This 5 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.440 is one of the most exciting days in American political history. It's probably gonna 6 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.120 end up being one of the most important days in American political history, so 7 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.519 much more important than any other debate in our lifetime. So of course we're 8 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:38.280 going to be over every single aspect of this and some deeply deeply concerning behavior 9 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.359 by CNN, And it goes way beyond a Tapper and Bash. Are they 10 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.039 going to be biased against Trump? Of course, but no, this goes 11 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.240 way beyond that. So I want to get to that in a second as 12 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.399 well. We have so much hot sound for today, but just hours away. 13 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.880 I cannot wait. I think it's going to be a very good night 14 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.719 for President Trump. It'll be Biden's swin Swan song. He's going to do 15 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.759 better, better than expected, but it isn't going to matter in the end. 16 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.719 Eight five five or zero five eight two five to five the number What 17 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.560 is going to matter is that Trump's going to do a good job tonight. 18 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.760 A vast majority of humans know they had a better life under Trump than they 19 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.319 do under the Biden presidency, and they just want to see if Trump is 20 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.799 nuts. They just want to see if Trump is all these crazy things the 21 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.680 Democrats say he is, and they're going to see tonight he's not. They're 22 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.840 going to see tonight he's the guy who did the job real well and made 23 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.959 their life better, while Biden is a guy who did the job horribly and 24 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.920 made their life worse. So there's only one thing that could move us off 25 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.040 of this topic of the most important debate in American political history. Well, 26 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.159 let me say, of our lifetimes. We can argue the rest, and 27 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.120 that is this very important development in Colorado, because I talked at link yesterday 28 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:57.159 about how great and important Tuesday Night's results were to the rebirth of the GOP 29 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.599 in Colorado and reasserting itself eventually being able to win state wide again. And 30 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.359 part of that now is the move to oust Dave Williams as party chair. 31 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:12.000 So Todd Watkins from the State Central Committee, who authored the letter to Chairman 32 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.520 Dave Williams that we read on Are yesterday is able to join us right now, 33 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.719 so I want to take full advantage of that. Todd, Welcome to 34 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.960 the Dan Caplis show. Hey, thank you, mister capitalist. Glad to 35 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.639 be here. Man, you just aged me ten years, but appreciate the 36 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.759 thought. Please do call me Dan. But so Todd, we read your 37 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.240 letter to Dave Williams on Area yesterday, so I won't repeat that now. 38 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.159 It basically calls for a meeting of the Central Committee in order to vote on 39 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.319 austing Dave. But you're the expert. You're right in the middle of this. 40 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.759 Please tell folks what you're doing and why. I've never been accused of 41 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:52.240 being an expert, but I'll take it. So this is provided for in 42 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.879 the State Party's bylaws. The Central Committee can call a special meeting for any 43 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:02.560 purpose that it wants on twenty five percent of the body requesting the meeting, 44 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.039 which we have provided the request. The purpose for the meeting is to hold 45 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:13.599 a vote to remove Chairman Dave Williams from his position as the chair of the 46 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:20.120 party, and that requires sixty percent of the State Central Committee to do that. 47 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.319 Answer. Yeah, that's a very simple process of it. Has there 48 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:30.919 been any response to your letter requesting requiring that vote. Yeah, yeah, 49 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.919 quite a bit. Actually. Of course the media has picked this up across 50 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:44.719 the state. The seeking support for it has been very well received in we're 51 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:52.400 very comfortable that we have sixty percent at least of the book committee to dismiss 52 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.039 Chairman Williams. Do you think Chairman Williams is going to agree to hold the 53 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.159 vote? Oh no, no, they're not going to. They're already making 54 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.000 overtures that they're not going to. They're they're questioning the validity of the of 55 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.840 the petition with the signatures. Uh, they're asking for you know, names 56 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.280 and all of the metadata behind it, where the where the names came from? 57 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.519 I responded, simply, you're the you're the leadership of the party. 58 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.959 These are your own members. If you want to call them and ask them, 59 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:28.279 go ahead. But they've already made overtures previously to this, uh a 60 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.480 week plus that they would essentially publicize all of those who supported this, So 61 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.759 I was going to get wasn't going to give them help with emails and addresses. 