President Biden's political future hangs in the balance, as he prepares for a 'make or break' press conference following Thursday's NATO summit. But things get off to a rough start when he erroneously introduces Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dan analyzes the fallout of yet another monstrous gaffe, and whether Joe's performance at his so-called 'big boy press conference' can save his candidacy as the Democrat nominee in 2024.

This is Dan Capless 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.The end is much closer than it was
fifteen minutes ago, and now it'sjust a question does Biden make it as
(00:25):
the presumptive nominee. Does he makeit through tomorrow? Do they time this
now to try to disrupt and distractfrom the GOP convention next week? But
the end is so very close.And if you haven't heard the news,
and I don't think it made itinto ABC News at the top just moments
ago, Joe Biden, who hasbeen a gaff machine his entire life,
(00:48):
but obviously now is very sadly andsteep and rapid decline. Joe Biden referred
to Zelensky after this big build up, all these great things about Zelensky.
He introduced him as Putin, andnow I want to hand it over to
the President of Ukraine who has asmuch courage as he has determination, ladies,
(01:11):
and John, I'm a president Putin. President prudent, You've got big
President, President Lensky, I'm sofocused on being putin we got to worry
about it anyway. Yeah, No, We've We've got a lot to worry
about, right And and so wegot two things going on right. As
we've talked about for a long timeon this show. You, your children,
(01:34):
your your entire family, your neighborhood, your church, all of us
are in so much more danger asAmericans right now, all of the good
people of the world are in somuch more danger because we do not have
a president. And evil sees that. And you see how evil has been
feasting on that for a long timenow. And and now obviously this arouses
(01:57):
evil. Evil is even more butevil knows it's on the clock. Evil
knows it's on the clock. They'recounting the days to inauguration day. So
it's a very very dangerous time forAmerica in the free world because we do
not have a president. So thefact that Biden will soon no longer be
the dem nominee is I've been tellingyou for a year and a half,
(02:19):
but does not fix the problem thathe is likely to continue as the US
president. So we start the showwith that. Obviously, we have this
what the White House is bizarrely labeledbig Boy press conference coming up, and
we'll carry it live here on theDan Kapli Show. Now, the reason
they've labeled it big boy in quotespress conference, in my view, is
(02:39):
because it will be the opposite ofthat, right, and so they want
to call it that and message itas that and get everybody thinking it was
that, But it really won't bethat. Biden could not survive a true
big boy press conference, So whateverwe're going to get today is not going
to be that. But whatever itis, we will listen to it together.
(03:00):
But clearly, at this point it'swhat I've been predicting all along.
But it's now down to what hoursdays. Maybe he hangs on long enough
to disrupt the GOP convention next week, but then kind of the fun twist
today. The fun twist today isthat the Biden camp has put out their
(03:21):
talking points on this, and we'vegot so many great variations of this.
Why don't we go to Mika onthis first? Who has been she and
Joe the worst of the Biden liarsand apologists. So now it is,
and this is probably true what theBiden camp is putting out that Obama is
behind all of this. Obama isbehind the green lighting of the takedown of
(03:45):
Biden, is behind Clooney's op ed, etc. I don't doubt that's true
for a second. I think it'sfascinating. I think it's wonderful in terms
of exposing the left, everybody onthe left, including Obama, for who
they really are. But here's meon that this doesn't George Clooney. But
but well, what do you meanit wasn't? Come on, well,
(04:06):
who do you think it was?It was not Matt Damon, it wasn't
Julia Roberts. Do you think itwas? You can say the name,
It's not Baltimore. Are you sayingyou think Barack Obama put him up to
this? I think that Barack Obamahas a lot of influence, and I
think that there's uh, there's alot there. No, the Biden camp
(04:31):
right now is put it out there, this is Barack Obama behind all this.
But think about that, Think aboutwhat that does to the Democratic Party.
Think about what that means. Now, does that make it more likely
that Michelle Obama is going to bethe nominee, which she will be if
she wants to be, or doesit make it less likely that Barack Obama
has has suddenly green lighted all ofthis, which explains a lot, right.
(04:56):
It explains his press, which hasbeen an active part of the cover
the worst political cover up in Americanpolitical history, that the press has been
a very active partner in all ofthat. But all of a sudden,
magically the night of the debate,everybody's getting text and everything else during the
debate, and all of a suddenthey do this one eighty Well, it
could be explained by, Okay,the press real has his wait a second,
(05:17):
we've been busted, We've been foundout. Now we have to try
to cover ourselves. Could just bethat. On the other end, it
could be Obama and his network duringthe debate seeing that as their opportunity to
unleash and just greenlight the press togo after Biden. And that is exactly
what is happening right now. Sois time very very short And the way
(05:38):
it's coming down, Hey, it'sit's great for Trump, who I desperately
want to see get a second term. Now, it's great for Trump and
it's great for Republicans, but it'salso bad because it means that Biden is
not going to last that much longer. Every day we can get a Biden
hanging on is helpful to Trump,helpful, helpful to the GOP. But
(06:00):
it's not going to last much longer. You say every day, Dan,
it could be by the hour now, and it could be by the minute
because in real time right now,Dan, this was just posted on predicted.
So there's these foreign betting markets asto who will be the nominee.
After the comment just now by PresidentBiden mistaking Zelenski for putin, Kamala harris
Is stock shot up fifteen percentage points, Joe Biden's dropped by ten to thirty
(06:24):
three percent, Kamala Harris now atfifty three percent to be the nominate Way,
can I legally bet on this stuff? Because if I could, I'd
be a trillion there? Right?Maybe? Yeah, I'm come up.
Who has been more right about moreof this stuff for longer? But let
me walk you down that path realquick. Of is it going to be
Kamala Harris? And might there besome kind of a liance built between the
Obamas and Kamala Harris? What's theyyou? Well, it goes back to
(06:46):
what I've been saying, It's goingto be whoever Barack Obama wants it to
be. I mean, do youthink he might want it to be kamalahsas?
Sure? Sure, listen, itvery well could be because one of
the scenarios out there, one ofthe scenarios out there, an awful lot
of Democrats who have an interest inTrump winning in this cycle because then it
is open. The office is openin twenty eight. Everybody knows it's open
(07:11):
in twenty eight. And there arean awful lot of Democrats who think their
best chance is going to be inan open cycle in twenty eight, where
the campaign starts now for twenty eightright now. Where Obama fits into that,
or where whoever it is Obama wantsto be president fits into that.
I can't know from the outside becauseI don't know whether he wants Michelle as
president or not. I don't knowwhether Michelle wants to be president or not.
(07:33):
If she does, she's going tobe the nominee, whether Barack wants
it or not. But there arean awful lot of Democrats who because think
about it from their standpoint, andI understand there's all this bizarre, irrational,
venomous hatred for Trump right that interfereswith their thinking and helps sink them.
I get all that. At thesame time, you've got a lot
(07:55):
of Democrats who care much more abouttheir own advancement than they care about hating
Trump. And for those Democrats,yeah, having a Democrat win in twenty
four would be bad for them becausethey don't get to run then until thirty
two. So and this other pointthat if Trump wins in this cycle,
(08:20):
as we need him to, thenit's likely to be a much better midterm
in twenty six for the Dems becausethey will not hold power at that point.
