The Democrat National 6 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.519 Convention aka bar scene from Star Wars. 7 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:20.920 Glad you are here. 8 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.039 So who's benefiting more from this gathering in Chicago? Is 9 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.039 it the Democrats? Or as I believe, is it President 10 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.079 Trump and other GOP candidates? Eight five to five for 11 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.600 zero five eight two five to five The number text 12 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.439 d an five seven seven three nine. 13 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.159 I had an epiphany in the middle of the night. 14 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:41.960 I don't know if this happens to you, but it 15 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.960 tends to happen to me the shower. A lot of 16 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.000 epiphanies in the shower, and a lot of epiphanies just 17 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:48.920 kind of middle. 18 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:49.079 Of the night. 19 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.679 You know, you wake up and it's quiet, and it's calm, 20 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.079 and you get to think a little bit. And if 21 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.119 I really have to go back to sleep in a hurry, 22 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.600 then I'll just think of golf, right, just think of 23 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.479 great golf shots. But otherwise I think of some of 24 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.439 these deep questions of the day. And Ryan, this occurred 25 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.599 to me in the middle of the night, Like so 26 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.920 many of my epiphanies, that at first people say, ah, 27 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.560 that's crazy, and then about a week later, maybe it's true, and. 28 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.519 Then two weeks slayter, ma'am, that's brilliant. 29 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.400 This one is going to fall in that category because 30 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.359 I guarantee your initial reaction to it, no matter where 31 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.480 you are right now, no matter where you're driving, is. 32 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.879 Going to be skeptical. But then as you let it sink. 33 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.200 And you're going to say, Wow, that is exactly what's 34 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.879 going on here. So here it is, Ryan, my epiphany 35 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.760 last night, reflecting back on Night one of the DNC, 36 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.480 and there is so much to talk about. There's so 37 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.840 much fun stuff there, so much stuff that you just 38 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.239 know is hurting Harris, hurting the Democrats in the Swing States. 39 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.359 But we'll get to that in a second. Here's the 40 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:57.159 epiphany that the Democrats, and I'm talking about the Democrats 41 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.000 who own and operate the Democratic Party. I'm talking about 42 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.799 the Democrat elite. I'm talking about you know, the Whitmers, 43 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.719 the Shapiros, the Newsomes, the others. I won't put police 44 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.560 in that categories. 45 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.039 To want to be. 46 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.919 But the Democrat elite is much more afraid of Harris 47 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.439 winning than of Harris losing. Think about that for a second. 48 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.400 They are much more afraid of Harris winning. Think about 49 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.039 and they hate Trump right with the heat of a 50 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.479 thousand sons. They hate Trump, but for their own selfish 51 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.800 long term interest, they are much more concerned, much more 52 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.199 afraid of Harris winning. 53 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.759 Because think of if you're one of the. 54 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.400 Owners and operators of the Democratic Party, if you're one 55 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.639 of these uber ambitious Shapiros, Whitmers, Newsoms, etc. Your worst 56 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:56.879 case scenario is Harris winning. Because if Harris wins, think 57 00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:01.599 about what happens to the Democratic Party. You go from 58 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.199 the embarrassment and the horror of the Biden years and 59 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.400 the damage that's doing to the brand into the Harris years, 60 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.960 which promised to be far worse. 61 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.599 And at that point, at. 62 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:22.360 That point, you risk losing enormous blocks of support over time, 63 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.319 because as bad as Biden has been, part of it 64 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.599 is it's just Biden, right, He's never been anything other 65 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.800 than mediocre at best. But as bad as Biden has been, 66 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.360 even as he's been in this deep cognitive decline, Harris 67 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.840 is going to be so much worse she already has been. 68 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.960 She's just living in this bizarre, surreal, protective bubble right now, 69 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.000 which they intend to continue through election day. But she's 70 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:52.120 so incapable, she's less intellectually capable than Biden, that's clear. 71 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.159 I mean, they have to shelter her from everything. Did 72 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.400 you see, Ryan, where they had to move patrons out 73 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.520 of a restaurant she was going to be because they 74 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.319 could not trust her to be in a restaurant with patrons, 75 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.520 with real people, with real Americans. And then, according to 76 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.520 the stories I saw, and unless it's been refuted somewhere else, 77 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.159 it sure looks like they brought in their own people 78 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.480 to be in the restaurant with her. But come on, 79 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.519 she hasn't given a real interview, hasn't at a press conference, 80 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.759 you know, since she was installed. It's so clear they 81 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.879 don't trust her, and it's so clear they're wise not 82 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.720 to trust her. Imagine Ryan, if she wins and then 83 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.120 they've got to take her out of the basement, then 84 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.279 she has to function in that job, and it's going 85 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.879 to be a blank show, and it's really going to 86 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:41.600 hurt the brand. 