's a
very real possibility. I believe the hostages of October seventh
that have been held ever since by Moss may be returned.
And it's the basis of this strong talk right here
(18:05):
on truth social from Donald Trump. Everybody's talking about the
hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely and against
the will of the entire world in the Middle East.
But it's all talk, no action. Please let this truth
serve to represent that if the hostages are not released
prior to January twentieth, twenty twenty five, the date that
(18:29):
I proudly assume office as President of the United States,
there will be all held to pay in the Middle East,
and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity,
those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been
hit in the long and storied history of the United
States of America. Release the hostages, now, that's the sort
(18:54):
of talk we've been missing in the Oval Office for
four years. And spack in the form of the Orange
man stick and stay to Ryan Schuling Lot.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
The long term impact of what we did to this
city is going to You're going to see it materialized
in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of
New York City. And when people hear me say six
point four billion dollars, they may say, Okay, it's just
a billionaire billionaire. No, we didn't invest in seniors the
(19:25):
way we should have and young people the way we
should have. We're not going out to get these chronic
absence the students the way we should have.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The crimes that we've witnessed.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
This impacted our city, and people don't seem to understand
why were you fighting so hard for this?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Because I reflected.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
On that eleven year old boy that was denied, and
I want into government to stop these eleven year old boys.
And I came up with a plan to do so,
and the federal government made me take six point four
billion dollars out of providing these services that we should
We all should be angry happened to our city under
this administration.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Has Eric Adams, Mayor of New York City, been red
pilled back on Ryan Schuling Live, I advanced the notion
and the theory. Now recall Eric Adams at one time
was a Republican now probably one of these New York
City wishy washy, kind of squishy moderate Republicans. But we'll
(20:28):
take it in New York City and that venue. That's
why when people complain, let's say about Susan Collins and Maine,
I'm here to tell you we're not going to get
a better Republican senator out of Maine, which leans pretty
strongly blue. We do get one congressional district vote in
the electoral College for president from Maine, but even within
(20:49):
that district, Jared Golden, who's a Democrat, just narrowly won again.
So Susan Collins isn't perfect, and she's not even close,
but she's better than a Democrat would be in that position.
Could we go back in time get Olympia snow. I mean,
that's fodder for conversation, and perhaps there's a talk show
(21:09):
like this, but it's not realistic. I am far more
infuriated over somebody like Lisa Murkowski. In a solidly red
state like Alaska, there's no way that we should have
to put up with somebody like Lisa Murkowski. But she
is such a part of the deep state. She has
her hands in the honeypot and getting donations from across
(21:31):
the state of Alaska, including from some Native American tribes there,
the Inuits, the Eskimos, et cetera. She does stand on
the right side of energy when it comes to anwar,
but unvirtually everything else. She's real murky murky Murkowski, as
I call her. But Eric Adams, he's a former NYPD officer,
(21:51):
he's a former Republican. And if you'll recall, at the
l Smith dinner, Donald Trump went all in on Bill
de Blasio. Bill Deblasio's terrible. He's the worst mayor in
the history of New extenty. Not Eric Adams. I feel
bad for him. He's endured some of the same law
fair I have. If you remember that, don't think that
(22:13):
was without a purpose. There's always a method to the
madness of the Orange Man of Donald Trump. He didn't
do that by accident. He knows. Eric Adams is persuadable,
he's malleable. He's not all the way lost on the
lunatic left fringe.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There's a lot of things Eric Adams has done and
said that I disagree with that I shake my head
at But is he an upgrade over Bill Deblasio. He
absolutely is, and I am a person who is intent
on building a big tent for our Republican Party to
bring people in. You know, for all his past transgressions.
(22:50):
If Eric Adams is willing to come on over and
join the Fray and be part of the make America
Great Again movement or conservatism or whatever whatever it is
he views this side of the ledger ass being the
better bet, then yes, I will stand with Eric Adams
in a challenge against somebody the likes of former Governor
(23:12):
Cuomo Andrew Cuomo. No, no, I want no part of that.
But Eric Adams, folks, he was just getting started. This
dude has zero f's left to give and I'm here
for it, open.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
To hearing what their plan is to deport some of
these folks.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And you think the city in some circumstances should cooperate with.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Us, let me let me you know what's interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And I was talking to the team the other day.
I want you to all go back and.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Yep, google what they
said about those who commit crimes in our city and
what they said in our country. They said, those who
commit crimes need to get out right away.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
That was them.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
So this is not a new position, you know, because
in the state of in the era of cancel culture,
no one's afraid to be honest about the truth. Well,
cancel me, because I'm going to protect the people of the.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
City I love. This Woke is dead, common sense is back.