So I think there are an awfullot of Dems calculating at this point
in different ways. Yes, Ithink there's a lot of cynicism to Dan,
real quick point about what you justsaid. Behind closed doors, We've
(08:41):
got a lot of leaks now,right, and prominent members of the mainstream
media on the left getting word fromsitting members of Congress that are off the
record saying, no, I don'tbelieve the whole Trump is an existential threat
to democracy stuff. If he wins, it's not that big a deal.
They're saying that, Dan, Idon't think they're that concerned about it,
right, And we'll break that downa bit more when you Quebec, I've
got to hit this brake on time, because we plan to go to Biden's
(09:05):
quote big Boy press conference live assoon as it starts, and when we
come back, we'll replay the soundof the day, which which will hasten
Biden's departure even further. Biden callingZelenski putin just happened moments ago. You're
on the Dan Capla Show, andnow back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
I'm going to try not to takethis personally. I just had a
(09:30):
bad Nimes. There's a longer versionthat's kind of fine. I'll play that
again. I'm going to try notto take this personally. Ma I just
had a bad Nimes. You're talkingto me like I'm Joe Biden. Now
move the cursor, see that littlesee a little triangle. I didn't do
(09:50):
that on the ear. So listen. If you just joined us, you
don't know whether to laugh or cry, right because obviously the left is awful.
They lie, they're undermining America.They need to be exposed, and
they're being exposed right now. Andthat's all a beautiful thing. At the
same time, you see the greatsadness. Joe Biden is human, and
(10:11):
Joe Biden has been an obvious,deep steep cognitive decline. We've talked about
that, and Joe Biden has beenused and abused by people, and has
used and abused America. And they'veall been pulling a big con on America
that we've seen through, but alot of Americans haven't. And now Joe
Biden is just out there being humiliatedon a daily basis, and that is
(10:33):
a very sad human spectacle. It'sreached the point of human sacrifice. As
one person said, what we're watchingnow, he's scheduled to do a quote
big boy press conference, which assuresyou it will not be a big boy
press conference. We'll carry it live. But this is the news of the
day. Happened just before the showstarted, Biden referring to Zelenski as Putin,
(10:58):
and now I want to hand itover to the President of Ukraine,
who has as much courage as hehas determination. Ladies, John'm President Putin.
Yeah. Now it's just a matterof minutes, maybe a matter of
hours, maybe a few days.Maybe they try to hold on with him
until the start of the GOP convention, so they can distract from that,
(11:20):
but it will not be long down. What if it was like pro wrestling,
Dan and in a plot twist,Vladimir Putin walked out from behind the
curtain. Yeah, you know rightnow, you wouldn't be surprised by anything.
You would not be surprised by anything. So obviously it raises a lot
of questions if you just joined us. We're also talking about many of the
Biden defenders now in media saying it'sBarack Obama behind this, Barack Obama behind
(11:45):
the Clooney ap ed in the NewYork Times calling for Biden to exit.
So in your mind, does itmake it more or less likely that Michelle
is going to be the nominee?Now, I do want to get to
this, and you can go toat Dan Kaplis on Twitter because this song
is so appropriate right now. It'sthe first song I've written and published a
parody song. I'm hang on Sloopy, hang on Joey. The point being,
(12:07):
obviously, every day that that theBiden family selfishly clings to power is
great for Trump and great for allGOP candidates. Unfortunately, it isn't going
to last long. But let's let'shope Joey hangs on for at least a
few more days. You can getthe full song it add Dan Caplas on
(12:28):
Twitter, Joey is it a verynice powerful Joey down the joy? I
(13:03):
don't care what your brain don't dobecause I just want all of the Democrat
suits. That's why I say yeah. And there are a bunch of other
(13:24):
fun verses at Dan Caplis on Twitterto get the whole song. I love
our Texters, Dan. Shouldn't theycall it the quote Big Guy press conference
referring to ten percent for the BigGuy? Right? Yeah? Great point.
Yeah. I want you to pondersomething right now though, if you
would, don't close your eyes becauseyou're probably driving, but think about how
significant this is and how beautiful itis and is it even biblical? I
(13:48):
don't know, but but it makesyou wonder. You know what today is?
You know what today was supposed tobe. Today was supposed to be
the day that Donald Trum, aformer American president, was sentenced to jail
for a crime he did not commitin a politically motivated Banana Republic trial and
(14:11):
conviction. In my humble opinion,that's what today was supposed to be.
So think about the flip instead ofthe ultimate in the eyes of the left,
the ultimate disgrace this former president sentencedto jail in a New York courtroom.
What happens. Today's the day JoeBiden's presidency essentially ends, though he'll
(14:35):
remain in office with power and theory, Today's the day his as for all
practical purposes, his campaign for reelectionends. So on a day that was
supposed to be the ultimate depths ofdespair and humiliation for Donald Trump, it's
the ultimate depths of despair and humiliationfor the man who has perverted the justice
(14:58):
system to try to barry an opponenthe can't beat at the polls. Good
to think about eight five or zerofive? A two five five the number
we're waiting for the so called BigBoy press conference to start. The White
House labeled it that way, whichguarantees you it will be the opposite of
(15:18):
that. Really can't wait to getyour take. You know that the fact
it appears to be at this point, I don't think anybody's arguing it that
Obama is behind this. Obama isbehind this green lighting of the truth about
Biden in order to out Biden,in order to oust Biden. What do
(15:39):
you think that means for who theDEM nominee is going to be and how
this thing is going to play out? Eight F five for zero five A
two five five the number text dan five seven seven three nine. Joe
Scarborough chiming in on that. JoeScarborough obviously a big part of the cover
up. But every Dem has beenBennett, Hick and Looper, all of
them. Bennett trying to cleanse himselfby coming out now and saying no,
(16:02):
no, no, Trump's going todestroy Biden, et cetera. But he's
stick. Bennett's just trying to inoculatehimself. They've all been part of the
cover up, the Biden campaign,and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack
Obama is quietly working behind the scenesto orchestrate this. So what's Obama's endgame?
(16:26):
What is Obama's end game? I'dlove to hear from you on this.
A fi five four zero five Atwo five five the number text D
an five seven seven three nine.Is it to put Michelle in there?
I'm not assuming that it is,because she could have it anyway. Yeah,
what's the endgame? First of all, I think Scarborough knows a lot
more than he's letting on in termsof the inner workings of all of this
(16:47):
Dan and he makes the point ina subsequent clip there that the more an
Obama or a David Axelrod or thesekind of establishment types try to tell Joe
what to do, the less likelyJoe is to do it, and the
more obstinate he'll become. So Idon't I think this might backfire in Barack.
Oh, we can only hope,right, because obviously every date Biden
hangs in there is better for Trump. But not a chance. And here's
(17:10):
why. Because this is like andyou've probably you know, we've all seen
the national geographic stuff, et cetera, right where you get, okay,
you've got maybe it's a water buffalo, maybe it's a zebra, and then
you've got the one lion hanging offits back, and then or maybe it's
a hyaena. But pretty soon thereare fifty of them, and Biden is
(17:32):
getting taken down before our eyes.So even if even if hunter Biden decides
that because it's it's Obama trying totake Biden down, No, they're gonna
dig in and they're gonna stay nomatter what who cares. They're gonna take
them down anyway they're gonna take them. They've got a hundred different ways to
take him down. It's like onehundred different hyenas, you know, hanging
(17:55):
off the zebra right now, andthey're taking him down before eye. What
does it mean for what comes next? Well, scheduled to start in a
few minutes is the quote big boypress conference labeled that way by the White
House. We will go to itif it's on as soon as we come
back. You're on the Dan KaplasShow. You're listening to the Dan Kapliss
(18:18):
Show podcast. We're exposes Cross.They haven't even started yet. When people
say how are they going to takeBiden? I mean is the doleg is?
