This is Dan Caples and welcome totoday's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis
Show. Please be sure to giveus a five star rating if you'd be
so kind, and to subscribe,download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. That come in here every day determined
to do one thing, put asmile on your face, and I deliver
(00:20):
on that almost every day for almostthirty years. I'm not sure I'll be
able to do it today. Well, let me take that back. I
will be able to do it today. There are so many things to smile
about today. But unfortunately, thereis a hard truth that we have to
face together right now. And I'vebeen preparing all of us for it for
a long time, so it's notgoing to come as any surprise. But
(00:43):
we know how life works, right, We know this challenge is coming.
But then you know, you thinkof the back of your mind, Okay,
man, maybe not just maybe youknow, but Biden will hang in
there and he will be the candidateon election day. And but it's not
to be. It's not to be. Biden is very very soon going to
be gone. The only issue iswhether he's just going to be gone as
(01:03):
the nominee, which is a certaintyat this point. The only question is
timing, and it's far likely tobe sooner than later, or whether he
is also going to resign the presidency. And he made some comments today that
can be taken as opening the doorto do that. I'm not sitting here
telling you, hey, Biden's goingto resign the presidency. If I'm betting
in my car, I think it'smore likely he doesn't. But when he
(01:26):
came out today and for the veryfirst time, he said, when somebody
said, and they asked him allthe time, for obvious reasons, say
what would it take to get youto leave? And he added a new
scenario today, and the scenario was, and it's hard to kind of repeat
all this because you know the wayhe talks, it's hard to put it
together. But the scenario is ifa doctor came to him and told him
(01:48):
he had a condition, I'm sorry, That's the best I can do for
you. And trying to assemble aBiden's sentence. But for the very first
time, Biden opened that apra Andso we now know, we now know
what the excuse is going to bewhen he declares he's not seeking the nomination.
It's going to be a doctor hascome to him and said, hey,
(02:10):
you have this condition, and thiscondition is new, and therefore I
have to step aside. We knowthat now is going to be the out,
but is it also going to bethe reason he resigns the presidency eight
five five for zero five A twofive five. There reason I raise it
is obviously if if their candidate isgoing to be Kamala, then if she
(02:31):
is cloaked in the presidency between sometimesoon an election day, she will be
a more formidable candidate. So let'shope, let's hope, I'd say,
let's hope first that the candidate isKamala, but beyond that, let's hope
that she is not president between nowan election day. That that scenario could
(02:53):
very well well unfold. I dowant to put one caveat on that,
though, and that is this,as I always say, and I know
you feel the same way, thebest interests of the United States come first.
And here you're probably torn, right, I know I am, because
the best interests in the United Statesare overwhelmingly served by Donald Trump getting a
(03:15):
second term. But in the shortterm, the United States is a grave
danger with Joe Biden as president everysingle minute, every hour, every day.
So I will never sit here andlook you in the eye and say,
boy, you know, I suredesperately hope Biden hangs on to be
(03:36):
president until the end of his termbecause America's in danger every day is And
if I could wave the magic wand, as I said before, I would
wave that wand and I would haveBiden resigned the presidency today because as terrible
a president as Harris will be,she would be a better president right now
than Biden is. Because we haveno president. Right, we have I
(03:58):
think Rich Lowry wrote this today,right Ryan, we have a national embarrassment.
Now. I don't mean that inthe playground sense, the pejorative sense.
He is a national embarrassment in theliteral dangerous sense. And so so
the best interests of this nation betweennow and January twenty are served by having
Biden resign the presidency today. Thelong term best interests of the nation are
(04:21):
best served by Trump getting this secondterm. And so you see where that
tension is. Because of Kamala Harrisassumes the presidency today or tomorrow, in
or week whatever, she is goingto be a stronger presidential candidate. Doesn't
mean she will win the presidency.She will just be a stronger candidate.
Okay, So I'm looking at yourJoe Biden Rubik's cube. Here, pop
(04:44):
up Biden positive for COVID. Yeahyeah, oh wow, yeah, Well
that's not going to help him,right, But just to walk through this
with the listeners down, because I'mlooking at your Joe Biden excess strategies like
a Rubik's cube, and you gotto solve the cube. And I think
you're you're you're on target with thea lot of stuff that you're saying.
But there's three possible outcomes here,and I'm trying to arrive at the middle
one that you're suggesting that one outcomewhich I think. Sorry, I'm so
(05:09):
sorry to interrupt you. This pollresult just popped up. Paul just came
out today. Would Kamala Harris bea good president? What percentage did she
get from independence? I just seeit right now, and it's bad.
I'm seeing twenty twenty percent from independencebe a good president? Only thirty five
percent favorability from independence too. Anywayto complete my thought, I'm still on
(05:32):
the square until he leaves. Kickdragging, kicking, and screaming, just
like Jill Biden. He either staysin the race and stays as president.
That's option one. Option three ishe gets out of the race and he
resigns as president. You're advancing atheory that I'm not sure how it works.
How you talk Joe Biden halfway intoone dropping out of the race,
(05:54):
but then he doesn't agree to dropout of the presidency, which would strengthen
and bolster to your point, KamalaHarris is candidacy. I don't see him
going halfway on that issue, Like, I'm not giving up the presidency,
but I won't run. I don't. I think that's easy. I think
it's either all or nothing. No, not at all, my friend.
And here's why. And logically hecould make the case for that, right
(06:14):
because it's easy, logically well notaccurate. He could come out and say,
hey, you know it's it's Iam getting older. I've accomplished all
these great things, but nobody defeatsfather time. I want to pass the
torch to a new generation of leadership. But but I am certainly I'm one
of the best presidents in American history, and I still am, and I'm
(06:35):
going to see this term through.That's easy to do, right, because
that's just a very easy thing forhim. It's easy for him. But
hold on, how can you justifyas a Democrat party that he's not fit
to run as the candidate, butwe can go ahead and leave him in
office as the president older? Well, how can you leave him in office
as president? That's essential. Thirdto the country that you say that he
(06:57):
is from their point of view,right, because they love easily because all
they say is that, hey,he's getting older, and so he won't
be able to successfully serve out afull four year term. So in fairness
to the voters, he's passing thetorch to a new generation of leadership.
They'll never admit. He will neveradmit. He will never admit that he's
(07:18):
mentally incapable of serving as president rightnow. So I think that that would
be, while untrue, it wouldbe a coherent explanation. But Ryan,
I don't see any scenario short ofshort of the Democrats ready to publicly reveal
(07:38):
stuff that could put him in jail. I don't see any scenario where he
gives up the presidency. But thething is, I mean, they'll give
up a second term, but notresigned prior to the end of his first
term. The cat's already out ofthe bag with the American public, though,
Dan they lied to us for yearssaying he was coherent. Then the
American people saw the debate and theyknow that he's not, so they they
(07:59):
can't keep up this kabooki theater.They can't well. But then you run
into the twenty fifth Amendment, becausethere are a lot of very strong arguments
based in history that the twenty fifthAmendment is limited to those situations where,
for example, let's say, Godforbid, a president gets shot and that
president's in a coma, and thatpresident may never come out of the coma,
that the twenty fifth Amendment is limitedto those situations, versus a debate
(08:24):
over whether the president has lost somuch of his cognitive ability that he can
no longer function well enough. Andthat's why, as you know, the
twenty fifth Amendment makes it really hardto get rid of somebody because you got
to get half the cabinet, yougot to get the VP, but then
then you got to get two thirdsof the House and Senate. So all
I'm saying is the twenty fifth Amendmentis out here as things stand today,
(08:48):
even though he obviously is not capableof serving, and so will he resign
the presidency before the end of hisfirst term? I think highly, highly
unlikely unless they have something on himso explosive, so damaging that he has
no choice. But dan, isn'tthere a large cross section the American public,
(09:09):
the voters, the people that aresick of being lied to, and
that he's sitting there in office serveout the rest of this term, and
this Democratic Party insults our intelligence saying, wait, we're going to replace him.