We're back, baby. Eric Adams has abandoned any pretense of
political correctness, of adhering to the skolds of cancel culture
by saying you must welcome and embrace every illegal migrant
(24:37):
in your city. He knows that is foolhardy. He knows
that's a losing bet, and he has a reelection bid
to win. And unlike Mike Johnson here in Commi, Colorado,
who apparently doesn't have that fear, Eric Adams has a
healthy fear. He gets it. He knows what's going on.
He looked at a map, perhaps at the New York Times,
(24:59):
and saw these diet to the right red arrows in
the state of New York, in every borough of New
York City, going Trump's direction. Kamala Harris was the first
presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in his re election effort
after the Great Depression in the stock market crash of
nineteen twenty nine. Kamala Harris is the first presidential nominee
(25:23):
to not flip a single district in her direction from
the previous election. Those who are smart, like Eric Adams,
apparently here they know which way the wind blows, and
it's not blowing in the direction perhaps the Democratic Party
thought anticipated or hoped for. I don't know if he's
(25:43):
all the way there, but here he is voicing support
for DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and
Vivek Ramaswami. Like I said, he was just getting started.
He was nowhere near close to done. Eric Adams, Democrat,
New York City.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
This is any fishing, This is any fishing to do.
And so I'm hoping he's going to examine all of
the inefficiencies that we're seeing in government because I came
in with the same energy and spirit. We have been
wasting tax payers money for far too long, and we
need to start wasting.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Tax pays money.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
So his observation is the observation that I had.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But we had no other choice put to do just that. Eric,
come on back home. You were a Republican at one time.
You were using your better judgment. You didn't become a
Republican by accident. Maybe you left the party, maybe become disaffected.
Maybe you thought orange man bad, I'm gonna walk away.
Come on back. You'll be welcomed with open arms. This
(26:45):
is the kind of guy that changes the game, folks.
If Eric Adams is back on our team or at
least neutral, if he disavows the Democratic Party and all
these Wilke principles that have driven America and leadership up
under Democrats and American cities and states into the ground,
there is hope. This is a flicker of hope. This
(27:06):
is a flame that I want to help rekindle. And
Eric Adams is making a whole lot of sense right now.
And I don't say that lightly. Taking your thoughts five
seven seven three nine on the text line as we
close up shop, rapping of hour number two on this
Tuesday edition to Ryan Schuling live after this, guess who
(27:29):
just joined me live in the control room. We've got
the whole podcast set up going. She gives me the look,
the forlorn look with her glasses on. It's Kelly Cacera.
The sunshine is back. She's ready for all two hours
of Dan kaplis straight ahead, Kelly, where you been? I
missed you?
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I was walking. I didn't know you were on your
own board today. I thought you had a.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Producer.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Now, I was very sick about you though you were
Yeah really totally.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah, Well I'm more worried about my squirrel.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
What happened to yourqurel? I thought your squirrel got head
by a car. We talked about this.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Well that's what you're anticipated happened.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
No.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
No, I had a nice leisurely stroll.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You must have.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I uh went shopping.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Where'd you go shopping? What do you got there?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I have my Oh that's not what you bought?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Okay, No, I didn't buy anything. I just, like, you know,
windows shopped because you know we're kind of down right now.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, I got some news on that front.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So I talked to Adam yesterday. You did, your husband,
Adam Coucia? Yeah, great man, great America. And he does
the right thing in the voting booth.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
And I talked to him about Thursday night, your Green
Bay Packers against my Detroit Lions or suddenly a Juggernaut,
and he offered up. Think about this, he said, if
you were down, you were good with it. He will
spot up and get us a seat at JD's to
watch that game on Thursday night, because you know, by
the time we get out of here for Dan, for you,
(29:07):
it's going to be really tight.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
For me.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I know I'm gonna be a little bit late, but
he's gonna post up for us, as I call it,
and you can watch the game there. He's in, He's
in if you're in. That's what he told me.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
He had some bad news today, so he didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Have bad news yesterday, right, And you know what usually happens.
I am associated with the good news, and I don't
come attached like a dead weight to the bad news
me personally.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Okay, you even know why you're in here.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I thought you had on while he started the show.
For me, I had some rearranged clips. Oh my gosh,
an interview with Mike Davis that was off the top.
You remember him. You seen him on news Max, right, Yes, yeah,
he's a really article three project. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah,
big supporter of cash Betella's. I know you are too, yes,
FBI director.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
I like him, yes, right, yeah, it was all good.