They can't just set him aside?And I've been telling people for a
long time. They got a hundreddifferent ways to take him down. You've
only seen three or four of themnow. And we have predicted this in
advance, the donors, et cetera, et cetera, and Biden is hanging
(18:40):
on by a thread right now,just a thread. But after today introducing
Zelensky as putin at a NATO's summit, Yeah, that that will shorten the
political life expectancy a bit. Andnow I want to hand it over to
the President of Ukraine, who hasas much courage as he has determination.
Ladies, John, I'm not PresidentPutin, President Putin, You've got to
(19:06):
be President Pusen, President Lynsky.I'm so focused on being Putin. We
gotta worry about it anyway, misterpresident. Can you imagine what's going on
in the Kremlin right now? Andthat's understand. Putin is Satan. Putin
is raw evil in a suit.And just imagine that evil sitting around the
(19:29):
Kremlin cackling right now. Can youimagine, just picture it as as the
should be leader of the free world, but in fact, a vacuum non
existent. We don't have a presidentright now, we don't have a commander
in chief. The enemies know thatas he calls the Lynsky Putin. Yeah,
(19:49):
and there's one thing Americans will nottolerate across party lines, and that
is being laughed at. And thinkabout this, and we're awaiting the well,
big boy press conference. You wouldthink if it's such a big boy
press conference, it would start ontime, right right, big boys,
Big boys show up on time.Big boys show up on time, say
bring it on, come on,but no, this big boy press conference
(20:12):
is now eight minutes late. Buttoday, and I know we're going to
hit this break early, so hopefullywe time it to when this press conference
starts. But think about it.Today was supposed to be the day that
that Biden and the Left were tohumiliate Donald Trump to the max by having
him sentenced to jail in a NewYork courtroom, in a perversion of the
(20:36):
justice system, a wrongful conviction thatwas supposed to be today. And do
you think it's a coincidence that todayis the day that Biden's reelection bid ends
for all practical purposes, It doesn'tmatter when the announcement's made, or today
is the day that, for allpractical purposes his presidency ends, so he
will have the mantle of power,he'll be largely irrelevant. He's viewed as
(20:59):
gone at this point. Do youthink that's a coincidence that those two things
both today and of course Trump's sentencingnow off and may never occur. That
conviction may have to be thrown out. It should be thrown out for lots
of reasons, but it may haveto be vacated before there's even a sentencing
based upon the US Supreme Court rulingin the Community case, which was a
correct ruling. All right, let'syou want to break this early. Okay,
(21:25):
we'll break this early. We're goingto time the start of the quote
big boy press conference, not bigenough though that they could start on time.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.And now back to the Dan Kaplas
Show podcast. And now I wantto hand it over to the President of
Ukraine, who has as much courageas he has determination ladies, John,
(21:45):
I'm a president putin. When Isaw that, I was sitting out here
doing show prep about what five orten to four. When I saw it,
I just, you know, justlaughed out loud in the whole news
looking at me. And then thefirst thing I thought was deep fake.
I'm not even sending this to Ryan, it must be a deep fake.
And then Rob came over from Newsand he said, did you see what
(22:07):
Biden just said? And confirmed itwas real. No, that really just
happened. And the quote big boyWhite House label press conference that was supposed
to start sixteen minutes ago, stillhas not started. And we're watching a
monitor in studio and doesn't look likeit's anywhere close to starting. So we
took that last break early so wecould try to time it out for the
(22:30):
beginning. But we'll take it assoon as it begins, we will take
it. Glad you're here. Sothat obviously some of the big news of
the day. The other big newsof the day is that the Biden camp
at this point term media sura getssaying that it's Obama who's behind this effort
to oust Biden, and many saying, well, that'll just cause Biden to
dig in further. No, itwon't, no, because it doesn't matter
(22:52):
what Hunter Biden wants right now.And as I've been explaining for a long
time, you know, Hunter Bidenis calling the shots. Joe Biden has
to do what Hunter Biden wants himto do, because Hunter Biden can walk
into a prosecutor's office in my opinion, he can walk into a TV studio,
he can walk into a book publisher, and he can destroy Joe Biden
and destroy his legacy. And sothat was confirmed, right, my theory
(23:17):
was confirmed when NBC reported that HunterBiden is now working out of the White
House acting as Biden's gatekeeper. Rightthat the best protection for Hunter Biden keeping
his freedom and having a regular flowof big money. Is Joe Biden getting
a second term? So just factorall of that into your analysis. But
with Obama reportedly and he's not denyingit at this point behind the effort house
(23:41):
Biden, he's probably proud of it. You know, what does that mean
for what is to come? Isit more likely now Michelle will be the
nominee? Or what is Obama's otherplay? Eight five to five for Joe
five A two five five the numbertext d A N five seven seven three
nine. We continue to wait forthe art of the big boy press conference.
(24:03):
You know, one thing, Ryan, is I go to text.
That's so interesting to me. Andobviously I'm so grateful for this audience and
whether we agree or disagree on anissue, But there are different intensity levels
for disagreement, right, and theintensity of the dismay and the anger with
me when I say, wait asecond, this race is about to get
(24:26):
a lot tougher for President Trump.This race is going to be much much
tougher in a week or two thanit's been. Is remarkable to me because
I think it's so obvious. Whywould people be mad at me for saying
that It doesn't mean I support Trumpless. I want Trump to win.
And if you want to win,and I know this in forty years of
(24:48):
being a lawyer, you know,for catastrophically injured people you want to win,
you better be clear eyed and youbetter be honest with yourself and everybody
else about the strengths of your opponent'scase. Now, it doesn't mean they're
right and you're wrong, Not atall. We're right, they're wrong,
But if you want to beat them, you better know what their strengths are,
(25:11):
and you better be ready to facereality and defeat them in the real
world. And you know, denialsnot just a river in Egypt, And
we got an awful lot of peopleliving in denial right now thinking that Okay,
Biden's about to leave and then it'sa slam dunk for Trump. No,
it's about to get tougher for Trump. America. America is hungry for
(25:32):
new faces, dam America is hungryfor use. Yeah, we're coming up
on twenty minutes late for this pressconference. And I know they're working to
try behind the scenes to clean upthe Putin gaff, But do you think
there's a non zero chance they justcall this whole thing off tonight, but
there's no press conference could happen.I don't think that's going to happen.
I think Joe Biden is probably moredetermined than ever now to have that press
(25:56):
conference. You know, Listen,we have all said something stupid at some
point. Right There are times Igo home from a show and I say,
I can't believe I said that,and then I can't wait for the
next day's show to start, youknow, so I can get another crack
at it. And that doesn't happenoften, but it happens sometimes. The
problem with Biden is he shot,He's gone, so it happens all the
time. But for this, youcan't even call it a gaff, for
(26:19):
this monumental failure introducing Zelensky as themost evil person in the world. Yeah,
I bet he can't wait to getback out there, even if he
knows at this point that he's donedone, he can't wait to get back
out there, is my belief.Height five five or five A two five
five text d an five seven seventhree nine. We'll get back to some
(26:41):
more of those texts, Denn andRyan Joe Biden to Joe Biden later tonight,
Darling You've got to let me knowshould I stay or should I go?