He can't run for office anymore,but he's going to serve out these
rest of the months, and theremight be a war situation, he might
get a nuclear call at eleven pm. People are going to buy this crab,
right, But you think Joe Bidencares about the people? Do the
(09:31):
Democrats about anything? Does the DemocraticParty care about winning? Right? But
just can the Democratic Party get twothirds in the House and Senate to write,
can they get Kamala Harris half thecabinet in two thirds of the Houses
and Senate to throw him out?On the twenty fifth? Lee stays in,
how can you talk him into droppingout? Then? Oh, he's
out he's in. Can you talkhim into that we got to hit this
break. I'll explain with Quebec.But it is done. It is one
(09:52):
hundred and ten percent done. Heis not going to be the nominee.
I wish I could say otherwise,love for him to remain the nominee.
He's not going to be, sonow the only question is who is it
going to be and when and whatdo we need to do to beat that
person? Eight five five four zerofive eight two five five text d an
(10:13):
five seven seven three nine and nowback to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
As a citizen, as a husband, and as a father, I am
alarmed that the current president of theUnited States lacks the capability to discharge the
duties of his office. Our enemiesdo not confine their designs to between ten
(10:37):
am and four pm. We needwe need a commander in chief who can
lead twenty four hours a day andseven days a week. America cannot afford
four more years of a weekend atBernie's presidency. Only one of the lines
(11:00):
of the night. We've been sayingit for what two years here on the
show, But good job by RonDeSantis overall last night eight five to five
for zero five eight two five fivethe number, of course, if you've
been up on the news today,the end approaching very rapidly for Joe Biden's
tenure as the presumptive nominee. Theonly real remaining question is whether he will
remain in the presidency through the endof his term. I don't base that
(11:26):
on the fact we're now being toldhe has COVID experiencing mild symptoms. This
is all separate apart from that,and we talked about in the first segment.
Will continue to let me get tosome quick text, Dan, he
doesn't have the poker face. Whoare they referring to there, Ryan,
Dan. It pains me to agreewith you and disagree with Ryan, but
(11:46):
I have to. Biden resigns thepresidency, Kamala becomes forty seven, Trump
becomes forty eight. They get tokeep all their donation money, and the
Democrats can now say they had thefirst female president. I am not predicting
that Biden will resign the presidency.I think that it's sixty forty against right
now. I think that scenario thatthe Texter paints is probably the best possible
outcome at the moment, But Idon't think they're gonna get it. I
(12:09):
just don't think there's a path toit. I think it's kind of what
you're saying, but I don't knowhow they talk him halfway. You're not
gonna run, but you're gonna stayin office. We're gonna have that compromise
verdict here. He's either all inor he's all out. And I think
he's all in. Yeah, let'shope you're right, but you're wrong.
Not personal. He's done as nomineeand he'll stay in the Presidency's saying I'm
(12:30):
just aging, you know, andI won't be able to serve a second
for your term. Dan, Ishe coherent enough to play this game that
a doctor would tell him? Referringto the news of the day Biden coming
out and opening the door to leavinghis nominee if a doctor told him he
had quote unquote a condition, Now, does that mean COVID? Does that
(12:50):
mean something else? But that samerationale could also justify resigning early from the
presidency. That though I don't expectthat, but there's only one and Biden
threw that out there because until nowhe's been saying no, he is going
to be the nominee unless they showhim he can't possibly win. And now
he's opened this other exit ramp,and that's the one he's going to take,
(13:13):
probably very very very soon. Dan, is it true that Biden had
a medical emergency a week ago onAir Force One? In my view,
every day is a medical emergency forJoe Biden. Let's go to the phone
lines, and I want to getto some of these speeches last night.
There were so many great speeches,and Ryan's worked so hard to pull a
lot of tremendous sound. And evenif you heard this stuff last night,
(13:35):
I think you want to hear itagain. And let me play one bite
real quick, just because I thoughtit was one of the funniest moments of
the night if you were watching liveas I was. When Nicki Haley took
the stage before she said this,she did something that had everybody on edge.
I'll start by making one thing perfectlyclear. Donald Trump has my strong
(14:03):
endorsement. Perry, very very importantthing for her to say, obviously,
But she started by saying President Trumpasked me to speak in the interest of
unity. And Trump turns to jd Vance and nobody had to be a
lip reader. But it's been confirmedtoday through lip readers jd Vance and said
(14:26):
she asked to speak here we go, and so at that point I think
Trump expected it to really get wild. But to the phone lines, Eerie
might kind enough to join us onthe Dan Kapla show. Eerie a very
welcome critic of me, and I'msure many other things. How you doing,
Erie, Hey, doing just fine? Didn't her wonderful? So hey,
(14:50):
uh, I you know you've beenpredicting for quite a long time that
Biden is not going to be thecandidate. I agreed with you, and
I wonderful. You did a greatjob of setting that up. And I
think you're dead on, especially withthis way, this revelation about I think
it's yeah, I'm getting there.I think it's really clear that that he
(15:11):
does in a medical condition. He'scognitively inept at times and then cognitively sharp
at times. So I think he'sgot a condition, no question. But
I just think, you know,but I think this is the death nail
for Trump because frankly, but allthey're going to, all the Democrats are
gonna have to do is play thejd Vance quotes of what he said before
(15:33):
he became a a mega guy,and that's going to bury Trump. I
mean, it's gonna be so embarrassing. He explain the logic to me,
Mike, because I don't think anybody'sgoing to care about that except people who
already are voting against Trump. Soexplain that one to me. So I
think of anybody that might be onthe on the sideline, it hasn't really
(15:54):
been keeping up with this. Theysay, Okay, so jd pick jd
Vance And what did jd Vance sayabout Trump? You know before four years
ago, three years ago, whatever, that if you voted for Trump,
you were an idiot, That Trumpis likely Americus Hitler, you know,
other quotes like that. I thinkthat might sway people that are sort of
in the middle ago with jeez,why would he be jumping on Trump's bandwagon
(16:17):
at this point? Well, butI don't follow your logic, Mike,
because people are going to believe theirown eyes. They're going to believe what
they see of Trump, and they'regoing to make the decision based on that,
not on what some guy they've barelyever heard of thought of Trump four
years ago. And you know jadVance's explanation, which is, hey,
and then I was proven wrong thenI saw his presidency. But no,
(16:37):
I think there is As I've predictedfor a long time, Mike, I
think that it's about to get muchrougher for Trump because Biden will not be
the nominee, and anybody else theycan put up there is going to be
tougher to beat than Biden. Now, I think Trump will still win.
I think if Michelle Obama becomes thenominee, then we're an uncharted territory.
(17:00):
All bets are off, and it'sjust going to be a total brawl till
probably a week after election day.I might appreciate the call, thank you,
my friend. We could hear theold turn signal there. That's always
a hint to a move on.But no, listen to the Michelle Obama
thing. I'm not going to beatit into the ground. It is what
(17:21):
it is. I've been saying itfor over two years on the show,
and it was true then and it'strue now. If she wants the nomination,
it is hers, and she wouldbe by multiples the hardest Democrat to
be And that's just the reality.And we'll just find out if she wants
it now. Now. One ofthe political impacts of the horror on Saturday
(17:44):
and Donald Trump's courageous, high characterresponse. Is it makes it less likely
Michelle Obama will enter the race becauseit makes it harder for her to beat
Trump. Said all along, theone thing that would keep her out of
the race is fear of losing toDonald Trump. It is now much more
(18:07):
difficult to beat Trump after his heroismon Saturday and his great leadership and physical
courage and character display on Saturday.So maybe that keeps her out of the
race. I think another thing isthere's not a consensus built around her.