62 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.560 They can look that up on their own. They they hold all the 63 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.800 records for who is a member of their committee. So wow, and how 64 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.879 how pathetic that is, you know, threatening to publicize the names of the 65 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.959 Central Committee members who want to vote on whether to oust you, rather than 66 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:01.360 just addressing the issue on the merits. That doesn't sound like greatlyleadership. I'm 67 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.199 not going to argue with you there, Dan. Yeah. I would also 68 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:13.319 like to point out that, so they were delivered the petition yesterday, they 69 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.560 have ten days from yesterday to call this meeting. If they do not, 70 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.319 any member of the Central Committee can call this meeting at the expense of the 71 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:29.759 state Party. We have fifteen days. The call has to come out fifteen 72 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.240 days prior to the meeting, but the meeting must occur thirty days within thirty 73 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.560 days of the call. So if they don't call this meeting, we will 74 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.680 call it, Todd Watkins, our guest. And when you say you'll call 75 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.360 it mechanically, that simply means that any member of the Central Committee can say, 76 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.920 Hey, we're going to We're going to meet on Saturday, July whatever 77 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.600 at ten o'clock at the high school. Be there and we'll take our vote. 78 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.439 That's right, Okay, Okay, do you expect they'll go to court 79 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:02.839 to try to block you? Surprise me, but you know I've I've done 80 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:11.120 this before with the kind of in reverse order where the previous administration held a 81 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.600 meeting, held a special meeting to take over the El Paso County organizational meeting 82 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.600 in February of twenty twenty three. That did go to court, and the 83 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.240 court ruled that we're not it wrong jurisdiction. We don't have any place here 84 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.759 in this political internal interested So I think I think they know that to be 85 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:39.480 the case. They can they can take it to court. I pretty confident 86 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.600 that Judges cann't dismiss it, just like he dismissed Al Paso County's case. 87 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:49.920 Do you think the vote will occur before the Republican National Convention by just pure 88 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.319 math in the time hacks, No, it'll be after. Okay, well, 89 00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:00.639 when do you expect the vote will be? Mathematically? Uh, interest 90 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.439 real world because you've obviously got all these moving pieces that you're dealing with. 91 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.759 Yeah, I mean, you know, so, I believe July sixth is 92 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.920 the tenth day, so you know, you got you make the call has 93 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.560 to occur within thirty days, so you're looking really August at the latest, 94 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:26.800 I suppose, but it would it would happen after the uh, the then 95 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.439 sure, because you have to you have to give it least fifteen days notice. 96 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.160 So so if we say if we called this meeting on July seventh, 97 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.720 we couldn't call it for the next day, he has to understood, you 98 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.680 know, we get least fifteen days out. And my final question, what 99 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.399 percentage of the Central Committee if the vote was held today do you believe would 100 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:51.959 vote to remove Chairman Williams over sixty percent? Yeah? Yeah, well yeah, 101 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.519 I mean you've you've probably uh, he had taken the temperature of the 102 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.279 of the state party just well by observations, did you see where it stands? 103 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.199 And I would have to believe that that number is going up with the 104 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.160 will of the people being expressed in Chairman Williams home area, and these are 105 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:18.040 largely GOP voters on primary night, with the absolute she lacking that he took, 106 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.120 I think that has probably further weaken disposition. Yeah. I mean I'm 107 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:28.319 in El Paso County, so you know some home hometown kid, I guess 108 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.639 yeah, And I mean the clerk sends us all the daily data. I 109 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.039 think the county had twenty eight point twenty point ish percent voter turnout, which 110 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.639 is better than I think we're expecting it. Yeah, the Republicans even out 111 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.960 numbered the unaffiliateds in turnout, and you saw what happened in the D five 112 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.960 race. And if I may add, I mean we held this, we 113 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.720 held onto this petition to wait for the primary resultsking that well, let's see 114 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.440 what the people say. I mean, if the people, if the people 115 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.919 vote with their current administration and their their st their brand of politics and leadership, 116 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.960 then I guess you know they've spoken, and uh, we are the 117 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.960 Republican Party, and you know we are guaranteed a Republican small art form of 118 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.039 government. So I mean that would be the appropriate thing to do that. 119 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.960 If the people disagree with that, yeah, then we're done here. We 120 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.360 