By the clash that's from Andy andLafayette. You know what that wouldn't
be to Jill. That would bethe Hunter. I mean, Hunter Biden's
the one who can destroy Joe.Can anybody else explain why or offer any
(27:04):
other reason why Hunter Biden is nowoperating out of the White House. Is
Joe Biden's gatekeeper. The only wayhe could get within one hundred miles of
the White House, let alone operateas the president's gatekeeper. Is if he
has something on the president, isif he's in a position to destroy the
president. Is there any conceivable,theoretical, hypothetical flaw in that logic.
(27:29):
I don't think so. I thinkit's a codependent relationship in a lot of
ways. Dan, I mean thatliterally that Hunter obviously is there out of
his own self interest. I dothink he cares about his father, and
I think Joe, in a weirdwarped way, wants Hunter in his orbit.
He wants Hunter there. This isnot against these are not against his
wishes having Hunter in that room.But it begs the question, and Peter
(27:49):
Doucey asked in a press conference whyis Joe Biden in these high level meetings?
Is she advising him? Is shemaking decisions for him? And of
course KJP tried to deflect on that. It does warrant an explanation. Well,
that the Jill sings a lot easierto understand, right, I don't
think it's unusual to have a firstlady who's you know where she and her
(28:10):
husband taught business a lot. Doyou think she has put on policies?
You think Milania Trump was in anyof those high level meetings, of course,
but that's a different scenario about LauraBush, about Obama for that matter.
Yeah, I bet Michelle Obama didnot hesitate to let her views be
known with Barack Obama. You're justtalking about location. Now, you're talking
about whether it's an Marville office ora few feet away in the bedroom.
(28:33):
I think that's important what Kevin McCarthyhas stated in terms of when he would
go in there in Jill's hovering.I don't think Michelle would do that to
Barack because she wouldn't want to upstage. I mean, she wouldn't have You're
one hundred percent right, and weall know why Jill's there. Jill's there
because we don't have a president.He's not functional. All I'm telling you
is, when it comes down tothe bottom line, who makes the decisions?
(28:55):
Hunter Trump's Jill, he thinks,So, oh, absolutely, because
Jill can't destroyed Joe. Hunter candestroy Joe's good point. Yeah, I'd
be right, and I don't doubtJoe Biden loves his son as a parent
loves a child. But he usedhim, in my constitutionally protected opinion,
he used him as a bag mantotally. And yeah, Hunter knows where
the bodies are buried. So eightfive for zero five eight two five five
(29:19):
I mean that metaphor, who doyou I think would be more likely to
get real with Joe and pull himaside and going, you know what,
it's time to go Hunter or Jill, because it's got to be one of
them, and it might have tobe both. Well, you've got to
get real with Hunter. Hunter's callingthe shots. Is there any doubt about
that? Can? Seriously, cananybody suggest any other reason Hunter Biden would
(29:42):
be operating out of the White Housenow as Biden's gatekeeper, according to NBC
News. So let's play that outand say Hunter goes to his dad and
goes, Dad, I think it'stime for you to get out, but
you gotta pardon me. So wouldthere be a resignation press conference followed by
a pardon of Hunter or one orthe other, or how would that go?
No, you're I mean, thethe pardons a done deal. That's
a certainty, right, And he'sgoing to be pardoned as as Ford pardon
(30:04):
Nixon for all crimes against the UnitedStates. So it'll be a general pardon
that's given. That's done. Butthey've got other considerations with the timing.
Now, Biden, I don't believehe's going to resign the presidency. I
think he's simply going to announce thathe's not going to be the nominee.
How can he do that, Dan, How can he say I'm not going
to run, but I'm going tostay in office the rest of the time
(30:25):
with all this concern about his cognitiveclient him. Collin Zelenski putin today another
example, Well, they've been they'vebeen pulling this con the worst cover up
in American political history now for years, So why would they hesitate to continue
to pull it? That man isnot going to resign the president? You
don't think so? No, No, Because Dan, You and I both
know. Let's say this is aforeign fictional theory. But let's say he
(30:48):
agrees he's going to step down andto do the best thing not just for
the country, but for Kamala Harris. Let's say it's her, it's her
presidency, it's her candidacy, toallow her to assume that office, have
the power of incumbency to run on. Would Joe go that far? Serenity?
Now, my brother, Please remember, Biden wants the Democrat nominee to
(31:11):
lose, right, Biden wants theday Can anybody doubt that? Does anybody
think Biden's out there pulling for theDemocrat nominee to win? So Joe Biden's
no longer the only person to stopTrump. Hillary couldn't stop Trump, but
of course Biden wants to be theonly one who could stop Trump. Biden
wants to be sitting there as doHunter and Jill the day after election day,
(31:32):
November sixth, saying Joe would havewon. Yeah. Does anybody really
think Joe Biden right now is thinkingabout or Hunter Biden or Joe Biden?
What can we do to help thesuccessor, to help the nominee win a
chance not a chance lost. Yeah, if he's gonna go down, he's
going to take the rest of themwith him. Right, Well, I
(31:53):
mean all Joe Biden has ever caredabout is Joe Biden, right, I
mean, I'm sure he's cared abouthis children, but all he's cared about
he It's so much more important thanAmerica, let alone his political party,
and he knows much of his Thepowers in his political party despise him,
look down on him, and youthink he likes them. Not a chance,
(32:15):
And those fissures are becoming very obviousfor people. See when Obama was
present, and everybody knows it.What did you say about Joe Biden?
Don't underestimate his ability to blank thingsup? Right? So no, no,
right now, it's kind of burningdown the house. What did you
make of Joe Biden and his teamresponding to George Clooney's op ed by saying
that Joe had more stamina than GeorgeClooney because he stayed longer at the fundraiser.
(32:37):
There's a winning argument right there.Yeah, match popularity with George Clooney
And yeah, no, he asI've been saying forever, he's done.
Now the only question is timing.By the way, if you go to
at Dan Kaplis on Twitter, youcan get access to that full parody song
that I authored to hang On Sloopy, hang On Joey, because we need
(32:59):
Joey to hang out on for asmany hours and days as he can because
every one of those is good forTrump and bad for the Left. Looks
like we might have to hang onthrough the top of the hour. So,
Dan, they're white balancing right now. This is usually something you do
with about five minutes to go.Explain that's not about quotas. No,
you hold up a white card sothe cameras can focus in and balance what
(33:19):
their white level is, and soit doesn't look like it's shot in blue
or too hot or you know,just video type speaking here. But they're
getting all those loose ends tied up. And I would anticipate this would start
after top of the hour, fiveo'clock our time. Interesting text somebody asking
Dan, could Hunter be willing dealingwith Obama? No, that would never
happen with Obama, and it wouldnever happen directly. But my personal belief
(33:43):
is that there will definitely be therewill definitely be a soft landing for Hunter.