She is not like the layup.Not everybody's gonna call less around her.
There's gonna be massive chaos at theconvention. There'll be fighting on the floor.
(18:29):
Whitmer'll want it, Newsimal want it, Harris is gonna want it.
They're not gonna bowl down to MichelleObama. Dan, I'm walking behind that
glass during this break, and I'mgonna find out what you guys are ingesting.
I truly am, because when wecome back and we'll get to our
fiery lines, great text and amazingsound from less Night, but I want
to hear from you who give mea name, who is going to stand
up and oppose Michelle Obama if shewants the nomination. The answer not a
(18:55):
you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Showpodcast. That that roof have been secure
period. That building in particular hasa slope roof at its highest point,
and so you know there's a safetyfactor that would be considered there that we
wouldn't want to put somebody up ona slope roof, and so you know
the decision was made to secure thebuilding from inside. Wow, And everybody
(19:17):
knows that's a big lie. Andso our starting point now is a big
lie. And it's what I've beendoing for forty years in courtrooms and what
you've been doing your entire life.And that is when somebody lies, and
they lie like that, they're lyingfor a reason. And when I say
(19:41):
that to a jury, people liefor a reason, almost every head nods
because and the people aren't nodding theirhead openly are green because it's undeniable.
People lie for a reason. Andthe bigger the lie normally, the bigger
the reason. And when you're directorof the US Secret Service and the soon
to be president was almost assassinated onyour watch and you openly lie about it,
(20:06):
and you know that everybody listening knowsyour lyne. That's a very important
starting point. Why is she lying? Would she tell a lie like that
just to cover incompetence, just tocover Hey, I'm sorry, we had
a plan, there was human error. The guy who was supposed to be
there didn't show up. Would shetell a lie like that that she has
(20:27):
to know that the administration has toknow, because do you think she's winging
this? That the administration has toknow is going to be ridiculed around the
world within minutes by everybody over theage of two. I mean, how
many pictures have we seen on theinternet now of cows on slanted roofs all
right all over the world. Soor some of the counter team snipers that
(20:49):
were on a slanted roof themselves atthat scene, real quick, Dan,
Yeah, this is just in fromColin rug On X. Secret Service was
aware of the potential threat ten minutesbefore Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania,
but let him go out anyway.The revelation was made during a Senate
briefing today. Senate Marshall Blackburn saysshe was quote appalled to learn the Secret
Service and knew about a threat priorto President Trump walking on stage. I
(21:12):
have no confidence in the leadership ofDirector Cheetle and believe it is in the
best interest of our nation if shesteps down from her position. And as
we go to our gam lines,the enormous question for you, why is
she telling this obvious, enormous lie. What's really going on here? Let's
go to our gem lines. We'llstart in Texas with Dean. You're on
(21:33):
the Dan Caplis Show. Welcome,Hey, Dean. We'll try to get
Dean back. He might be havinga personal moment aka at bathroom break.
We'll go down to beautiful Peblo.Talk to Jeff. You're on the Dan
Caplis Show. Welcome Jeff for youWhy yeah, so Dan, I agree
(21:56):
with you ninety nine percent of thetime. And I would have agreed with
Michelle Obama as being able to walkin and take it up until a couple
of weeks ago, when now theDemocrats are in full mailtdown. Barack has
not had the ability to convince Joeto step down, and it's almost like
(22:17):
they're at each other's throat. SoI think that I don't think I think
that there's too much fighting amongst them. I who would stand up to her
answer the question? My friend Ryanis ducked. Who will stand up to
her if she says I want itthe Biden's Well, at this point,
Biden has stepped aside. Knewsom wouldstand up. Think that a lot of
(22:41):
them will stand in multiple small packsagainst it, because they're going to say,
you let us all fight amongst ourselveswhen you knew this problem, Brock,
what Joe's decline and you let usall look like idiots. We can't
trust you to throw us under thebus, Jeff, So, I hope
you're right, my friend. Ihope you are right. Dean is back
(23:03):
down in the Great State of Texas. You're on the Dan KAPLI show.
Welcome, hey man, thank you. I think the problem with Michelle Obama
is she doesn't have Like Ryan said, she's not in the game right now.
I mean, she doesn't even spoke, and I think everybody's thinking of
the third term of Obama already.So I think she's just a terrible candidate.
(23:26):
And then number two, I thinkthere's multiple collapses in the security for
Trump between the local cops and thetwo percent. Great in that room.
What a joke? Yeah, Amento that Dean appreciate the call. Just
starting first with Michelle Obama again,we've now heard the theory that Devin Newsom
(23:47):
would stand up to her. Nota chance, not a chance. Who
among these other Democrats who's looking ata political future would dare alienate Michelle Obama's
following, which is vastest and she'dbe a horrific president on policy, there's
no question. But which Democrat isgoing to throw away their political career by
alienating her constituency? Are you operatingin a world where Kamala Harris doesn't exist?
(24:11):
Because how in the actual hell areyou going to just tell her,
hey, no, it's her turn. She thinks that she's the vice president.
She put in the time she servedin the office, she carried Joe
around. How are you going tojust convince her to step aside Ryan at
the risk of spoiling the outcome foreverybody. And one of the things I
admire about you so much, andthere are so many, is that you're
(24:33):
color blind. But Michelle Obama isblack also, and so the difficulty that
we've heard so many on the leftarticulating, wait a second, the party
can't set aside a black woman inline for the presidency in favor of a
Gavin Newsom or a fill in theblank. That problem goes away the second
(24:57):
Michelle Obama says I want to bethe nominee. Dan, that is a
very overt obler oversimplification. And Iwill go back to the one time I've
ever agreed with Sonny Houston, shesaid, as a black woman herself,
Dan, they're not interchangeable. That'skind of a condescending the meaning thing to
say, like, well, blackwoman equals black. I was talking about
(25:18):
the the identity politics issue that youand many many others of race. How
can they possibly justify a leapfrogging ablack female vice president. And my answer
is Michelle Obama is also black.Michelle Obama was first Lady. But if
Michelle Obama wants it, they willget Kamala Harris out of the way.
(25:41):
Before Michelle Obama publicly says she wantsthe implication, Dan from you just saying
that, I know you're saying it'scoming from the left, but that they're
interchangeable. And when Sonny saying that, Sonny Houston said they're not, and
that Kamala it's not what black womanequals. Black woman you could, but
Oprah could go on, you know, what do you mean by interchangeable that
just because it's black woman X,that you can plug black women as for
(26:03):
black women? Why and you can'tdo that. I'm not sulted. I'm
not suggesting that at all. WhatI've done for years is talking very concrete
terms about all of the political assetsMichelle Obama brings to the table. I
have never once suggested that, oh, okay, they can take any black
woman and as long as it's ablack woman, they can knock Kamala Harris
(26:26):
out of the race. No,I haven't talked about any other black woman
in Democrat politics. I'm talking abouta former First Lady who fills arenas all
over this country. I had topay more from my wife's ticket to Michelle
Obama at Pepsi Center than I hadto pay for the Stones. Oh,
and so I'm talking about I'm talkingabout a particular woman of color who polls
(26:48):
eleven points better against Trump than anyother Democrat, including Kamala Harris. So
the point isn't any black women they'reinterchangeable. No, the point is Michelle
Obama, who also happens to bea black woman. He in what universe
And I've got to get back tothese gym lines. But in what universe
does Kamala Harris stand up to that? She is the vice president, She's
(27:12):
got a stake in this race.What I'm saying is she will fight.