87 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.920 It's really going to hurt the country. 88 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.199 It's going to wipe them out in the midterms, and 89 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.600 then all of a sudden, you've got Shapiro, Whitmer, Knew 90 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.879 some everybody in the Democratic Party who's ambitious having to 91 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.279 sit behind her for four years, and she'd certainly get 92 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.639 wiped out if she wins, She'd certain which I don't 93 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.199 believe she will, she'd certainly get wiped out in twenty 94 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.839 eight because you've got this stockpile of great young GOP 95 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.360 talent just chomping at the bit for the post Trump era. 96 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.319 This is a very interesting analysis, Dan, but I think 97 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.839 it's solid for two additional points that I've seen through 98 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.720 reporting in little granules of clues that you could gather 99 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.279 from last night. The first of the clues was reporting 100 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.759 that I have seen from behind the scenes that the 101 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.040 Democrats elected Democrats in Congress be at the center of 102 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.560 the House. They know off the record that four years 103 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.800 of a Trump presidency are not going to be the 104 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.439 end of the world. 105 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.279 So that's point one. Point two. 106 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.720 Joe Biden was even asked last night about, you know, 107 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.639 why he decided to vacate the ticket, and it was 108 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.959 again coming back to not hurting the down ballot races. 109 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.879 That's also something that Nancy Pelosi has said. So it 110 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.199 makes sense along your lines of logic that the Democratic 111 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.879 Party would want to punt. They would never say this publicly, 112 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.879 but they would know that. Okay, Donald Trump for four years, 113 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.160 he can't run for reelection. 114 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:05.720 We're going to clear the deck. 115 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.680 We're going to have a brand new start at this 116 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.040 in twenty twenty eight, Republicans have a new candidate, will 117 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.560 have a new candidate, and we'll try again. Then they 118 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.439 just want to mitigate, in my view, aligning with your view, 119 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.680 they want to mitigate losses in the Senate and House 120 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.160 this time around, to reload for twenty eight. 121 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.000 That's where I'm at. 122 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.600 No, I think that's exactly right. And then ask yourself 123 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.519 this question. For those driving home right now, already home, whatever, 124 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.879 who are skeptical, ask yourself this question. Who in power 125 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.279 in the Democratic Party actually wants Harris to win. Let's 126 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.519 start with the obvious Biden. Of course he doesn't. He 127 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.519 wants the people who humiliated him and deposed him to fail, Right, 128 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.959 that's a given, and then go right through the list. 129 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.040 Everybody else in line for the presidency. They want her 130 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.680 to lose, right, everybody who cares about the midterms. They 131 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.959 want her to lose because they know it's likely to 132 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.639 be a blood bath for the Democrats in the midterms 133 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.040 in two years if she wins. Because they know her Ryan, 134 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.519 they know how awful she is, and that's the only 135 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.560 reason right now they have to bury her. They have 136 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.920 to wrap her up in bubble wrap. And you can't 137 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.639 even let her give a press conference. So one, Yeah, 138 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.519 that's the strange dynamic that we're in right now is 139 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.680 the Democrats are more afraid of her winning, yes than 140 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.519 lose more. 141 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.879 Tea leaves to read too, Dan, there's a Ronoke College 142 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.399 pull out just today, Kamala Harris. With all this fanfare, 143 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.160 there's pomp and circumstance, the bubble wrap that you talk about, 144 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.199 the protection of her, the glorification, the joy propaganda out there. 145 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.399 She's up three in either pole, whether it's just head 146 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.959 to head or the third party candidates are included. She's 147 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.319 up three points on Donald Trump in the state of Virginia. 148 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.759 In Virginia another point along those lines. Three senators they 149 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.639 are embroiled in very tough races. John Tester in Montana, 150 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.160 Shared Brown in Ohio, Jackie Rosen and Nevada Guess what, Dan, 151 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.000 None of those three are at the DNC this week, 152 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.639 none of them. 153 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.639 What about Caraveo from CD eight and another one, she's 154 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.519 not there. 155 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.959 If Kamala Harris had coattails, believe me, Caravel, the three 156 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.839 senators I just mentioned, they would be sprinting to Chicago 157 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.399 to try to gain any kind of you know, coattail 158 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.040 advantage that Kamala Harris brings. 