And Jill and the Biden family.And you won't be able to read
about it on the Wall Street Journalfinancial pages, you won't see it in
a contract or anything else. Butover the course of the next six months,
year, two years, three years, all of a sudden, wow,
(34:04):
that's a pretty darn good book deal. And wow, chairman of this
institute or that institute movie rights.They're all different sorts of ways to arrange
for a soft landing. And Iwould be stunned if there wasn't a very,
very very soft landing for the Bidenfamily that comes out of What's about
(34:25):
to unfold eight five to five forzero five eight two five five. Hey,
the quote big boy is l butby the White House press conference,
it's about a half an hour late. Now. I think if you're going
to have a real big boy pressconference, you walk in like a big
boy, you walk on on timeand say bring it on, show me
what you got. I can handleanything. So right now it's become a
very little teensy weinsy boy press conference. We'll have it when it starts on
(34:46):
the Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Capless 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.The end is much closer than it was
fifteen minutes ago, and now it'sjust a question does Biden make it as
(00:25):
the presumptive nominee. Does he makeit through tomorrow? Do they time this
now to try to disrupt and distractfrom the GOP convention next week? But
the end is so very close.And if you haven't heard the news,
and I don't think it made itinto ABC News at the top just moments
ago, Joe Biden, who hasbeen a gaff machine his entire life,
(00:48):
but obviously now is very sadly andsteep and rapid decline. Joe Biden referred
to Zelensky after this big build up, all these great things about Zelensky.
He introduced him as Putin, andnow I want to hand it over to
the President of Ukraine who has asmuch courage as he has determination, ladies,
(01:11):
and John, I'm a president Putin. President prudent, You've got big
President, President Lensky, I'm sofocused on being putin we got to worry
about it anyway. Yeah, No, We've We've got a lot to worry
about, right And and so wegot two things going on right. As
we've talked about for a long timeon this show. You, your children,
(01:34):
your your entire family, your neighborhood, your church, all of us
are in so much more danger asAmericans right now, all of the good
people of the world are in somuch more danger because we do not have
a president. And evil sees that. And you see how evil has been
feasting on that for a long timenow. And and now obviously this arouses
(01:57):
evil. Evil is even more butevil knows it's on the clock. Evil
knows it's on the clock. They'recounting the days to inauguration day. So
it's a very very dangerous time forAmerica in the free world because we do
not have a president. So thefact that Biden will soon no longer be
the dem nominee is I've been tellingyou for a year and a half,
(02:19):
but does not fix the problem thathe is likely to continue as the US
president. So we start the showwith that. Obviously, we have this
what the White House is bizarrely labeledbig Boy press conference coming up, and
we'll carry it live here on theDan Kapli Show. Now, the reason
they've labeled it big boy in quotespress conference, in my view, is
(02:39):
because it will be the opposite ofthat, right, and so they want
to call it that and message itas that and get everybody thinking it was
that, But it really won't bethat. Biden could not survive a true
big boy press conference, So whateverwe're going to get today is not going
to be that. But whatever itis, we will listen to it together.
(03:00):
But clearly, at this point it'swhat I've been predicting all along.
But it's now down to what hoursdays. Maybe he hangs on long enough
to disrupt the GOP convention next week, but then kind of the fun twist
today. The fun twist today isthat the Biden camp has put out their
(03:21):
talking points on this, and we'vegot so many great variations of this.
Why don't we go to Mika onthis first? Who has been she and
Joe the worst of the Biden liarsand apologists. So now it is,
and this is probably true what theBiden camp is putting out that Obama is
behind all of this. Obama isbehind the green lighting of the takedown of
(03:45):
Biden, is behind Clooney's op ed, etc. I don't doubt that's true
for a second. I think it'sfascinating. I think it's wonderful in terms
of exposing the left, everybody onthe left, including Obama, for who
they really are. But here's meon that this doesn't George Clooney. But
but well, what do you meanit wasn't? Come on, well,
(04:06):
who do you think it was?It was not Matt Damon, it wasn't
Julia Roberts. Do you think itwas? You can say the name,
It's not Baltimore. Are you sayingyou think Barack Obama put him up to
this? I think that Barack Obamahas a lot of influence, and I
think that there's uh, there's alot there. No, the Biden camp
(04:31):
right now is put it out there, this is Barack Obama behind all this.
But think about that, Think aboutwhat that does to the Democratic Party.
Think about what that means. Now, does that make it more likely
that Michelle Obama is going to bethe nominee, which she will be if
she wants to be, or doesit make it less likely that Barack Obama
has has suddenly green lighted all ofthis, which explains a lot, right.
(04:56):
It explains his press, which hasbeen an active part of the cover
the worst political cover up in Americanpolitical history, that the press has been
a very active partner in all ofthat. But all of a sudden,
magically the night of the debate,everybody's getting text and everything else during the
debate, and all of a suddenthey do this one eighty Well, it
could be explained by, Okay,the press real has his wait a second,
(05:17):
we've been busted, We've been foundout. Now we have to try
to cover ourselves. Could just bethat. On the other end, it
could be Obama and his network duringthe debate seeing that as their opportunity to
unleash and just greenlight the press togo after Biden. And that is exactly
what is happening right now. Sois time very very short And the way
(05:38):
it's coming down, Hey, it'sit's great for Trump, who I desperately
want to see get a second term. Now, it's great for Trump and
it's great for Republicans, but it'salso bad because it means that Biden is
not going to last that much longer. Every day we can get a Biden
hanging on is helpful to Trump,helpful, helpful to the GOP. But
(06:00):
it's not going to last much longer. You say every day, Dan,
it could be by the hour now, and it could be by the minute
because in real time right now,Dan, this was just posted on predicted.
So there's these foreign betting markets asto who will be the nominee.
After the comment just now by PresidentBiden mistaking Zelenski for putin, Kamala harris
Is stock shot up fifteen percentage points, Joe Biden's dropped by ten to thirty
(06:24):
three percent, Kamala Harris now atfifty three percent to be the nominate Way,
can I legally bet on this stuff? Because if I could, I'd
be a trillion there? Right?Maybe? Yeah, I'm come up.
Who has been more right about moreof this stuff for longer? But let
me walk you down that path realquick. Of is it going to be
Kamala Harris? And might there besome kind of a liance built between the
Obamas and Kamala Harris? What's theyyou? Well, it goes back to
(06:46):
what I've been saying, It's goingto be whoever Barack Obama wants it to
be. I mean, do youthink he might want it to be kamalahsas?
Sure? Sure, listen, itvery well could be because one of
the scenarios out there, one ofthe scenarios out there, an awful lot
of Democrats who have an interest inTrump winning in this cycle because then it
is open. The office is openin twenty eight. Everybody knows it's open
(07:11):
in twenty eight. And there arean awful lot of Democrats who think their
best chance is going to be inan open cycle in twenty eight, where
the campaign starts now for twenty eightright now. Where Obama fits into that,
or where whoever it is Obama wantsto be president fits into that.
I can't know from the outside becauseI don't know whether he wants Michelle as
president or not. I don't knowwhether Michelle wants to be president or not.
(07:33):
If she does, she's going tobe the nominee, whether Barack wants
it or not. But there arean awful lot of Democrats who because think
about it from their standpoint, andI understand there's all this bizarre, irrational,
venomous hatred for Trump right that interfereswith their thinking and helps sink them.
I get all that. At thesame time, you've got a lot
(07:55):
of Democrats who care much more abouttheir own advancement than they care about hating
Trump. And for those Democrats,yeah, having a Democrat win in twenty
four would be bad for them becausethey don't get to run then until thirty
two. So and this other pointthat if Trump wins in this cycle,
(08:20):
as we need him to, thenit's likely to be a much better midterm
in twenty six for the Dems becausethey will not hold power at that point.
So I think there are an awfullot of Dems calculating at this point
in different ways. Yes, Ithink there's a lot of cynicism to Dan,
real quick point about what you justsaid. Behind closed doors, We've
(08:41):
got a lot of leaks now,right, and prominent members of the mainstream
media on the left getting word fromsitting members of Congress that are off the
record saying, no, I don'tbelieve the whole Trump is an existential threat
to democracy stuff. If he wins, it's not that big a deal.