She's not going to just back downbecause the Obamas come down from on high
and their ivory tower. I mean, you over asked Obama's. The Obamas
have polled in, but they're notthe whole kitten kaboodle. The Democratic Party
is fractured, they're divided. Therewill be a fight in the convention in
(27:32):
August. And Kamala Harris isn't goinganywhere. Where's the fracture? Barack Obama
came out and said Biden should go, and George Clooney was his mouthpiece for
that. Biden is about to go. Where's the fracture? Where is that
constituency for Biden? Right now?You need two sides to have a fracture.
(27:52):
If everything's on one side, thenwhat you have is a coastline.
But let's do this. If wemay, everybody on the gem lines,
you have our solemn pledge. Wecome back in a few minutes. We
go straight to our phone lines.Text exploding as well, so much good
sound from last night. Why whydid the Secret Service director tell this big
lie that they couldn't put anybody onthe roof because it was too slanted.
(28:17):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show
podcast. Look at the map rightnow that gets Donald Trump to three hundred
and three, and there's new pollingtoday that shows the president's approval rating in
these battleground states is below forty.The president's ballot number right now is below
forty in most of those states,and at forty two in Nevada. It's
very hard in sixteen weeks we countthe vote sixteen weeks from tonight to turn
(28:41):
that around. Plus Democrats are nowworried. They think, I'm not saying
this is going to happen, Butwhat they're saying is the President's going to
have to spend more time and moreresources on places like Virginia because it's competitive,
on places like New Hampshire because it'scompetitive. You look at this map
as it plays out, and thereare Democrats making the case, and we
have Wisconsin blue here, let's moveWisconsin over here. There are Democrats making
(29:03):
the case that Donald Trump is ona viable path as of today to get
to three hundred and thirty electoral votes. Well, you gotta love it,
right, love hearing that. Now, that's one of the reasons that Joe
Biden will very very very very soonno longer be the Democrat nominee. So
we're looking ahead today and we're talkingabout those next steps and what that's likely
(29:26):
to look like. Hey, aswe go back to the jam lines,
quick note, the DNC has nowbeen pressured by Schumer and Jeffrey significantly to
push back the virtual nomination of JoeBiden, which was scheduled for next week.
So so Biden had pressured the DNCto actually formally make him the nominee
next week to try to quell thisrebellion. That doesn't worked. They're pushing
(29:51):
it back a week, but they'llpush it back as long as they have
to to make sure Biden is notthe nominee. I think the end now
very very very near. In Denver, you're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Welcome, by the way, Lynn, Before we get going proving my point
in part, listen to this statementthat just came out from the Trump campaign
regarding Vice presidential debates because Kamala Harrisis asked to schedule the vice presidential debate.
(30:15):
Quote, we don't know who theDemocrat nominee for vice president is going
to be, so we can't lockin a date before their convention. To
do so would be unfair to GavinNewsome, JB. Pritzker, Gretchen Wetmer,
or whoever Kamala Harris picks as herrunning mate. That the official statement
of the Trump campaign go Aheadling,Well, first, I'm relieved that Trump's
(30:40):
okay. I'm glad that Jadie Vanceis the nominee as the VP. Right
as of right now, Biden isstill the candidate. And I think that
waving a magic wand and wishing.I don't know where Michelle Obama comes from,
because let me just get this out. The money has to go to
(31:00):
Kamala And I don't believe for oneminute, and I do. I am
still with Ryan on this, andif I'm wrong, I'll stay I wrong
later. It has to be her. They cannot bypass her. And what
indication do you get from? Wheredo you get any indication that it can
be Michelle? Well, first ofall, that it can be Michelle.
(31:22):
Do you mean that whether she wouldget it if she wanted it, well,
what she's not even in this stratosphereof this only when you say I
think it could be Michelle, ButLynn, I don't want it to be
Michelle. Here or here are theindicators though, okay, and pick them
in any order you want. FullArena's across the United States, at high
(31:42):
ticket prices, best selling books,former First Lady, and all the polling
right now where they run Democrats hadto head against Donald Trump, she fares
eleven points better, well, tenpoints better than any other Democrat, you
know, a Barack Obama unlimited money. Lynn, thanks for your call,
we have jam lines. I hopeyou call again soon. But on Lynn's
(32:04):
very reasonable point about money, twohundred and fifty million, and that's right,
I mean, the nomination would wouldhave to be official, and then
at that point Kamala Harris as VP, if Biden drops out as the as
the nominee for president, she wouldget that money. All I'm telling you
is two hundred and fifty million iscouch cushion change. To them, two
hundred and fifty million is not afactor for the Left. They can generate
(32:28):
two hundred and fifty million dollar incrementsanytime they want to, as long as
they're sufficiently motivated. Jason and Lakewood, you're on the Dan Kapla show.
Hey, Dan, I've got abit of a problem with the excuse about
the ganger of being on the roof, because ase I look at those pictures,
sure looks like there's a whole lotof pitch and that the roof that
(32:51):
the counter sniper team on is amedal oh yes, as opposed as a
flat rubber member and then spending afair amount of time on the roof proofs
around down And so why the lie? Why the life? I have no
idea, but that's the big question, right, why the lie? Everybody
knows it's a lie. She kneweverybody would know it was a lie when
she told it. This was notoff the cuff. You know, she
(33:14):
got this from the powers in theadministration, mayorcis whomever who told her how
to answer this question. They knewwas coming. Why the lie? Well,
and I think thank you for yourcall, Jason. I think the
lie because they can't admit the truth. So what is the truth of why
nobody was guarding that roof? Whatis the truth as to why they allowed
(33:37):
Trump to take the stage when theyknew there was this active assassination threat.
They knew they had somebody on theroof. They knew, well, let
me be more precise, they knewten minutes before he took the stage,
according to today's reporting, that therewas an active threat out there against Trump,
not only from Iran, but theyknew they had this suspicious actor on
(33:58):
the premises. But why tell thislie? What is the truth she's trying
to cover up by telling this obviouslie? Mike and Longmont, Welcome to
the show. Yeah, now Ican tell you why the lie happened.
The lie happened because they have acorrupt DOJ and they wanted to let somebody
in because they can't get rid ofthem through their corrupt DOJ. So they
(34:20):
figured the only way to take himout is what they attempted to do.
Let somebody get on the roof,pretend that it was an accident, that
he got through, and then problemsolved. Yeh See, Mike, I
personally and my mind is always opento follow facts. Personally, I don't
believe that this administration was in cohootswith the shooter to get Trump killed.
(34:42):
I don't believe that for a second. I got very very powerful case is
being made by many out there,including some prominent folks at the Federalist,
that there was a conscious deliberate decisionto shortchange Trump's security and leave him more
vulnerable. Now, there's a bigdifference between that and then becoming involved with
(35:05):
some actor who's going to harm Trump. I don't believe for a second the
administration was involved with the shooter.Is there a very real possibility they made
conscious, deliberate decisions that they knewwould leave Trump more vulnerable at a time
they knew he was under active threatof assassination from Iran. That I think
is a very real possibility. Let'skeep following the facts, so much to
(35:28):
talk about many more reasons to believetoday that Joe Biden will soon withdraws the
nominee. Who's the candidate going tobe
This is Dan Caples and welcome totoday's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis
Show. Please be sure to giveus a five star rating if you'd be
so kind, and to subscribe,download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. That come in here every day determined
to do one thing, put asmile on your face, and I deliver
(00:20):
on that almost every day for almostthirty years. I'm not sure I'll be
able to do it today. Well, let me take that back. I
will be able to do it today. There are so many things to smile
about today. But unfortunately, thereis a hard truth that we have to
face together right now. And I'vebeen preparing all of us for it for
a long time, so it's notgoing to come as any surprise. But
(00:43):
we know how life works, right, We know this challenge is coming.