159 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.399 But they're avoiding her. 160 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.600 Why well, all the reasons we've talked about, right, and 161 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.519 then beyond that, they know once this starts to go 162 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.840 bad for them, once they're out of this sugar high, 163 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.759 this artificial period, once it starts to go bad for them, 164 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.480 it's going to go really bad for them. So we 165 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.480 have a lot of great sound from last night and 166 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.639 beyond to play for you when we get back, including 167 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.080 and I want to throw this out there for you 168 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.799 to chew on, and anybody wants to take on my 169 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.320 premise that the Dems are now more afraid of Harris 170 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.840 winning than losing the dem elite are, you know? 171 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.960 When we come back as well, I want to talk about. 172 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:08.159 Whether whether Harris is going to underperform Biden with older voters, 173 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.759 whether there are a bunch of older voters now very 174 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.799 very upset about the way they just took Joe Biden 175 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.120 to the vat and put him down, including the humiliation 176 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.039 of where they placed him last night eight five five 177 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.440 for zero five A two five five textas at d 178 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.360 an five seven seven three nine. 179 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.399 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 180 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:37.000 I see a leader who understands. I see a leader 181 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.039 with a real commitment to a better future for working 182 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:49.519 families and Chicago. We have to help her win because 183 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.639 we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for 184 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.679 a dollar if it manligning his own pockets and greeting 185 00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.720 the palms of his Wall Street friends. 186 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.639 And I the one I'm tired. 187 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.440 Of hearing about how a two bit union buster thinks 188 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.639 of himself as more of a patriot than the woman 189 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:17.120 who fights every single day written working people. 190 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.759 Out one of the books of bad Dreaming on Our. 191 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:25.360 Way Alive, the whole MOREOC, Please MOREO, where do we 192 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.879 send a check to get hurt every night? We want 193 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.960 her every night front and center at the DNCS. It's 194 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.279 remarkable how the Dems think all of this is going 195 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:39.080 to help them right in the swing states. Please more, AOC, 196 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.960 and I know you're in your car right now, you're 197 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.919 thinking of one hundred different counter arguments to her, and 198 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.279 you're right about all of that. But the beautiful thing 199 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.120 is you know that hard working man and woman right now. 200 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.559 Pick your state Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina. 201 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.759 They're thinking the same things you. 202 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.399 Are about how full of it she is, and talk 203 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.799 about true patriotism, sacrificing for this country. 204 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.480 Line in your pockets. 205 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.600 Obviously, that's what Joe Biden, Joe Biden's family has been 206 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.799 doing with his help. No, trust me, these voters in 207 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.759 the swing states, they're making all those same arguments in 208 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.679 their own heads. So yeah, more AOC. That is a 209 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.480 beautiful thing. Hey, text me Dan, daan five seven seven 210 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.919 three nine. You can call eight five five four zero 211 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.200 five eight two five five the number. 212 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.559 Let's see Ryan. I see a text Dan. 213 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.039 Apparently the Obamas are at day two of the DNC 214 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.639 and at least one of them will be speaking. Yesterday 215 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.559 you said they were not going to be at it. 216 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.879 I'm confused. Thank you Texter for texting. What he Doi 217 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.720 was talking about yesterday was the reporting that Obamas are 218 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.120 not going to be at Kamala Harris's speech on Thursday, 219 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.360 and if that's true, that's really significant. No, of course, 220 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.080 the Obamas are speaking tonight, and they've always been scheduled too, 221 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.279 and that will help the Dems, right, because the reality is, 222 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.440 you know, Arack Obama is well regarded, including among some 223 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.120 swing voters in some swing states, and. 224 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.240 So that will help the Dems. 225 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.679 Michelle Obama same thing, very well regarded. In the end, 226 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.480 it's not going to be enough to overcome Kamala Harris 227 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.679 as the presidential candidate. 228 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.799 That's why Obama's opposed her. 229 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:26.559 Remember when Obama's were leading the effort to depose Biden, 230 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.120 the democratically elected nominee, they did not want Harris. They 231 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.360 came out right after Biden buckled and they said, yeah, 232 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.559 we're going to have an open process here. And then 233 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.799 Biden outmaneuvered the Obamas and he shoved Harris down their throats. 234 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.960 So they're stuck with her now. They're stuck with her now. 235 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.360 So as much as some swing state voters may like 236 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.320 Barack and Michelle Obama, they're not going to like Kamala 237 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.960 Harris at all. And that's what the Obamas know, and 238 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.320 that's why they were opposing her. Eight, five to five 239 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.120 was he a five A two five five five seven 240 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.159 seven three nine, Ryan, what did you make of Michelle 241 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.480 Obama's appearance last night? She appeared night one? 242 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.799 Well, you mean that she was there. I found her 243 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.240 attired to be interesting and trying to be kind. But 244 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:19.879 it was a very unique look. And I'm sure she'll be, 245 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.120 you know, at her level best tonight. But I'm not 246 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.799 sure what that was all about last night. 