we we you know, lick our wounds and go on and say, well, 121 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.320 see what happens next. Nope. I believe that people are in favor 122 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.639 of this move, and I think that we kind of have an obligation to, 123 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.440 uh to respect that right well and do this. I think you're absolutely 124 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.720 right that people have spoken. I think in a lot of different ways. 125 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.440 So you know, just as a Coloraden and a Republican, I appreciate what 126 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.600 you're doing. It's not personal with Dave. I actually kind of like Dave, 127 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.480 but for all the reasons that have been stated, he has got to 128 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.480 go as party chair for the cause, all of the causes that we're also 129 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.960 committed to. Thank you, Todd Watkins. Look forward to the next conversation. 130 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.960 Thank you. You take care of that? Is that Todd Watkins say 131 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.159 when we come back. It is all debate all the time. CNN engaging 132 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.679 in some very very concerning behavior about tonight, to the point where the White 133 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.519 House Correspondence Association, pretty far left group, is stepped in. They're furious 134 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.120 with CNN and they're concerned about what's about to happen. You're on the Dan 135 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.720 Capla Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. This is a 136 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.679 tough business. So you're a tough guy, and we need to have a 137 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.080 leader that is for real top you're never going to be president, and I 138 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.080 insulting your way to Let's see, I'm at forty two and you're at three, 139 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.720 so somehow I'm doing better. Somewhere I'm doing better. You know, 140 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.519 you started off all the hits, yet you're moving over further and further. 141 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.919 Pretty soon you're going to be off. The end is that the President Trump 142 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.039 you want tonight. I got my answer to that, but first we have 143 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.600 to talk about something that is deeply, deeply concerning. And I'm the guy 144 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.360 who's been on air all week telling you, hey, wait a second, 145 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.600 to CNN is going to be more fair to Trump. They're not going to 146 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.159 be completely fair. Obviously they want him to lose and they hate him viscerally, 147 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.600 but they're going to be more fair to Trump than people think and all 148 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.799 of this and that, well, there's been a development that has to has 149 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:33.240 to really undermine any honest person's confidence in CNN for tonight. This is coming 150 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.600 from the White House Correspondence Association. This is a liberal group. Here's the 151 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:48.440 headline in the Washington Post. White House Correspondence blast CNN for debate access snub. 152 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.159 The association representing White House reporters says to the network should allow a pull 153 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.879 reporter to be in the closed studio where Biden and Trumpell debate. Now, 154 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.080 before I get into the Washington Post story, this is obvious, right. 155 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:09.759 There is no legitimate reason whatsoever to keep a poll reporter out of this auditorium, 156 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.519 out of this arena where the debate is going to occur. The only 157 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:22.200 conceivable reason to keep the reporter out is to prevent the reporting of true facts 158 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:28.919 that are likely to be bad for Joe Biden. This is fundamentally dishonest, 159 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:35.799 fundamentally Unamerican. And you've even got the lefty press stepping up and squalling about 160 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.679 it right now, which they should. And here's part of the Washington Post 161 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.360 take on it. The White House Correspondence Association criticized CNN for not allowing a 162 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.879 designated poll reporter to be in the room as the network produces Thursday's presidential debate. 163 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.399 The absence of a pool reporter representing the larger White House Press Corps is 164 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.720 notable because there will be no audience present for the debate, which is being 165 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.519 held then a closed studio in Atlanta. I'll interject here, so get this. 166 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:13.159 So CNN now no audience, no witnesses, no witnesses whatsoever to anything 167 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:20.559 that may happen in there when the cameras are off. Why think about that? 168 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.879 What conceivable justification could there be for that other than to protect Joe Biden. 169 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.480 The piece goes on, the White House Pool has a duty to document, 170 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.120 report, and witness the president's events and his movements on behalf of the 171 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.799 American people. The pool is there for the what ifs in a world where 172 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.559 the unexpected does happen. A pool reporter is present to provide context and insight 173 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.399 by direct observation and not through the lens of the television production. And then 174 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.000 it goes on to describe a bunch of stuff quote. A pool reporter is 175 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.200 there to observe what is said and done when microphones are off, or when 176 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.279 either candidate is not seen on camera but may speak, gesture, move, 177 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.720 or engage in some way. And then the story goes on to say in 178 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.799 the post, how you know, the Correspondence Association has been pushing CNN on 179 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.039 this for a while, So think about what's happening here. You've got a 180 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.759 president in Biden who has repeatedly seized up in public. He's had these bizarre 181 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:26.480 moments where he just starts spewing gobbledegook. He has times where he wanders aimlessly. 