They're saying that, Dan, Idon't think they're that concerned about it,
right, And we'll break that downa bit more when you Quebec, I've
got to hit this brake on time, because we plan to go to Biden's
(09:05):
quote big Boy press conference live assoon as it starts, and when we
come back, we'll replay the soundof the day, which which will hasten
Biden's departure even further. Biden callingZelenski putin just happened moments ago. You're
on the Dan Capla Show, andnow back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
I'm going to try not to takethis personally. I just had a
(09:30):
bad Nimes. There's a longer versionthat's kind of fine. I'll play that
again. I'm going to try notto take this personally. Ma I just
had a bad Nimes. You're talkingto me like I'm Joe Biden. Now
move the cursor, see that littlesee a little triangle. I didn't do
(09:50):
that on the ear. So listen. If you just joined us, you
don't know whether to laugh or cry, right because obviously the left is awful.
They lie, they're undermining America.They need to be exposed, and
they're being exposed right now. Andthat's all a beautiful thing. At the
same time, you see the greatsadness. Joe Biden is human, and
(10:11):
Joe Biden has been an obvious,deep steep cognitive decline. We've talked about
that, and Joe Biden has beenused and abused by people, and has
used and abused America. And they'veall been pulling a big con on America
that we've seen through, but alot of Americans haven't. And now Joe
Biden is just out there being humiliatedon a daily basis, and that is
(10:33):
a very sad human spectacle. It'sreached the point of human sacrifice. As
one person said, what we're watchingnow, he's scheduled to do a quote
big boy press conference, which assuresyou it will not be a big boy
press conference. We'll carry it live. But this is the news of the
day. Happened just before the showstarted, Biden referring to Zelenski as Putin,
(10:58):
and now I want to hand itover to the President of Ukraine,
who has as much courage as hehas determination. Ladies, John'm President Putin.
Yeah. Now it's just a matterof minutes, maybe a matter of
hours, maybe a few days.Maybe they try to hold on with him
until the start of the GOP convention, so they can distract from that,
(11:20):
but it will not be long down. What if it was like pro wrestling,
Dan and in a plot twist,Vladimir Putin walked out from behind the
curtain. Yeah, you know rightnow, you wouldn't be surprised by anything.
You would not be surprised by anything. So obviously it raises a lot
of questions if you just joined us. We're also talking about many of the
Biden defenders now in media saying it'sBarack Obama behind this, Barack Obama behind
(11:45):
the Clooney ap ed in the NewYork Times calling for Biden to exit.
So in your mind, does itmake it more or less likely that Michelle
is going to be the nominee?Now, I do want to get to
this, and you can go toat Dan Kaplis on Twitter because this song
is so appropriate right now. It'sthe first song I've written and published a
parody song. I'm hang on Sloopy, hang on Joey. The point being,
(12:07):
obviously, every day that that theBiden family selfishly clings to power is
great for Trump and great for allGOP candidates. Unfortunately, it isn't going
to last long. But let's let'shope Joey hangs on for at least a
few more days. You can getthe full song it add Dan Caplas on
(12:28):
Twitter, Joey is it a verynice powerful Joey down the joy? I
(13:03):
don't care what your brain don't dobecause I just want all of the Democrat
suits. That's why I say yeah. And there are a bunch of other
(13:24):
fun verses at Dan Caplis on Twitterto get the whole song. I love
our Texters, Dan. Shouldn't theycall it the quote Big Guy press conference
referring to ten percent for the BigGuy? Right? Yeah? Great point.
Yeah. I want you to pondersomething right now though, if you
would, don't close your eyes becauseyou're probably driving, but think about how
significant this is and how beautiful itis and is it even biblical? I
(13:48):
don't know, but but it makesyou wonder. You know what today is?
You know what today was supposed tobe. Today was supposed to be
the day that Donald Trum, aformer American president, was sentenced to jail
for a crime he did not commitin a politically motivated Banana Republic trial and
(14:11):
conviction. In my humble opinion,that's what today was supposed to be.
So think about the flip instead ofthe ultimate in the eyes of the left,
the ultimate disgrace this former president sentencedto jail in a New York courtroom.
What happens. Today's the day JoeBiden's presidency essentially ends, though he'll
(14:35):
remain in office with power and theory, Today's the day his as for all
practical purposes, his campaign for reelectionends. So on a day that was
supposed to be the ultimate depths ofdespair and humiliation for Donald Trump, it's
the ultimate depths of despair and humiliationfor the man who has perverted the justice
(14:58):
system to try to barry an opponenthe can't beat at the polls. Good
to think about eight five or zerofive? A two five five the number
we're waiting for the so called BigBoy press conference to start. The White
House labeled it that way, whichguarantees you it will be the opposite of
(15:18):
that. Really can't wait to getyour take. You know that the fact
it appears to be at this point, I don't think anybody's arguing it that
Obama is behind this. Obama isbehind this green lighting of the truth about
Biden in order to out Biden,in order to oust Biden. What do
(15:39):
you think that means for who theDEM nominee is going to be and how
this thing is going to play out? Eight F five for zero five A
two five five the number text dan five seven seven three nine. Joe
Scarborough chiming in on that. JoeScarborough obviously a big part of the cover
up. But every Dem has beenBennett, Hick and Looper, all of
them. Bennett trying to cleanse himselfby coming out now and saying no,
(16:02):
no, no, Trump's going todestroy Biden, et cetera. But he's
stick. Bennett's just trying to inoculatehimself. They've all been part of the
cover up, the Biden campaign,and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack
Obama is quietly working behind the scenesto orchestrate this. So what's Obama's endgame?
(16:26):
What is Obama's end game? I'dlove to hear from you on this.
A fi five four zero five Atwo five five the number text D
an five seven seven three nine.Is it to put Michelle in there?
I'm not assuming that it is,because she could have it anyway. Yeah,
what's the endgame? First of all, I think Scarborough knows a lot
more than he's letting on in termsof the inner workings of all of this
(16:47):
Dan and he makes the point ina subsequent clip there that the more an
Obama or a David Axelrod or thesekind of establishment types try to tell Joe
what to do, the less likelyJoe is to do it, and the
more obstinate he'll become. So Idon't I think this might backfire in Barack.
Oh, we can only hope,right, because obviously every date Biden
hangs in there is better for Trump. But not a chance. And here's
(17:10):
why. Because this is like andyou've probably you know, we've all seen
the national geographic stuff, et cetera, right where you get, okay,
you've got maybe it's a water buffalo, maybe it's a zebra, and then
you've got the one lion hanging offits back, and then or maybe it's
a hyaena. But pretty soon thereare fifty of them, and Biden is
(17:32):
getting taken down before our eyes.So even if even if hunter Biden decides
that because it's it's Obama trying totake Biden down, No, they're gonna
dig in and they're gonna stay nomatter what who cares. They're gonna take
them down anyway they're gonna take them. They've got a hundred different ways to
take him down. It's like onehundred different hyenas, you know, hanging
(17:55):
off the zebra right now, andthey're taking him down before eye. What
does it mean for what comes next? Well, scheduled to start in a
few minutes is the quote big boypress conference labeled that way by the White
House. We will go to itif it's on as soon as we come
back. You're on the Dan KaplasShow. You're listening to the Dan Kapliss
(18:18):
Show podcast. We're exposes Cross.They haven't even started yet. When people
say how are they going to takeBiden? I mean is the doleg is?