247 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:29.919 Yeah, No, it was. It was fascinating, fascinating. 248 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.279 I think that the Obamas will do what they need 249 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.559 to do tonight and they'll both be good and it 250 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.240 will be a plus, but it will not last. 251 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.759 It will not last. 252 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.720 And if the reports are true they're not going to 253 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.879 be there Thursday, that will be a positive. 254 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.440 That'll be a positive. Why obviously by well, because obviously. 255 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.080 They're not all in, right. If they were all in, 256 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.720 they'd be there Thursday, and maybe they will be. They'd 257 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.120 be up on the stage with her and listen. If 258 00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.759 they are there Thursday, that doesn't mean they're all in 259 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.000 the long term, because Thursday's sort of obligatory, right. I mean, 260 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:09.120 you were the driving force behind deposing the democratically elected 261 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.360 nominee for your party, and you would think that you 262 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.960 have an obligation to be front and center on Thursday 263 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.039 night on the stage with her at the end of 264 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.240 the speech, present in the audience during the speech, so 265 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.919 the cameras can cut to you looking adoringly at her. 266 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.080 And if you're not there on Thursday night, after you know, 267 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.840 clawing the torch out of Biden's hand and setting them 268 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.000 on fire with it, then there is a loud and 269 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.039 clear message. If they do show up, they were expected to. 270 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.840 You see it differently, I don't. 271 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.200 And this is the thing, you know, I was talking 272 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.960 about earlier on my program, which procedures the dan Caplis 273 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.120 pregame show as I call it. But done the thought 274 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.960 that they they almost want to create some kind of 275 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.200 separation distance between Barack Obama. 276 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.840 His speech tonight on a Tuesday night and. 277 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.720 Kamala Harris as to not have him overshadow her, because 278 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:57.960 I think what's going to happen tonight, dan is Barack 279 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.960 Obama is going to be his usual as you call him, 280 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.080 five tool players, self soaring rhetoric. Oh, that's what I 281 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.480 liked about Barack Obama. And by comparison, people are gonna 282 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.000 know they got the cheap knockoff version of him in 283 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.600 Kamala Harris, kind of the dollar store version, and she's 284 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.519 just not gonna compare. 285 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:14.320 Now that's a great point. 286 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:18.200 And again this goes back to the biggest political mistake 287 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.279 of our lifetime, her selecting walls because there's no danger 288 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.960 that anybody will want walls. 289 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.159 Instead of her. He's that bad. 290 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.840 So now you get walls on Wednesday night. You're right, 291 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.120 you're separating the Bidens. You're separating the Obamas by a 292 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.960 couple of nights. You threw Biden under the bus again 293 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.519 by putting them late on a Monday night. And I'll 294 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.840 get to some Jake Tappers sound on that. But now, yeah, 295 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.639 and then what are you gonna have Wednesday night? Oh 296 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.559 my lord, Wednesday night, you're gonna have walls, and then 297 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.360 you're gonna. 298 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.039 Have Bill Clinton. So Hillary Clinton, you know. 299 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.320 Who is still liked and respected among some people in 300 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.720 swing states. You know, Hillary Clinton, you shove off on 301 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.600 Monday night, and then you're gonna haul out perverted old Bill, 302 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.799 you know, drag him off Epstein Island for Wednesday night. 303 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.759 Oh yeah, that is not Waltz and Bill Clinton not 304 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.120 a tough act for Kamala Harris to follow on Thursday. 305 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.600 Yeah, Bill Clinton, unlike Barack Obama, Dan, he's a far 306 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.320 crime from what he was during his heyday in the nineties. 307 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.440 And oh my lord, a lot of that is age 308 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.080 related and I'll get older. But to your point, I 309 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.879 just don't think I'm exposed. Yes, and he well, pardon 310 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.840 the pun, but he doesn't resonate the same way that 311 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:29.399 he did when you and I were watching him in 312 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.320 the nineties and you know, you were in awe of 313 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:35.519 his political skills. He really is not the same as 314 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:35.840 he was. 315 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.200 Yeah, and a lot of folks can't remember that. And 316 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.799 I get why life is fast and some people may 317 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.559 be too young. But Bill Clinton, in his prime, you know, 318 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.399 he was a. 319 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.399 Five tool player. 