182 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.279 And now CNN is keeping all witnesses out of the room other than CNN 183 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.200 personnel. So it would just be Donald Trump saying, hey, wait a 184 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.320 second. During the break, you know, Biden started babbling like a child. 185 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.639 Biden wandered off and they had to go grab him. All of this 186 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.000 behavior, all of this information should it happen, you know, being highly 187 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.159 relevant to the American people. So think about what CNN is doing. CNN 188 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.200 is intentionally intentionally eliminating witnesses from the room in case Biden engages in any of 189 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.000 the behavior we've seen so often from him recently, any of it off camera. 190 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.600 It's just one of the worst things I've seen in the history of journalism. 191 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.360 How much of this, Dan, do you suspect has been coordinated between 192 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.279 CNN and the Biden White House? One hundred percent? Yeah. Yeah. 193 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.919 And then now there's another question out there and a Texter hits it. There 194 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.799 are several people saying, Dan, don't forget about the two minute delay of 195 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.720 the debate. I would have led with that if we can source it. 196 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.200 Here. Here's the thing. All over the internet right now, including x 197 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.039 there are these reports that CNN is instituting a one to two minute delay. 198 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.960 If that is true, it falls into the same bucket that I was just 199 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:50.159 talking about, you know, just just a blatant dereliction of duty for any 200 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.440 journalist, any broadcaster, a blatant effort to protect Biden, etcetera. The 201 00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.320 problem is maybe you can source it directly. I can't source that report right 202 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.639 now. I see it all over the internet, but I cannot find an 203 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.399 original source. I cannot see any confirmation from CNN. It may be out 204 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.120 there and I've just missed it. But if it's out there, tell me 205 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.399 where it is, and I'll let everybody else know, because that would be 206 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.840 equally horrific if CNN was putting in a one minute delay. Listen, we 207 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.320 got seven seconds here, right, and so we're on a seven second delay. 208 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.360 Everybody's on a seven second delay, right, Maybe ten might be ten, 209 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.639 Okay, But here's the point. The justification for that is if a 210 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.759 caller utters some obscenity or something, or yet, we're not allowed to me. 211 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.080 You think I would I was going to do that. I would have 212 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.000 done that thirty years ago. But no. But here's the point. There 213 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:52.840 is no justification for a one second delay, not even a one second delay 214 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.000 in this debate tonight, because if one of these candidates was to utter an 215 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.440 obscenity that's normally not permitted, it would be permitted because of the news context. 216 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.640 If the President of the United States or the presumptive GOP nominee utters an 217 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.920 obscenity and that context. It's news and it may be aired, so there's 218 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:18.880 no justification for any delay tonight. All I'm telling you is I cannot find 219 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.160 credible sourcing for the report that it's going to be a one to two minute 220 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.359 delay. We'll continue to work on that. Does it really quick, Dan? 221 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:29.680 Does it change your opinion as to whether Bash and Tapper will be even 222 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.119 handed, fair or try to be tonight? No? And here's why, 223 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.480 because I come back to their self interest and what I expect from Bash and 224 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:45.480 Tapper is that they will ask equally tough initial questions of both Trump and Biden 225 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.480 the follow up questions. Sorry, I'm just hitting puberty. My voice is 226 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.680 changing. The follow up questions are the only thing that matter. The initial 227 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.400 questions don't matter at all. Anybody can duct a question, and it's all 228 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.119 about the follow up questions. The follow up questions to Trump will be tougher 229 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.960 than the follow up questions to Biden, but not by as large a margin 230 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.319 as expected for the reasons we've discussed before. But CNN at this point cannot 231 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.599 justify what it's doing. You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast. He's 232 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.240 had the gall to go World Trade Center, came down the mother for that 233 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.799 hold on. He's had the gall to go after my mother. It's not 234 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.039 keeping. I won the lottery when I was born sixty three years ago. 235 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.160 Looked up, but I saw my mom. Mom. My mom is the 236 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.720 strongest woman I know. She's just not a See. That's the I'm sorry, 237 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.559 that's the Trump I want tonight. I understand the danger in that, 238 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.839 but I want the animated Trump tonight, not the approach. Not the approach 239 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.519 at the first twenty twenty debate that was disastrous, that that kind of rude, 240 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.640 constant, interrupting to no point. It's that's not what I want tonight. 