They can't just set him aside?And I've been telling people for a
long time. They got a hundreddifferent ways to take him down. You've
only seen three or four of themnow. And we have predicted this in
advance, the donors, et cetera, et cetera, and Biden is hanging
(18:40):
on by a thread right now,just a thread. But after today introducing
Zelensky as putin at a NATO's summit, Yeah, that that will shorten the
political life expectancy a bit. Andnow I want to hand it over to
the President of Ukraine, who hasas much courage as he has determination.
Ladies, John, I'm not PresidentPutin, President Putin, You've got to
(19:06):
be President Pusen, President Lynsky.I'm so focused on being Putin. We
gotta worry about it anyway, misterpresident. Can you imagine what's going on
in the Kremlin right now? Andthat's understand. Putin is Satan. Putin
is raw evil in a suit.And just imagine that evil sitting around the
(19:29):
Kremlin cackling right now. Can youimagine, just picture it as as the
should be leader of the free world, but in fact, a vacuum non
existent. We don't have a presidentright now, we don't have a commander
in chief. The enemies know thatas he calls the Lynsky Putin. Yeah,
(19:49):
and there's one thing Americans will nottolerate across party lines, and that
is being laughed at. And thinkabout this, and we're awaiting the well,
big boy press conference. You wouldthink if it's such a big boy
press conference, it would start ontime, right right, big boys,
Big boys show up on time.Big boys show up on time, say
bring it on, come on,but no, this big boy press conference
(20:12):
is now eight minutes late. Buttoday, and I know we're going to
hit this break early, so hopefullywe time it to when this press conference
starts. But think about it.Today was supposed to be the day that
that Biden and the Left were tohumiliate Donald Trump to the max by having
him sentenced to jail in a NewYork courtroom, in a perversion of the
(20:36):
justice system, a wrongful conviction thatwas supposed to be today. And do
you think it's a coincidence that todayis the day that Biden's reelection bid ends
for all practical purposes, It doesn'tmatter when the announcement's made, or today
is the day that, for allpractical purposes his presidency ends, so he
will have the mantle of power,he'll be largely irrelevant. He's viewed as
(20:59):
gone at this point. Do youthink that's a coincidence that those two things
both today and of course Trump's sentencingnow off and may never occur. That
conviction may have to be thrown out. It should be thrown out for lots
of reasons, but it may haveto be vacated before there's even a sentencing
based upon the US Supreme Court rulingin the Community case, which was a
correct ruling. All right, let'syou want to break this early. Okay,
(21:25):
we'll break this early. We're goingto time the start of the quote
big boy press conference, not bigenough though that they could start on time.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.And now back to the Dan Kaplas
Show podcast. And now I wantto hand it over to the President of
Ukraine, who has as much courageas he has determination ladies, John,
(21:45):
I'm a president putin. When Isaw that, I was sitting out here
doing show prep about what five orten to four. When I saw it,
I just, you know, justlaughed out loud in the whole news
looking at me. And then thefirst thing I thought was deep fake.
I'm not even sending this to Ryan, it must be a deep fake.
And then Rob came over from Newsand he said, did you see what
(22:07):
Biden just said? And confirmed itwas real. No, that really just
happened. And the quote big boyWhite House label press conference that was supposed
to start sixteen minutes ago, stillhas not started. And we're watching a
monitor in studio and doesn't look likeit's anywhere close to starting. So we
took that last break early so wecould try to time it out for the
(22:30):
beginning. But we'll take it assoon as it begins, we will take
it. Glad you're here. Sothat obviously some of the big news of
the day. The other big newsof the day is that the Biden camp
at this point term media sura getssaying that it's Obama who's behind this effort
to oust Biden, and many saying, well, that'll just cause Biden to
dig in further. No, itwon't, no, because it doesn't matter
(22:52):
what Hunter Biden wants right now.And as I've been explaining for a long
time, you know, Hunter Bidenis calling the shots. Joe Biden has
to do what Hunter Biden wants himto do, because Hunter Biden can walk
into a prosecutor's office in my opinion, he can walk into a TV studio,
he can walk into a book publisher, and he can destroy Joe Biden
and destroy his legacy. And sothat was confirmed, right, my theory
(23:17):
was confirmed when NBC reported that HunterBiden is now working out of the White
House acting as Biden's gatekeeper. Rightthat the best protection for Hunter Biden keeping
his freedom and having a regular flowof big money. Is Joe Biden getting
a second term? So just factorall of that into your analysis. But
with Obama reportedly and he's not denyingit at this point behind the effort house
(23:41):
Biden, he's probably proud of it. You know, what does that mean
for what is to come? Isit more likely now Michelle will be the
nominee? Or what is Obama's otherplay? Eight five to five for Joe
five A two five five the numbertext d A N five seven seven three
nine. We continue to wait forthe art of the big boy press conference.
(24:03):
You know, one thing, Ryan, is I go to text.
That's so interesting to me. Andobviously I'm so grateful for this audience and
whether we agree or disagree on anissue, But there are different intensity levels
for disagreement, right, and theintensity of the dismay and the anger with
me when I say, wait asecond, this race is about to get
(24:26):
a lot tougher for President Trump.This race is going to be much much
tougher in a week or two thanit's been. Is remarkable to me because
I think it's so obvious. Whywould people be mad at me for saying
that It doesn't mean I support Trumpless. I want Trump to win.
And if you want to win,and I know this in forty years of
(24:48):
being a lawyer, you know,for catastrophically injured people you want to win,
you better be clear eyed and youbetter be honest with yourself and everybody
else about the strengths of your opponent'scase. Now, it doesn't mean they're
right and you're wrong, Not atall. We're right, they're wrong,
But if you want to beat them, you better know what their strengths are,
(25:11):
and you better be ready to facereality and defeat them in the real
world. And you know, denialsnot just a river in Egypt, And
we got an awful lot of peopleliving in denial right now thinking that Okay,
Biden's about to leave and then it'sa slam dunk for Trump. No,
it's about to get tougher for Trump. America. America is hungry for
(25:32):
new faces, dam America is hungryfor use. Yeah, we're coming up
on twenty minutes late for this pressconference. And I know they're working to
try behind the scenes to clean upthe Putin gaff, But do you think
there's a non zero chance they justcall this whole thing off tonight, but
there's no press conference could happen.I don't think that's going to happen.
I think Joe Biden is probably moredetermined than ever now to have that press
(25:56):
conference. You know, Listen,we have all said something stupid at some
point. Right There are times Igo home from a show and I say,
I can't believe I said that,and then I can't wait for the
next day's show to start, youknow, so I can get another crack
at it. And that doesn't happenoften, but it happens sometimes. The
problem with Biden is he shot,He's gone, so it happens all the
time. But for this, youcan't even call it a gaff, for
(26:19):
this monumental failure introducing Zelensky as themost evil person in the world. Yeah,
I bet he can't wait to getback out there, even if he
knows at this point that he's donedone, he can't wait to get back
out there, is my belief.Height five five or five A two five
five text d an five seven seventhree nine. We'll get back to some
(26:41):
more of those texts, Denn andRyan Joe Biden to Joe Biden later tonight,
Darling You've got to let me knowshould I stay or should I go?