But then you know, you thinkof the back of your mind, Okay,
man, maybe not just maybe youknow, but Biden will hang in
there and he will be the candidateon election day. And but it's not
to be. It's not to be. Biden is very very soon going to
be gone. The only issue iswhether he's just going to be gone as
(01:03):
the nominee, which is a certaintyat this point. The only question is
timing, and it's far likely tobe sooner than later, or whether he
is also going to resign the presidency. And he made some comments today that
can be taken as opening the doorto do that. I'm not sitting here
telling you, hey, Biden's goingto resign the presidency. If I'm betting
in my car, I think it'smore likely he doesn't. But when he
(01:26):
came out today and for the veryfirst time, he said, when somebody
said, and they asked him allthe time, for obvious reasons, say
what would it take to get youto leave? And he added a new
scenario today, and the scenario was, and it's hard to kind of repeat
all this because you know the wayhe talks, it's hard to put it
together. But the scenario is ifa doctor came to him and told him
(01:48):
he had a condition, I'm sorry, That's the best I can do for
you. And trying to assemble aBiden's sentence. But for the very first
time, Biden opened that apra Andso we now know, we now know
what the excuse is going to bewhen he declares he's not seeking the nomination.
It's going to be a doctor hascome to him and said, hey,
(02:10):
you have this condition, and thiscondition is new, and therefore I
have to step aside. We knowthat now is going to be the out,
but is it also going to bethe reason he resigns the presidency eight
five five for zero five A twofive five. There reason I raise it
is obviously if if their candidate isgoing to be Kamala, then if she
(02:31):
is cloaked in the presidency between sometimesoon an election day, she will be
a more formidable candidate. So let'shope, let's hope, I'd say,
let's hope first that the candidate isKamala, but beyond that, let's hope
that she is not president between nowan election day. That that scenario could
(02:53):
very well well unfold. I dowant to put one caveat on that,
though, and that is this,as I always say, and I know
you feel the same way, thebest interests of the United States come first.
And here you're probably torn, right, I know I am, because
the best interests in the United Statesare overwhelmingly served by Donald Trump getting a
(03:15):
second term. But in the shortterm, the United States is a grave
danger with Joe Biden as president everysingle minute, every hour, every day.
So I will never sit here andlook you in the eye and say,
boy, you know, I suredesperately hope Biden hangs on to be
(03:36):
president until the end of his termbecause America's in danger every day is And
if I could wave the magic wand, as I said before, I would
wave that wand and I would haveBiden resigned the presidency today because as terrible
a president as Harris will be,she would be a better president right now
than Biden is. Because we haveno president. Right, we have I
(03:58):
think Rich Lowry wrote this today,right Ryan, we have a national embarrassment.
Now. I don't mean that inthe playground sense, the pejorative sense.
He is a national embarrassment in theliteral dangerous sense. And so so
the best interests of this nation betweennow and January twenty are served by having
Biden resign the presidency today. Thelong term best interests of the nation are
(04:21):
best served by Trump getting this secondterm. And so you see where that
tension is. Because of Kamala Harrisassumes the presidency today or tomorrow, in
or week whatever, she is goingto be a stronger presidential candidate. Doesn't
mean she will win the presidency.She will just be a stronger candidate.
Okay, So I'm looking at yourJoe Biden Rubik's cube. Here, pop
(04:44):
up Biden positive for COVID. Yeahyeah, oh wow, yeah, Well
that's not going to help him,right, But just to walk through this
with the listeners down, because I'mlooking at your Joe Biden excess strategies like
a Rubik's cube, and you gotto solve the cube. And I think
you're you're you're on target with thea lot of stuff that you're saying.
But there's three possible outcomes here,and I'm trying to arrive at the middle
one that you're suggesting that one outcomewhich I think. Sorry, I'm so
(05:09):
sorry to interrupt you. This pollresult just popped up. Paul just came
out today. Would Kamala Harris bea good president? What percentage did she
get from independence? I just seeit right now, and it's bad.
I'm seeing twenty twenty percent from independencebe a good president? Only thirty five
percent favorability from independence too. Anywayto complete my thought, I'm still on
(05:32):
the square until he leaves. Kickdragging, kicking, and screaming, just
like Jill Biden. He either staysin the race and stays as president.
That's option one. Option three ishe gets out of the race and he
resigns as president. You're advancing atheory that I'm not sure how it works.
How you talk Joe Biden halfway intoone dropping out of the race,
(05:54):
but then he doesn't agree to dropout of the presidency, which would strengthen
and bolster to your point, KamalaHarris is candidacy. I don't see him
going halfway on that issue, Like, I'm not giving up the presidency,
but I won't run. I don't. I think that's easy. I think
it's either all or nothing. No, not at all, my friend.
And here's why. And logically hecould make the case for that, right
(06:14):
because it's easy, logically well notaccurate. He could come out and say,
hey, you know it's it's Iam getting older. I've accomplished all
these great things, but nobody defeatsfather time. I want to pass the
torch to a new generation of leadership. But but I am certainly I'm one
of the best presidents in American history, and I still am, and I'm
(06:35):
going to see this term through.That's easy to do, right, because
that's just a very easy thing forhim. It's easy for him. But
hold on, how can you justifyas a Democrat party that he's not fit
to run as the candidate, butwe can go ahead and leave him in
office as the president older? Well, how can you leave him in office
as president? That's essential. Thirdto the country that you say that he
(06:57):
is from their point of view,right, because they love easily because all
they say is that, hey,he's getting older, and so he won't
be able to successfully serve out afull four year term. So in fairness
to the voters, he's passing thetorch to a new generation of leadership.
They'll never admit. He will neveradmit. He will never admit that he's
(07:18):
mentally incapable of serving as president rightnow. So I think that that would
be, while untrue, it wouldbe a coherent explanation. But Ryan,
I don't see any scenario short ofshort of the Democrats ready to publicly reveal
(07:38):
stuff that could put him in jail. I don't see any scenario where he
gives up the presidency. But thething is, I mean, they'll give
up a second term, but notresigned prior to the end of his first
term. The cat's already out ofthe bag with the American public, though,
Dan they lied to us for yearssaying he was coherent. Then the
American people saw the debate and theyknow that he's not, so they they
(07:59):
can't keep up this kabooki theater.They can't well. But then you run
into the twenty fifth Amendment, becausethere are a lot of very strong arguments
based in history that the twenty fifthAmendment is limited to those situations where,
for example, let's say, Godforbid, a president gets shot and that
president's in a coma, and thatpresident may never come out of the coma,
that the twenty fifth Amendment is limitedto those situations, versus a debate
(08:24):
over whether the president has lost somuch of his cognitive ability that he can
no longer function well enough. Andthat's why, as you know, the
twenty fifth Amendment makes it really hardto get rid of somebody because you got
to get half the cabinet, yougot to get the VP, but then
then you got to get two thirdsof the House and Senate. So all
I'm saying is the twenty fifth Amendmentis out here as things stand today,
(08:48):
even though he obviously is not capableof serving, and so will he resign
the presidency before the end of hisfirst term? I think highly, highly
unlikely unless they have something on himso explosive, so damaging that he has
no choice. But dan, isn'tthere a large cross section the American public,
(09:09):
the voters, the people that aresick of being lied to, and
that he's sitting there in office serveout the rest of this term, and
this Democratic Party insults our intelligence saying, wait, we're going to replace him.