241 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.079 But I want the fully alive Trump. I want the energized, vibrant, 242 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.839 funny Trump. I think if they try to suppress Trump and make them 243 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:15.359 too quote presidential, then at that point you lose a lot of that energy. 244 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.039 And frankly, I don't think he'll be a sharp I don't know how 245 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.839 it is for you. Everybody's different, right, but they're an awful lot 246 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.960 of people, and I think Trump's one of them that the more animated, 247 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.960 the more intense they are, the sharper and quicker they are So that's the 248 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.039 Trump I want to see tonight with a healthy dose of humor as well, 249 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.400 because think about the contrast. Now, I know Biden's not relevant tonight. 250 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.079 He's not going to be their nominee. We all know that, but it 251 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:42.240 still is a very helpful contrast. And whoever the DEM nominee is going to 252 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:48.200 be is going to be. Obviously, everybody is younger than Biden, at 253 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.759 least younger acting and performing. So I think it's very important that Trump be 254 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:59.680 his vigorous self tonight because whether it's Obama or Newsome or whomever, the Dem 255 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.559 nah many is going to be younger and more energetic than Biden. So yeah, 256 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.319 I want to see the Trump in full tonight. I got an update 257 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.039 on the alleged delay that we've been talking about trying to source. Dan. 258 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.519 Let me prefaces with a question for you. Do you think the communications and 259 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.400 PR team for CNN are morons or idiots? Those are my only two choices. 260 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.440 Are they morons or idiots? Yes or no? Yes or no question? 261 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.960 Do you think they don't know? Okay, I don't even know who 262 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:30.599 the light after this? Either they're being intentionally deceptive or they're stupid beyond words. 263 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.440 No, they're not stupid. Okay, here we go. They may 264 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.039 be smrons, smart people acting moronically. So this Patrick Webb, he's like 265 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.599 an independent journalist. I think he tweeted out the following breaking CNN will implement 266 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.880 a one to two minute delay for tonight's presidential debate instead of the standard seven 267 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:51.920 second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast. Their response, 268 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.759 CNN pr this is false. The debate will begin live at nine pm 269 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:02.960 Eastern. So they didn't directly adds. What they're stupidly apparently answering is no, 270 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:03.880 it's going to start on time. There won't be a delay. I 271 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.680 won't go to nine oh two and start that it'll start on time. That's 272 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.119 not the question, you morons. That is will there be a delay in 273 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:17.279 the broadcast transmission of the ninety minute debate throughout? They know that they have 274 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.960 to know that and listen. I understand that it would be easy for CNN 275 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.359 to say no, there will be no delay, or no, there will 276 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.319 be a seven second delay. By the way, my position is there shouldn't 277 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.079 be any delay, not even a millisecond. But they didn't say that directly. 278 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:36.440 Right at the same time, Ryan, I can't find any confirmation anywhere 279 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.359 that there will be a delay tonight. I cannot find that confirmation what I 280 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.000 can find, And if you're joining the show now, thank you. This 281 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:51.160 is very important. CNN is in fact barring all witnesses, all witnesses from 282 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.559 that room that they're not allowing in even a press pool reporter. Obviously there 283 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.599 will be no audience. And so the White House correspondence is so ciation of 284 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.599 a left leaning group is outraged about that and saying, wait, we have 285 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.680 to have a reporter in there. We have to be able to report on 286 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.720 what happens during breaks, what happens when it's not on camera, And they 287 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.400 don't say it, but it's obvious that when you've had a presentent who's frozen 288 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.680 up many times in public now and wandered off, they need to be able 289 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.519 to report if that happens. So my position as CNN has no legitimate reason 290 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.839 to keep a pull reporter out of that room. And I'll bet you, 291 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.839 I'll bet you another tomahawk, my