Three h three seven 8 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.839 one three eight two five five seven to one three talk. 9 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.600 Just trying to put up my latest column onto Facebook. 10 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.200 And it wouldn't. It wouldn't do it. 11 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.200 Why because it says the Government of Canada does not 12 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.960 allow news stories on Facebook. 13 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.159 That's what it said. 14 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.119 I'm I'm assuming, I'm assuming something's gone a little haywire 15 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:51.840 with Facebook. 16 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.640 Now wait a minute, John, let's do some math adding 17 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.000 up from yesterday. You've took a flight back from Montreal. 18 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.719 Are you still logged into like a Canadian IP or something. 19 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.040 That's what I thought, But I don't think so, how 20 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.319 could I be? I don't know, Todd, Yeah, that's what 21 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:18.760 I was thinking. I guess I could, uh eh eh, yeah. 22 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.120 I don't get it. I don't understand nothing anymore. Three 23 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.920 h three seven one three eight two five five. I'll 24 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.840 figure it out later. I do miss a lot of 25 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.560 the analog days, you know, those those gorgeous days when 26 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.040 when the Type A wouldn't work and you knew why. 27 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.280 All right, So I still haven't had anyone call me 28 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.799 on this one. I'm gonna throw it out one more 29 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.439 time and then we can get rid of it. According 30 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.959 to the bylaws for the Colorado Republican Party, as I 31 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.040 understand them, if enough people in the Central Committee call 32 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.439 for a special meeting of the Central Committee, then. 33 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.680 Then you just have it. And they've called for one. 34 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.960 It's going to be this Saturday in Brighton at a 35 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.759 church with a couple of agenda items. One is to 36 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:25.039 remove the party chairman, Dave Williams. And should he be removed? 37 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.240 And who will take his place? So a couple questions 38 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.280 I need some help. One, how would you vote on this? Two? 39 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.680 If Dave Williams is voted out, but as he says, 40 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:46.400 this is a fraudulent meeting, he doesn't recognize the meeting, 41 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.560 then what are you supposed to do? Is there a lawsuit? 42 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.960 Who who figures it all out? 43 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.000 Three or three seven? One three eight two five five 44 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:07.639 seven to one three? Tuck? And what happens after that? 45 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.960 What happens after that? 46 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.280 I don't know. I honestly don't know. Now the Republican 47 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.159 primaries are over. The Colaudo Secretary of State has said 48 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.960 who the winners and losers are of those primaries, and 49 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.039 they will be the winners will go on to the general. 50 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.840 There you have that, So the Party is not needed 51 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.479 for that anymore. That job has been done. The question 52 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:49.400 is will the party be able to help any Republicans? 53 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.840 And so you've got other conservative groups trying to raise 54 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.240 money for Republican candidates. Lincoln Club of Denver, for instance, 55 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.479 great organization, and I know that, but they've got a 56 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.439 small donor committee and they fundraise and they choose their 57 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.280 own candidates and give money to those. Both the Republican 58 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.560 House here in Colorado and the Republican Senate in Colorado 59 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.360 have what they call their victory funds. People pour a 60 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.639 lot of money into those. Almost no money is going 61 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.040 into the party. Let's get to some of these phone calls. 62 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.399 Three oh three seven, one, three eight, two five five 63 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.600 Out to Denver we go, Michael, glad to have you. 64 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.199 You're with John Caldera. 65 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.079 John, good afternoon. I wanted to call in so that 66 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.519 you didn't feel quite so lonely. 67 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.560 Thank you. It is a sad, terrible thing. 68 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.240 You do have a great radio show on Saturday mornings, 69 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.319 and I urge people to listen to it. If they don't, Uh, 70 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.839 And I don't care if you're not, I don't care 71 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.560 if you're all that doesn't make any difference to me. 72 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.160 So what I am calling you about? 73 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.560 You have no empathy? You have no empathy? 74 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:03.920 Well I'm I'm a Republican. So I I want to 75 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.560 spend thirty seconds if I can, on Kamala Harris. Hopefully, 76 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.240 and I'm fairly confident that he will. The Trump campaign 77 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.279 will start bringing out some of the things that people 78 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.879 absolutely do not know or understand about Kamala Harris. This 79 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:27.560 is a woman of the far far, far left, and 80 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.240 she's been able to disguise that in the vice presidency 81 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.360 because she's had to do nothing. 