320 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.279 Again, he was kind of hollow Morley and had a 321 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.759 lot of bad ideas, but he was uber talented. It's 322 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.559 hard to even picture that now compared to what he 323 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.039 has become today. What I will never get out of 324 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.639 my mind, Ryan, is when he was in his prime 325 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.480 and the motor Kaide was coming down Bellevue and we 326 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.960 were newlyweds, and we were out on the street, Amy 327 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.200 and me. 328 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.400 It was a summer day. She's in short shorts. 329 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.880 We've got the dog and the motor kids coming down 330 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.319 Bellevue and Bill Clinton gets a look at Amy and 331 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.200 he literally turns around in his seat and the presidential 332 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.000 limo staring at her, and I just thought, A, it's 333 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.920 a compliment, but b there's there's something really wrong here, 334 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.359 you know. 335 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:25.640 What I mean? 336 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.799 Sounds like a Phil hartnupscotch from Saturday Live. 337 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.559 Oh man, it was, it was so real. It was 338 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.480 just it's a memory, that's all I can say. Hey, 339 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.119 when we come back, I do want to get to 340 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.960 that hot sound from last night, and including even some 341 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.960 of these lefty commentators acknowledging the humiliation of Biden last night. 342 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.279 I mean when did he come on? He came after 343 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.319 Friends reruns at two am, right, I mean they started 344 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.599 him really late Eastern. Yeah, And we'll have some of 345 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.200 that sound from last night, and then i'd love you 346 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.240 thinking about my premise for today, which you will hear 347 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:00.839 nowhere else, even though. 348 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.000 I think it's undeniable. 349 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:08.599 The Democrat elite are much more afraid of Harris winning 350 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.039 than of Harris losing. Eight five for zero five A 351 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.079 two five five text D an five seven seven three nine. 352 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.640 You're on the Dan Capitliss show. 353 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.200 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 354 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.920 There are going to be a lot of people who 355 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.759 think Joe Biden kind of got the fuzzy end of 356 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.599 the lollipop tonight, just because the event went so late 357 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:40.079 that his speech did not even start until out eleven 358 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:46.880 thirty PM's time. And that is also a microcosm. 359 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:50.440 If they were trying to prevent that impression, they failed tonight. 360 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.480 I mean, they should have to be honest, given him 361 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.640 time earlier in the night. They should have kept the 362 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.480 schedule a little bit tighter, but they didn't. 363 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.319 There's one I'm sorry. 364 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.559 The only thing I was going to say was I 365 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.359 do feel like Biden, obviously understanding the context of all 366 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.200 of this, he gave a really forceful speech, I mean 367 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.920 maybe too forced to at certain points, speaking to this 368 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.119 room at the top of his voice for almost fifty minutes, 369 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.640 maybe to prove something that he still has very very 370 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.160 late at night. 371 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:28.279 Yeah wow, and listen, they put him late, they buried him. 372 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.240 It was another humiliation. 373 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.319 And you think that he and Jill and Hunter didn't 374 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:35.319 notice that, of course they did. 375 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.240 So one thing I. 376 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:39.160 Want to hear from you is is what are the 377 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.440 different ways that Joe and Jill Biden now are going 378 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.440 to try to make sure that Kamala Harris loses, because 379 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.799 you know they are going to do that. What he 380 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.279 did last night, he didn't do for her, He did 381 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.319 for himself, because if he didn't do it, then at 382 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.359 that point he'd get blamed for the loss, he'd come 383 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.160 under fire. But what do you think Biden's going to 384 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.240 be doing now in terms of leaks? What do you 385 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.400 think he and Joe Biden are going to be doing 386 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.000 to try to undermine Harris, Because you can be sure 387 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.920 it's a lot. Even if they had treated him with 388 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.519 some dignity in this convention, which would have required probably 389 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:21.119 a Wednesday night speaking slot at the very worst, but 390 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.480 instead they go out of their way to humiliate him 391 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.240 this way. Yeah, He's going to be looking for lots 392 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.720 of different ways to make sure she loses. Of course, 393 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.119 the ultimate is forcing her on the Democratic Party, on Obama, 394 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.240 on everybody who deposed him, because at that point the 395 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.279 Democrats had their lowest, smallest chance of winning. Anybody else 396 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.160 in that top tier would have had a better chance 397 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.240 of winning than her. So that was Biden's step one 398 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.640 to make sure the people who did this to him, 399 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.200 you know, lose, they fail, So he can sit there 400 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.319 after election day and say I would have won right 401 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.440