friend, that they do relent and they 292 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.119 allowed the pull a reporter in because now they've been busted right now that it's 293 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.000 a national story. They've been busted. Everybody can see they're trying to protect 294 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.720 Biden, and I think they're going to have to let a pull a reporter 295 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:48.000 in. Please focus on the stupid Why would anybody who has access to the 296 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:55.240 CNN Communications pr X account reply with that idiotic response listen that it will start 297 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:57.400 on time, that that was the incident. I get it if if you're 298 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.240 in front of a jury right now, you would win an argument that that 299 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.359 response by not directly refuting the allegation admits it, you would win on that. 300 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.559 But all I'm saying is I can't find any independent confirmation what may be 301 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:18.519 going on there is maybe as CNN was planning some substantial delay and now they're 302 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.839 going to rethink that. But again, I have seen no confirmation that there 303 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:29.440 was ever any delay planned. We'll find out together, right, I mean, 304 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.160 we're going to I'm going to be able to find out. Dan they 305 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:37.039 could have totally dismissed that with a direct right response. Now podcast will not 306 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.920 be delayed throughout I hear you. They have to know that was the accusation. 307 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.079 Very good reasoning. I agree with that. All I'm saying is I 308 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.279 can't look our listeners in the microphone and say there's going to be a one 309 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.599 to two minute delay without being able to confirm that somewhere. You consider that 310 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.960 confirmation the failure to directly deny it, and I accept that. I mean, 311 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.440 I accept the logic behind that. Let's see, Oh, we've got 312 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.680 so many texts coming in. Dan, you keep saying CNN wants Biden out, 313 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.440 So why would they do that or do you think they want info on 314 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.319 him so they can use it to blackmail him in the future. Great, 315 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.680 great thinking by this, Texter. Listen above all, CNN wanted this debate. 316 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.640 This is the only debate I can remember presidential that isn't run by the 317 00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:25.039 Presidential Commission. So CNN now has this lottery win, right, they own 318 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.119 it. When you watch it on Fox tonight, it will say CNN on 319 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.640 the screen, the CNN debate. So maybe it's something that CNN agreed to 320 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.680 to be able to get the debate, because obviously the Biden camp doesn't want 321 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:42.119 any witnesses in there to what Biden may do during breaks. Yeah, maybe 322 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.599 it's something they agreed to. I don't think there's any question CNN wants Biden 323 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.880 out of this race. CNN hates Trump, they want Trump defeated, and 324 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.200 they know that Biden is he's not going to make it to election day as 325 00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.400 a remotely credible option, Dan great opportunity for Tump actually show the quote threat 326 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.279 to democracy. Boy, that is such a timely text. A tremendous poll. 327 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.240 There's been a lot of good polling come out today for President Trump, 328 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:12.319 and one of those is Washington Post that shows that on the issue of who 329 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.000 do you trust more to deal with the threat to democracy? By an eleven 330 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:25.440 point March and forty four to thirty three, voters trust Trump more than Biden 331 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.599 to deal with the threat to democracy, as they should because the threat to 332 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:32.839 democracy is Biden and the left. And do you think there will be a 333 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.720 tape delay or will it truly be live on the debate? I expect at 334 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.720 this point that if in I underline, if they had planned to delay, 335 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.400 that it will now either be live or have kind of a typical seven second 336 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.480 delay. Again, my position is there's no justification for a seven second delay. 337 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.759 Those only exist in case somebody swears on air, And if somebody swore 338 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.160 during the debate, it would be newsworthy, it would be permitted to be 339 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.319 broadcast. So I don't think they I don't think they can justify a one 340 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.319 second delay, and I don't think they can justify keeping out a pool reporter. 341 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.680 Dan, So, now that that's not public my White House Correspondence Association, 342 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.119 do you think CNN will relent and let a pool reporter do? Okay? 343 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.359 Yes? I help you, so, yes. And if they don't, 344 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:19.680 what does that tell you? Uh huh? Because what's what's the downside? 