He can't run for office anymore,but he's going to serve out these
rest of the months, and theremight be a war situation, he might
get a nuclear call at eleven pm. People are going to buy this crab,
right, But you think Joe Bidencares about the people? Do the
(09:31):
Democrats about anything? Does the DemocraticParty care about winning? Right? But
just can the Democratic Party get twothirds in the House and Senate to write,
can they get Kamala Harris half thecabinet in two thirds of the Houses
and Senate to throw him out?On the twenty fifth? Lee stays in,
how can you talk him into droppingout? Then? Oh, he's
out he's in. Can you talkhim into that we got to hit this
break. I'll explain with Quebec.But it is done. It is one
(09:52):
hundred and ten percent done. Heis not going to be the nominee.
I wish I could say otherwise,love for him to remain the nominee.
He's not going to be, sonow the only question is who is it
going to be and when and whatdo we need to do to beat that
person? Eight five five four zerofive eight two five five text d an
(10:13):
five seven seven three nine and nowback to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
As a citizen, as a husband, and as a father, I am
alarmed that the current president of theUnited States lacks the capability to discharge the
duties of his office. Our enemiesdo not confine their designs to between ten
(10:37):
am and four pm. We needwe need a commander in chief who can
lead twenty four hours a day andseven days a week. America cannot afford
four more years of a weekend atBernie's presidency. Only one of the lines
(11:00):
of the night. We've been sayingit for what two years here on the
show, But good job by RonDeSantis overall last night eight five to five
for zero five eight two five fivethe number, of course, if you've
been up on the news today,the end approaching very rapidly for Joe Biden's
tenure as the presumptive nominee. Theonly real remaining question is whether he will
remain in the presidency through the endof his term. I don't base that
(11:26):
on the fact we're now being toldhe has COVID experiencing mild symptoms. This
is all separate apart from that,and we talked about in the first segment.
Will continue to let me get tosome quick text, Dan, he
doesn't have the poker face. Whoare they referring to there, Ryan,
Dan. It pains me to agreewith you and disagree with Ryan, but
(11:46):
I have to. Biden resigns thepresidency, Kamala becomes forty seven, Trump
becomes forty eight. They get tokeep all their donation money, and the
Democrats can now say they had thefirst female president. I am not predicting
that Biden will resign the presidency.I think that it's sixty forty against right
now. I think that scenario thatthe Texter paints is probably the best possible
outcome at the moment, But Idon't think they're gonna get it. I
(12:09):
just don't think there's a path toit. I think it's kind of what
you're saying, but I don't knowhow they talk him halfway. You're not
gonna run, but you're gonna stayin office. We're gonna have that compromise
verdict here. He's either all inor he's all out. And I think
he's all in. Yeah, let'shope you're right, but you're wrong.
Not personal. He's done as nomineeand he'll stay in the Presidency's saying I'm
(12:30):
just aging, you know, andI won't be able to serve a second
for your term. Dan, Ishe coherent enough to play this game that
a doctor would tell him? Referringto the news of the day Biden coming
out and opening the door to leavinghis nominee if a doctor told him he
had quote unquote a condition, Now, does that mean COVID? Does that
(12:50):
mean something else? But that samerationale could also justify resigning early from the
presidency. That though I don't expectthat, but there's only one and Biden
threw that out there because until nowhe's been saying no, he is going
to be the nominee unless they showhim he can't possibly win. And now
he's opened this other exit ramp,and that's the one he's going to take,
(13:13):
probably very very very soon. Dan, is it true that Biden had
a medical emergency a week ago onAir Force One? In my view,
every day is a medical emergency forJoe Biden. Let's go to the phone
lines, and I want to getto some of these speeches last night.
There were so many great speeches,and Ryan's worked so hard to pull a
lot of tremendous sound. And evenif you heard this stuff last night,
(13:35):
I think you want to hear itagain. And let me play one bite
real quick, just because I thoughtit was one of the funniest moments of
the night if you were watching liveas I was. When Nicki Haley took
the stage before she said this,she did something that had everybody on edge.
I'll start by making one thing perfectlyclear. Donald Trump has my strong
(14:03):
endorsement. Perry, very very importantthing for her to say, obviously,
But she started by saying President Trumpasked me to speak in the interest of
unity. And Trump turns to jd Vance and nobody had to be a
lip reader. But it's been confirmedtoday through lip readers jd Vance and said
(14:26):
she asked to speak here we go, and so at that point I think
Trump expected it to really get wild. But to the phone lines, Eerie
might kind enough to join us onthe Dan Kapla show. Eerie a very
welcome critic of me, and I'msure many other things. How you doing,
Erie, Hey, doing just fine? Didn't her wonderful? So hey,
(14:50):
uh, I you know you've beenpredicting for quite a long time that
Biden is not going to be thecandidate. I agreed with you, and
I wonderful. You did a greatjob of setting that up. And I
think you're dead on, especially withthis way, this revelation about I think
it's yeah, I'm getting there.I think it's really clear that that he
(15:11):
does in a medical condition. He'scognitively inept at times and then cognitively sharp
at times. So I think he'sgot a condition, no question. But
I just think, you know,but I think this is the death nail
for Trump because frankly, but allthey're going to, all the Democrats are
gonna have to do is play thejd Vance quotes of what he said before
(15:33):
he became a a mega guy,and that's going to bury Trump. I
mean, it's gonna be so embarrassing. He explain the logic to me,
Mike, because I don't think anybody'sgoing to care about that except people who
already are voting against Trump. Soexplain that one to me. So I
think of anybody that might be onthe on the sideline, it hasn't really
(15:54):
been keeping up with this. Theysay, Okay, so jd pick jd
Vance And what did jd Vance sayabout Trump? You know before four years
ago, three years ago, whatever, that if you voted for Trump,
you were an idiot, That Trumpis likely Americus Hitler, you know,
other quotes like that. I thinkthat might sway people that are sort of
in the middle ago with jeez,why would he be jumping on Trump's bandwagon
(16:17):
at this point? Well, butI don't follow your logic, Mike,
because people are going to believe theirown eyes. They're going to believe what
they see of Trump, and they'regoing to make the decision based on that,
not on what some guy they've barelyever heard of thought of Trump four
years ago. And you know jadVance's explanation, which is, hey,
and then I was proven wrong thenI saw his presidency. But no,
(16:37):
I think there is As I've predictedfor a long time, Mike, I
think that it's about to get muchrougher for Trump because Biden will not be
the nominee, and anybody else theycan put up there is going to be
tougher to beat than Biden. Now, I think Trump will still win.
I think if Michelle Obama becomes thenominee, then we're an uncharted territory.
(17:00):
All bets are off, and it'sjust going to be a total brawl till
probably a week after election day.I might appreciate the call, thank you,
my friend. We could hear theold turn signal there. That's always
a hint to a move on.But no, listen to the Michelle Obama
thing. I'm not going to beatit into the ground. It is what
(17:21):
it is. I've been saying itfor over two years on the show,
and it was true then and it'strue now. If she wants the nomination,
it is hers, and she wouldbe by multiples the hardest Democrat to
be And that's just the reality.And we'll just find out if she wants
it now. Now. One ofthe political impacts of the horror on Saturday
(17:44):
and Donald Trump's courageous, high characterresponse. Is it makes it less likely
Michelle Obama will enter the race becauseit makes it harder for her to beat
Trump. Said all along, theone thing that would keep her out of
the race is fear of losing toDonald Trump. It is now much more
(18:07):
difficult to beat Trump after his heroismon Saturday and his great leadership and physical
courage and character display on Saturday.So maybe that keeps her out of the
race. I think another thing isthere's not a consensus built around her.