By the clash that's from Andy andLafayette. You know what that wouldn't
be to Jill. That would bethe Hunter. I mean, Hunter Biden's
the one who can destroy Joe.Can anybody else explain why or offer any
(27:04):
other reason why Hunter Biden is nowoperating out of the White House. Is
Joe Biden's gatekeeper. The only wayhe could get within one hundred miles of
the White House, let alone operateas the president's gatekeeper. Is if he
has something on the president, isif he's in a position to destroy the
president. Is there any conceivable,theoretical, hypothetical flaw in that logic.
(27:29):
I don't think so. I thinkit's a codependent relationship in a lot of
ways. Dan, I mean thatliterally that Hunter obviously is there out of
his own self interest. I dothink he cares about his father, and
I think Joe, in a weirdwarped way, wants Hunter in his orbit.
He wants Hunter there. This isnot against these are not against his
wishes having Hunter in that room.But it begs the question, and Peter
(27:49):
Doucey asked in a press conference whyis Joe Biden in these high level meetings?
Is she advising him? Is shemaking decisions for him? And of
course KJP tried to deflect on that. It does warrant an explanation. Well,
that the Jill sings a lot easierto understand, right, I don't
think it's unusual to have a firstlady who's you know where she and her
(28:10):
husband taught business a lot. Doyou think she has put on policies?
You think Milania Trump was in anyof those high level meetings, of course,
but that's a different scenario about LauraBush, about Obama for that matter.
Yeah, I bet Michelle Obama didnot hesitate to let her views be
known with Barack Obama. You're justtalking about location. Now, you're talking
about whether it's an Marville office ora few feet away in the bedroom.
(28:33):
I think that's important what Kevin McCarthyhas stated in terms of when he would
go in there in Jill's hovering.I don't think Michelle would do that to
Barack because she wouldn't want to upstage. I mean, she wouldn't have You're
one hundred percent right, and weall know why Jill's there. Jill's there
because we don't have a president.He's not functional. All I'm telling you
is, when it comes down tothe bottom line, who makes the decisions?
(28:55):
Hunter Trump's Jill, he thinks,So, oh, absolutely, because
Jill can't destroyed Joe. Hunter candestroy Joe's good point. Yeah, I'd
be right, and I don't doubtJoe Biden loves his son as a parent
loves a child. But he usedhim, in my constitutionally protected opinion,
he used him as a bag mantotally. And yeah, Hunter knows where
the bodies are buried. So eightfive for zero five eight two five five
(29:19):
I mean that metaphor, who doyou I think would be more likely to
get real with Joe and pull himaside and going, you know what,
it's time to go Hunter or Jill, because it's got to be one of
them, and it might have tobe both. Well, you've got to
get real with Hunter. Hunter's callingthe shots. Is there any doubt about
that? Can? Seriously, cananybody suggest any other reason Hunter Biden would
(29:42):
be operating out of the White Housenow as Biden's gatekeeper, according to NBC
News. So let's play that outand say Hunter goes to his dad and
goes, Dad, I think it'stime for you to get out, but
you gotta pardon me. So wouldthere be a resignation press conference followed by
a pardon of Hunter or one orthe other, or how would that go?
No, you're I mean, thethe pardons a done deal. That's
a certainty, right, And he'sgoing to be pardoned as as Ford pardon
(30:04):
Nixon for all crimes against the UnitedStates. So it'll be a general pardon
that's given. That's done. Butthey've got other considerations with the timing.
Now, Biden, I don't believehe's going to resign the presidency. I
think he's simply going to announce thathe's not going to be the nominee.
How can he do that, Dan, How can he say I'm not going
to run, but I'm going tostay in office the rest of the time
(30:25):
with all this concern about his cognitiveclient him. Collin Zelenski putin today another
example, Well, they've been they'vebeen pulling this con the worst cover up
in American political history now for years, So why would they hesitate to continue
to pull it? That man isnot going to resign the president? You
don't think so? No, No, Because Dan, You and I both
know. Let's say this is aforeign fictional theory. But let's say he
(30:48):
agrees he's going to step down andto do the best thing not just for
the country, but for Kamala Harris. Let's say it's her, it's her
presidency, it's her candidacy, toallow her to assume that office, have
the power of incumbency to run on. Would Joe go that far? Serenity?
Now, my brother, Please remember, Biden wants the Democrat nominee to
(31:11):
lose, right, Biden wants theday Can anybody doubt that? Does anybody
think Biden's out there pulling for theDemocrat nominee to win? So Joe Biden's
no longer the only person to stopTrump. Hillary couldn't stop Trump, but
of course Biden wants to be theonly one who could stop Trump. Biden
wants to be sitting there as doHunter and Jill the day after election day,
(31:32):
November sixth, saying Joe would havewon. Yeah. Does anybody really
think Joe Biden right now is thinkingabout or Hunter Biden or Joe Biden?
What can we do to help thesuccessor, to help the nominee win a
chance not a chance lost. Yeah, if he's gonna go down, he's
going to take the rest of themwith him. Right, Well, I
(31:53):
mean all Joe Biden has ever caredabout is Joe Biden, right, I
mean, I'm sure he's cared abouthis children, but all he's cared about
he It's so much more important thanAmerica, let alone his political party,
and he knows much of his Thepowers in his political party despise him,
look down on him, and youthink he likes them. Not a chance,
(32:15):
And those fissures are becoming very obviousfor people. See when Obama was
present, and everybody knows it.What did you say about Joe Biden?
Don't underestimate his ability to blank thingsup? Right? So no, no,
right now, it's kind of burningdown the house. What did you
make of Joe Biden and his teamresponding to George Clooney's op ed by saying
that Joe had more stamina than GeorgeClooney because he stayed longer at the fundraiser.
(32:37):
There's a winning argument right there.Yeah, match popularity with George Clooney
And yeah, no, he asI've been saying forever, he's done.
Now the only question is timing.By the way, if you go to
at Dan Kaplis on Twitter, youcan get access to that full parody song
that I authored to hang On Sloopy, hang On Joey, because we need
(32:59):
Joey to hang out on for asmany hours and days as he can because
every one of those is good forTrump and bad for the Left. Looks
like we might have to hang onthrough the top of the hour. So,
Dan, they're white balancing right now. This is usually something you do
with about five minutes to go.Explain that's not about quotas. No,
you hold up a white card sothe cameras can focus in and balance what
(33:19):
their white level is, and soit doesn't look like it's shot in blue
or too hot or you know,just video type speaking here. But they're
getting all those loose ends tied up. And I would anticipate this would start
after top of the hour, fiveo'clock our time. Interesting text somebody asking
Dan, could Hunter be willing dealingwith Obama? No, that would never
happen with Obama, and it wouldnever happen directly. But my personal belief
(33:43):
is that there will definitely be therewill definitely be a soft landing for Hunter.
And Jill and the Biden family.And you won't be able to read
about it on the Wall Street Journalfinancial pages, you won't see it in
a contract or anything else. Butover the course of the next six months,
year, two years, three years, all of a sudden, wow,
(34:04):
that's a pretty darn good book deal. And wow, chairman of this
institute or that institute movie rights.They're all different sorts of ways to arrange
for a soft landing. And Iwould be stunned if there wasn't a very,
very very soft landing for the Bidenfamily that comes out of What's about
(34:25):
to unfold eight five to five forzero five eight two five five. Hey,
the quote big boy is l butby the White House press conference,
it's about a half an hour late. Now. I think if you're going
to have a real big boy pressconference, you walk in like a big
boy, you walk on on timeand say bring it on, show me
what you got. I can handleanything. So right now it's become a
very little teensy weinsy boy press conference. We'll have it when it starts on
(34:46):
the Dan Kapla Show.