345 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:22.880 In the words of Donald Trump, you what the hell do you have 346 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.319 to lose? Yeah, what's the downside of allowing a pool reporter? He's 347 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.000 the president of the United States, that the people of the United States have 348 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.079 a right to know what happens in there, and it shouldn't be in the 349 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:42.279 control of CNN only to decide what the people get shown. Yes. So 350 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.240 no. And you know, if there are those freeze up moments, et 351 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.200 cetera for Biden, they are most likely to happen during breaks or the wandering 352 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.200 off or whatever. So now I think they'll have to relent now that they've 353 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.119 been busted. Dan, I'm praying that Biden's people don't overjuice him and give 354 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:03.000 him an aneurysm on National TV. That would be horrendous, not knowing what 355 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.039 their secret sauce is. Yeah, there's no way to comment on the risk 356 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:12.599 of this or that. Here's what we do know. Logically, if if 357 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:19.279 medically, they could do every day what they do for these special occasions to 358 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.359 get him better, they would be doing it every day. That's a great 359 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:27.319 point. So whatever they're doing must be something that is too dangerous to repeat 360 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:32.240 every day. Eight five five Z five A two five five comeback will take 361 00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:36.839 calls tremendous text, red hot sound. Maybe one of the most important days 362 00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:41.720 in American political history. You're on the Dan Capla Show and now back to 363 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.279 the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament 364 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.400 of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country, because 365 00:27:52.440 --> 00:28:00.880 you'd be in jail, Secretary Clayton, That's the Trump I want tonight, 366 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.559 not the Trump of the first twenty twenty debate, but that Trump where sense 367 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.359 of humor is fully alive. Not that the rude, nonsensical to no end 368 00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:17.839 interrupting, but that kind of intellectual aggressiveness, that sense of humor so important 369 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.519 that we have him fully alive tonight, in control, yes, but fully 370 00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.160 alive and listen, we all know that if you you know from your own 371 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.480 life, if you're going to be out there and you're going to be living 372 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.839 in full and you're going to be living out loud, sometimes you're going to 373 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.279 go outside the lines that there is no way to do it perfectly. There's 374 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.799 no perfect balance. You're always going to err on one side or the other. 375 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.519 I'd rather have him air on the living out loud side, but not 376 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.720 that ugly, rude, nonsensical interrupting that we saw in twenty There's a big 377 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.559 difference between that and what you just hurt that flashback from sixteen, and there 378 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.799 are plenty of others out there eight five to five for zero five eight two 379 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.240 five five if you just joined us. Some very concerning news about the behavior 380 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:06.559 of CNN. White House Correspondence Association, a lefty or left leaning group blasting 381 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:11.640 CNN because, get this, they're refusing to allow witnesses in the CNN studios 382 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.279 to see what goes on during breaks or what goes on that may not be 383 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:22.039 captured by CNN cameras. They will not allow a pool reporter in when the 384 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.200 President of the United States is engaged in an official function. That's insane. 385 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.960 And there's no legitimate reason for it. Obviously it's being done to cover for 386 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:36.279 Biden. So i'd bet you tomahawk that yeah, they. CNN is forced 387 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.960 to relent at this point because it's so obvious now you know that they are 388 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.400 on Biden's team, when even the left is going after him for that. 389 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.920 So we'll keep you updated on that. There is no official sourcing available for 390 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.519 the claim that CNN will have a one to two minute delay tonight. I 391 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.720 don't think a single second delay is justified for the reasons we've just discussed Texter. 392 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:03.519 We have such smart listeners. Dan Trump should wear a body camo. 393 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.240 Great. I love it when there are no rules against that, right, 394 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.559 I don't think. So they can't bring pre written notes, right, They 395 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.079 get a pen and a pad of paper in front of them and that's it. 396 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.960 Think about how much that favors Biden to not have the notes, right, 397 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.839 Trump doesn't need them, But it's such a help to Biden to not 398 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.079 have the notes, because that it would just short circuit what's left of his 399 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.000 brain if he's trying to keep track of what's in his notes and look down 400 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.000 at his notes. So the Biden camp was very smart it may have even 401 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.680 been their requirement that there be no notes. And one thing that I hope 402 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.799 Donald Trump can do when he walks right up to the podium immediately is write 403 00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:44.200 down the names of the young women who have been raped on the murderer by 404 00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.319 illegals here and then pop quiz Joe hotshot. Yeah, can you need any 405 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.880 one of these young women that have been murdered by your illegal migrants that have 406 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.359 been here. I love the thinking behind that. If he's going to do 407 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.799 that, he has to be prepared for Biden to named them, and then 408 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.079 then he has to have a follow up line of attack on Biden there, 409 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.960 because you've got to believe they've spent half of their what is it two months 410 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.279 of prep now for Biden just drilling those names into his head, or maybe 411 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.160 just one name, yeah, which he's a remember he didn't get right at 412 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.359 the State of the Union called her Lincoln Riley, not Lincoln Yeah Riley. 