She is not like the layup.Not everybody's gonna call less around her.
There's gonna be massive chaos at theconvention. There'll be fighting on the floor.
(18:29):
Whitmer'll want it, Newsimal want it, Harris is gonna want it.
They're not gonna bowl down to MichelleObama. Dan, I'm walking behind that
glass during this break, and I'mgonna find out what you guys are ingesting.
I truly am, because when wecome back and we'll get to our
fiery lines, great text and amazingsound from less Night, but I want
to hear from you who give mea name, who is going to stand
up and oppose Michelle Obama if shewants the nomination. The answer not a
(18:55):
you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Showpodcast. That that roof have been secure
period. That building in particular hasa slope roof at its highest point,
and so you know there's a safetyfactor that would be considered there that we
wouldn't want to put somebody up ona slope roof, and so you know
the decision was made to secure thebuilding from inside. Wow, And everybody
(19:17):
knows that's a big lie. Andso our starting point now is a big
lie. And it's what I've beendoing for forty years in courtrooms and what
you've been doing your entire life.And that is when somebody lies, and
they lie like that, they're lyingfor a reason. And when I say
(19:41):
that to a jury, people liefor a reason, almost every head nods
because and the people aren't nodding theirhead openly are green because it's undeniable.
People lie for a reason. Andthe bigger the lie normally, the bigger
the reason. And when you're directorof the US Secret Service and the soon
to be president was almost assassinated onyour watch and you openly lie about it,
(20:06):
and you know that everybody listening knowsyour lyne. That's a very important
starting point. Why is she lying? Would she tell a lie like that
just to cover incompetence, just tocover Hey, I'm sorry, we had
a plan, there was human error. The guy who was supposed to be
there didn't show up. Would shetell a lie like that that she has
(20:27):
to know that the administration has toknow, because do you think she's winging
this? That the administration has toknow is going to be ridiculed around the
world within minutes by everybody over theage of two. I mean, how
many pictures have we seen on theinternet now of cows on slanted roofs all
right all over the world. Soor some of the counter team snipers that
(20:49):
were on a slanted roof themselves atthat scene, real quick, Dan,
Yeah, this is just in fromColin rug On X. Secret Service was
aware of the potential threat ten minutesbefore Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania,
but let him go out anyway.The revelation was made during a Senate
briefing today. Senate Marshall Blackburn saysshe was quote appalled to learn the Secret
Service and knew about a threat priorto President Trump walking on stage. I
(21:12):
have no confidence in the leadership ofDirector Cheetle and believe it is in the
best interest of our nation if shesteps down from her position. And as
we go to our gam lines,the enormous question for you, why is
she telling this obvious, enormous lie. What's really going on here? Let's
go to our gem lines. We'llstart in Texas with Dean. You're on
(21:33):
the Dan Caplis Show. Welcome,Hey, Dean. We'll try to get
Dean back. He might be havinga personal moment aka at bathroom break.
We'll go down to beautiful Peblo.Talk to Jeff. You're on the Dan
Caplis Show. Welcome Jeff for youWhy yeah, so Dan, I agree
(21:56):
with you ninety nine percent of thetime. And I would have agreed with
Michelle Obama as being able to walkin and take it up until a couple
of weeks ago, when now theDemocrats are in full mailtdown. Barack has
not had the ability to convince Joeto step down, and it's almost like
(22:17):
they're at each other's throat. SoI think that I don't think I think
that there's too much fighting amongst them. I who would stand up to her
answer the question? My friend Ryanis ducked. Who will stand up to
her if she says I want itthe Biden's Well, at this point,
Biden has stepped aside. Knewsom wouldstand up. Think that a lot of
(22:41):
them will stand in multiple small packsagainst it, because they're going to say,
you let us all fight amongst ourselveswhen you knew this problem, Brock,
what Joe's decline and you let usall look like idiots. We can't
trust you to throw us under thebus, Jeff, So, I hope
you're right, my friend. Ihope you are right. Dean is back
(23:03):
down in the Great State of Texas. You're on the Dan KAPLI show.
Welcome, hey man, thank you. I think the problem with Michelle Obama
is she doesn't have Like Ryan said, she's not in the game right now.
I mean, she doesn't even spoke, and I think everybody's thinking of
the third term of Obama already.So I think she's just a terrible candidate.
(23:26):
And then number two, I thinkthere's multiple collapses in the security for
Trump between the local cops and thetwo percent. Great in that room.
What a joke? Yeah, Amento that Dean appreciate the call. Just
starting first with Michelle Obama again,we've now heard the theory that Devin Newsom
(23:47):
would stand up to her. Nota chance, not a chance. Who
among these other Democrats who's looking ata political future would dare alienate Michelle Obama's
following, which is vastest and she'dbe a horrific president on policy, there's
no question. But which Democrat isgoing to throw away their political career by
alienating her constituency? Are you operatingin a world where Kamala Harris doesn't exist?
(24:11):
Because how in the actual hell areyou going to just tell her,
hey, no, it's her turn. She thinks that she's the vice president.
She put in the time she servedin the office, she carried Joe
around. How are you going tojust convince her to step aside Ryan at
the risk of spoiling the outcome foreverybody. And one of the things I
admire about you so much, andthere are so many, is that you're
(24:33):
color blind. But Michelle Obama isblack also, and so the difficulty that
we've heard so many on the leftarticulating, wait a second, the party
can't set aside a black woman inline for the presidency in favor of a
Gavin Newsom or a fill in theblank. That problem goes away the second
(24:57):
Michelle Obama says I want to bethe nominee. Dan, that is a
very overt obler oversimplification. And Iwill go back to the one time I've
ever agreed with Sonny Houston, shesaid, as a black woman herself,
Dan, they're not interchangeable. That'skind of a condescending the meaning thing to
say, like, well, blackwoman equals black. I was talking about
(25:18):
the the identity politics issue that youand many many others of race. How
can they possibly justify a leapfrogging ablack female vice president. And my answer
is Michelle Obama is also black.Michelle Obama was first Lady. But if
Michelle Obama wants it, they willget Kamala Harris out of the way.
(25:41):
Before Michelle Obama publicly says she wantsthe implication, Dan from you just saying
that, I know you're saying it'scoming from the left, but that they're
interchangeable. And when Sonny saying that, Sonny Houston said they're not, and
that Kamala it's not what black womanequals. Black woman you could, but
Oprah could go on, you know, what do you mean by interchangeable that
just because it's black woman X,that you can plug black women as for
(26:03):
black women? Why and you can'tdo that. I'm not sulted. I'm
not suggesting that at all. WhatI've done for years is talking very concrete
terms about all of the political assetsMichelle Obama brings to the table. I
have never once suggested that, oh, okay, they can take any black
woman and as long as it's ablack woman, they can knock Kamala Harris
(26:26):
out of the race. No,I haven't talked about any other black woman
in Democrat politics. I'm talking abouta former First Lady who fills arenas all
over this country. I had topay more from my wife's ticket to Michelle
Obama at Pepsi Center than I hadto pay for the Stones. Oh,
and so I'm talking about I'm talkingabout a particular woman of color who polls
(26:48):
eleven points better against Trump than anyother Democrat, including Kamala Harris. So
the point isn't any black women they'reinterchangeable. No, the point is Michelle
Obama, who also happens to bea black woman. He in what universe
And I've got to get back tothese gym lines. But in what universe
does Kamala Harris stand up to that? She is the vice president, She's
(27:12):
got a stake in this race.What I'm saying is she will fight.