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I just I literally just what if I knew you
were on your own board, totally, I would have been
here for you.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Dude. I've been so lonely. I've questioned my exsistence. It
was like Tom Hanks and Castaway with Wilson the volleyball.
I was talking to a volleyball.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
So you're compared, well, Adam did say yesterday, I have
a tiny head.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You do have very objectively and scientifically small cabaza. Yes, yeah,
but would you rather have a big head, like a
large bowling ball type head?
Speaker 7 (30:30):
You mean like yours?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't have it. I don't have a big head either.
That's big news. Yeah, I wear no. I wear a
seven and three eighths ball cap. That other big heads, Well,
it's small to medium my head, and I'll take that.
I don't have a like an overly large head. I
don't have a pinhead. Yours is closer to the pinhead variety.
(30:52):
I think that's what Adam was telling you.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Well, yeah, I think he's got to work around.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I don't know, for the headphones that wouldn't fit your
head because they were too big for your little head.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I saw it right and make him small.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I'm like, I can't it's as small as ittle go.
It was horrible.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
It was.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
It reminded me of the time when I tried to
like park Leland's car. Do you remember?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I remember that?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Yes, Because the stupid tornado was coming.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
We had to get it out of the hail and right, I.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Get it up for like far enough to actually touch
the pedals. So I was like on my tiptoes driving through.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
The parking tied like blocks on your feet.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Oh, it's horrible, so much. And then he got in
after yeh, and he was like, you were so tiny?
How in the hell did you sit.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Into my truck? He's pretty tall, He's like six to
one somewhere in there. I think, yeah, I'm only five ten,
so I'm somewhere in the middling stages. But yeah, you
were way too sharp.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
For the I mean, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You know what, though, I'm sorry you tried and you
were you were hero that day. I did you were here? Uh,
here's some tax five, sevens, seven, three and nine. Did
you hear Eric Adams today? Did you hear my clips
with Eric Adams?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I just got back from walking.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You could have been listening to the show whilst walk walking,
and I noticed that you weren't.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Sorry, do I not work on another show that.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Is not during not during my show?
Speaker 7 (32:16):
No, I'm sorry. I don't work from you do.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
But when you're walking, when you're walking, you could be
listening live. Well Ice this show. It's in the name
Ryan Shuling Live. That's why I put it in there.
My bad.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
You know what, I should have showed up your show
instead of listening to music.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That I actually maybe intermittently you could have alternated. But anyway,
oh my god, Eric Adams, I think is coming back
to our side. He was a Republican at one time,
the New York City mayor, and he is just scorched earth,
trashing the Democrats, embracing Tom Holman and Ice, deportations and
Doge and Doge. And I'm like, come on back, Eric,
(32:57):
You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
He doesn't have a choice, he's got thinking of that.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
But would you welcome him back?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
I would, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well I'll welcome everybody if.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
They come back. Yep, yeah, just come on back. And
this is what this Texter says. Eric Adams was chatting
it up with Donald Trump at a recent UFC event
in New York City and Madison Square Garden. Yep, he's
trying to get on the Donald's good side. Why wouldn't he.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Did you see Trudeau coming down and kissing.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
The ring now justin if you don't like it, if
the tariffs are too much, you can become the fifty
first staid and you'll be the governor.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Jolie said that it's so good, it's so awesome.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I can't wait for my Trump. Hot takes bet that
you and I came up.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
You helped with that, by the way, Yes, yeah, Hot takes.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, with Donna Summer and all that good. That would
be another one. Here's one from Alexa Kelly is hilarious.
So you have you got that going for you, which
is nice. Ryan. I think the US is destined to
be involved in Biden's version of beach blanket pardon Bingo
for the next two months. True. I mean he started
(34:01):
with Hunter. That was like the Hiroshima. We're waiting for
the Nagasaki. We we'll see about preemptively pardoning ahead of
a crime. This is a very good point. I think
two Texters have made it. Yes, remember Ford pardon Nixon preemptively?
He did. You're exactly right and I remember that's what
my both my parents, my mom and my dad, cited
(34:22):
as the reason why they voted for Jimmy Carter in
nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
But don't you think that Biden also wanted the praise
of wanting to pardon his son instead of Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Doing it right, He wanted to get ahead of that. Now, well,
Biden pardoned the Jan sixers to get ahead of Trump
on that front. Why not books go for Do you
think he will?
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You really think he will?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:42):
And I think he'll probably make someone to Biden too. Okay,
we talked to Miranda about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
This from a Texter speaking of Miranda, Ryan, you get
great interviews. Thank you two exclamation points. Some of that
thanks goes to Kelly, especially Miranda Devine. Stay tuned the
Dan Capla shows next. This has been Ryan Ling won