413 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.640 Yes, So no, you can bet that's been half of his prep. 414 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.720 But and you tell me eight five to five for zero five A two five 415 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:32.519 five text d an five seven seven three nine, What what kind of creative 416 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.799 move would you like to see from Trump? Tonight that you think nobody sees 417 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.920 coming. Would love to hear from you on that text, d An five 418 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.519 seven seven three nine if you don't feel like calling Texter Dan. What about 419 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.680 Biden getting administered medication during the debate, Yeah, another reason why they wouldn't 420 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.799 want to have, you know, a poll reporter in there CNN. I 421 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.599 think clearly being part of Biden's team is is it? You can't confer with 422 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.680 advisors, But there's no rule again getting medication. I doubt we'll see that 423 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.759 because again, the other debates, the other circumstances we've seen where Biden is 424 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.119 better than he normally is. And I know it was weird and bizarre and 425 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:14.000 angry old man. Can we get some angry old man for the five o'clock 426 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:16.599 hour or two? You know, the SNL stuff we've been reallying. Yeah, 427 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.279 but like State of the Union, he was able to get through that. 428 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.359 What was it probably about sixty three sixty four minutes. But here's the 429 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:27.680 point. State of the Union was all scripted. You know, Biden wasn't 430 00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:30.839 being actively questioned, He didn't have that extra stimulation. I still think, 431 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.160 you know, tomorrow the reporting will be Biden did better than expected. I 432 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.119 still think we'll see that, but it won't matter because it's all about Trump. 433 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:42.839 It's all about how well Trump do us. People of Merrick already know 434 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.920 their lives are better under Trump. But the people don't follow this stuff every 435 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.359 day like you do. They just want to see, Hey, is he 436 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.440 the nut job? The left says he is, and that's what they're tuning 437 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.119 in to see. Tonight. Is just all about Trump. Unless Biden does 438 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.920 have one of those really gary horrible freeze up moments. If he does that, 439 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:06.839 Ryan, then yeah, then he's probably out within a week. If 440 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.559 he does what he typically does in these things and he's better than expected, 441 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:14.480 then he's out by the convention. Speaking of which, to see the latest 442 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:21.559 evidence in my favor today the widespread reporting that Michelle Obama is not going to 443 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.759 campaign for Joe Biden. Now, do you think the leak of that story 444 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.200 is the timing is coincidental? No? Wait a minute, hold on the 445 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.440 Democratic conventions in Chicago, right, this is the backyard of Michelle Obama. 446 00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.200 She's gonna be one of the featured speakers one of those nights, you would 447 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:42.039 think, right, she has to be. Well, the reporting is she's 448 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.240 not going to campaign for a bit campaigned for Bibles, right, but would 449 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.359 she appear at the convention as he featured the speaker. That's a fair question. 450 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.480 All I'm saying is the leaking of that story coming at the same time 451 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.680 that Gavin Newsom is moving back to Marin County so his kids can be in 452 00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.440 one school, and Jared Poulis's resurface in National TV. All these vultures are 453 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:07.279 circling, right. They're all just positioning themselves for the moment very soon when 454 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:13.159 Biden will not be officially will no longer be the presumptive nominee. And and 455 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.559 it's so interesting to listen to this sound. This is just from twenty but 456 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:21.559 but listen to Biden in this sound as well. The issue is the American 457 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:25.000 people should speak. You should go out and vote. You're in voting, 458 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:29.159 now, vote and let your senators know. How are you gonna how you 459 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.039 feel? Let vote now? In a fact, make sure you in fact 460 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.360 let people know. Senator. I'm not going to answer the question because answer 461 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:42.000 that, because the question is the question is just this rational left. Well 462 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.760 you should who is so welcome back? As bad as Biden was in twenty 463 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.039 think how much worse he sounds now, no way he's going to be their nominee.