She's not going to just back downbecause the Obamas come down from on high
and their ivory tower. I mean, you over asked Obama's. The Obamas
have polled in, but they're notthe whole kitten kaboodle. The Democratic Party
is fractured, they're divided. Therewill be a fight in the convention in
(27:32):
August. And Kamala Harris isn't goinganywhere. Where's the fracture? Barack Obama
came out and said Biden should go, and George Clooney was his mouthpiece for
that. Biden is about to go. Where's the fracture? Where is that
constituency for Biden? Right now?You need two sides to have a fracture.
(27:52):
If everything's on one side, thenwhat you have is a coastline.
But let's do this. If wemay, everybody on the gem lines,
you have our solemn pledge. Wecome back in a few minutes. We
go straight to our phone lines.Text exploding as well, so much good
sound from last night. Why whydid the Secret Service director tell this big
lie that they couldn't put anybody onthe roof because it was too slanted.
(28:17):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show
podcast. Look at the map rightnow that gets Donald Trump to three hundred
and three, and there's new pollingtoday that shows the president's approval rating in
these battleground states is below forty.The president's ballot number right now is below
forty in most of those states,and at forty two in Nevada. It's
very hard in sixteen weeks we countthe vote sixteen weeks from tonight to turn
(28:41):
that around. Plus Democrats are nowworried. They think, I'm not saying
this is going to happen, Butwhat they're saying is the President's going to
have to spend more time and moreresources on places like Virginia because it's competitive,
on places like New Hampshire because it'scompetitive. You look at this map
as it plays out, and thereare Democrats making the case, and we
have Wisconsin blue here, let's moveWisconsin over here. There are Democrats making
(29:03):
the case that Donald Trump is ona viable path as of today to get
to three hundred and thirty electoral votes. Well, you gotta love it,
right, love hearing that. Now, that's one of the reasons that Joe
Biden will very very very very soonno longer be the Democrat nominee. So
we're looking ahead today and we're talkingabout those next steps and what that's likely
(29:26):
to look like. Hey, aswe go back to the jam lines,
quick note, the DNC has nowbeen pressured by Schumer and Jeffrey significantly to
push back the virtual nomination of JoeBiden, which was scheduled for next week.
So so Biden had pressured the DNCto actually formally make him the nominee
next week to try to quell thisrebellion. That doesn't worked. They're pushing
(29:51):
it back a week, but they'llpush it back as long as they have
to to make sure Biden is notthe nominee. I think the end now
very very very near. In Denver, you're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Welcome, by the way, Lynn, Before we get going proving my point
in part, listen to this statementthat just came out from the Trump campaign
regarding Vice presidential debates because Kamala Harrisis asked to schedule the vice presidential debate.
(30:15):
Quote, we don't know who theDemocrat nominee for vice president is going
to be, so we can't lockin a date before their convention. To
do so would be unfair to GavinNewsome, JB. Pritzker, Gretchen Wetmer,
or whoever Kamala Harris picks as herrunning mate. That the official statement
of the Trump campaign go Aheadling,Well, first, I'm relieved that Trump's
(30:40):
okay. I'm glad that Jadie Vanceis the nominee as the VP. Right
as of right now, Biden isstill the candidate. And I think that
waving a magic wand and wishing.I don't know where Michelle Obama comes from,
because let me just get this out. The money has to go to
(31:00):
Kamala And I don't believe for oneminute, and I do. I am
still with Ryan on this, andif I'm wrong, I'll stay I wrong
later. It has to be her. They cannot bypass her. And what
indication do you get from? Wheredo you get any indication that it can
be Michelle? Well, first ofall, that it can be Michelle.
(31:22):
Do you mean that whether she wouldget it if she wanted it, well,
what she's not even in this stratosphereof this only when you say I
think it could be Michelle, ButLynn, I don't want it to be
Michelle. Here or here are theindicators though, okay, and pick them
in any order you want. FullArena's across the United States, at high
(31:42):
ticket prices, best selling books,former First Lady, and all the polling
right now where they run Democrats hadto head against Donald Trump, she fares
eleven points better, well, tenpoints better than any other Democrat, you
know, a Barack Obama unlimited money. Lynn, thanks for your call,
we have jam lines. I hopeyou call again soon. But on Lynn's
(32:04):
very reasonable point about money, twohundred and fifty million, and that's right,
I mean, the nomination would wouldhave to be official, and then
at that point Kamala Harris as VP, if Biden drops out as the as
the nominee for president, she wouldget that money. All I'm telling you
is two hundred and fifty million iscouch cushion change. To them, two
hundred and fifty million is not afactor for the Left. They can generate
(32:28):
two hundred and fifty million dollar incrementsanytime they want to, as long as
they're sufficiently motivated. Jason and Lakewood, you're on the Dan Kapla show.
Hey, Dan, I've got abit of a problem with the excuse about
the ganger of being on the roof, because ase I look at those pictures,
sure looks like there's a whole lotof pitch and that the roof that
(32:51):
the counter sniper team on is amedal oh yes, as opposed as a
flat rubber member and then spending afair amount of time on the roof proofs
around down And so why the lie? Why the life? I have no
idea, but that's the big question, right, why the lie? Everybody
knows it's a lie. She kneweverybody would know it was a lie when
she told it. This was notoff the cuff. You know, she
(33:14):
got this from the powers in theadministration, mayorcis whomever who told her how
to answer this question. They knewwas coming. Why the lie? Well,
and I think thank you for yourcall, Jason. I think the
lie because they can't admit the truth. So what is the truth of why
nobody was guarding that roof? Whatis the truth as to why they allowed
(33:37):
Trump to take the stage when theyknew there was this active assassination threat.
They knew they had somebody on theroof. They knew, well, let
me be more precise, they knewten minutes before he took the stage,
according to today's reporting, that therewas an active threat out there against Trump,
not only from Iran, but theyknew they had this suspicious actor on
(33:58):
the premises. But why tell thislie? What is the truth she's trying
to cover up by telling this obviouslie? Mike and Longmont, Welcome to
the show. Yeah, now Ican tell you why the lie happened.
The lie happened because they have acorrupt DOJ and they wanted to let somebody
in because they can't get rid ofthem through their corrupt DOJ. So they
(34:20):
figured the only way to take himout is what they attempted to do.
Let somebody get on the roof,pretend that it was an accident, that
he got through, and then problemsolved. Yeh See, Mike, I
personally and my mind is always opento follow facts. Personally, I don't
believe that this administration was in cohootswith the shooter to get Trump killed.
(34:42):
I don't believe that for a second. I got very very powerful case is
being made by many out there,including some prominent folks at the Federalist,
that there was a conscious deliberate decisionto shortchange Trump's security and leave him more
vulnerable. Now, there's a bigdifference between that and then becoming involved with
(35:05):
some actor who's going to harm Trump. I don't believe for a second the
administration was involved with the shooter.Is there a very real possibility they made
conscious, deliberate decisions that they knewwould leave Trump more vulnerable at a time
they knew he was under active threatof assassination from Iran. That I think
is a very real possibility. Let'skeep following the facts, so much to
(35:28):
talk about many more reasons to believetoday that Joe Biden will soon withdraws the
nominee. Who's the candidate going tobe