82 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.519 Yeah, it is a functory role for the most part. 83 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.079 Yeah, exactly. 84 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.199 So once people understand that she is from San Francisco, 85 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.560 she was the mistress of Willie Brown, who was almost 86 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.000 a communist, certainly close to one, and that a lot 87 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.480 of her friends and relatives and acquaintances are all extreme leftists. 88 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.240 I just don't believe that people will vote for now 89 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.240 anybody but Trump. That is a problem, that is a 90 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.199 real problem in this country, and I'm not quite sure 91 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.319 how we can get around it. I agree. I think 92 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.079 it was you that said Trump could have won this election. 93 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.920 Thursday night, when he gave his acceptance speech at the 94 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.720 Republican Convention, I was there. I was a delegate from 95 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.120 Colorado for Trump. I believe me, for the four days 96 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.600 that we were there, watching this convention in person was 97 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.959 the most unbelievable experience of my life. I can tell 98 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.920 you that. But Trump had it completely sewn up. Everybody 99 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.160 that got on that podium to speak regular everyday people 100 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.879 who talked about him personally, what kind of a generous 101 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.920 human being he is, and the gold Star families that 102 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.399 he spent hours with, knew their children, knew their names, 103 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.800 knew what they their goals were, all of that parents 104 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:01.399 of hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas. It was 105 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.000 wonderful stuffs. And the first part of his speech, when 106 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.680 he talked about what it felt like being almost assassinated, 107 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.560 was heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. And then we got into the 108 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.120 old Trump. And for me, I like the old Trump, 109 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.920 but a lot of people don't, and he's going to 110 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.639 have to figure out a way to get those people 111 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:27.240 to come to his side, because we cannot have Kamala Harris, 112 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.439 we cannot. 113 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.120 Have let me. Let me put this out. 114 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.920 And I said it last yesterday on the air, and 115 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.439 people seem to be really hacked off by it. And 116 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.600 it's pretty simple. Trump didn't deliver on that speech, and 117 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:47.279 he made a mistake. He gave into his usual tendencies 118 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.639 to name call and to meander like Castro giving a 119 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:56.439 speech instead of being disciplined and understanding, he's not talking 120 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.319 to you, Michael, because you're going to vote for him. 121 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.399 You've already on him. He needs to. 122 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.079 Talk to the people who might vote for him, or 123 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.439 they are in the possibility the then diagram that perhaps 124 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.759 perhaps they could vote for him. And he didn't do that, 125 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.519 And if he did, I think this thing would have 126 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.600 been sewn. 127 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:23.639 Up had he spoke the way he had been talking 128 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.120 before the assassination attempt and even after it, because when 129 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.399 he came into that auditorium on Monday, the. 130 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:38.879 First night of the convention, he looked tired and worn out, 131 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.679 and he certainly looked like a man that had, you know, 132 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.960 come to face the face kind of with the with 133 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.919 the end of his life. That should change someone, and 134 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.960 it did, and a lot of stuff that he was 135 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.039 talking about, at least in the news, he seemed to 136 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.080 be soft, softer. But I'll tell you, that's a tough 137 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.360 crowd there. That is a tough crowd in Milwaukee. And 138 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.440 we wanted to hear some red meat and we got it. 139 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.600 Unfortunately, how sad that you got what you wanted because 140 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.080 he has your vote, he has your vote, he needs 141 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:20.120 somebody else's vote, and they should have they should have. 142 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.919 He should have gone for that. I don't know. 143 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.279 I disagree with you, I don't disagree. Here's the only 144 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.759 thing I can say. This guy has gone through a lot, 145 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.399 and many people, including myself, have said, you know, if 146 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.360 you just get rid of those darn tweets or that 147 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.919 to do this, do that, this. He's still on his 148 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.159 seat through all of this. He is up against a 149 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.159 tough opponent in this woman, I can promise you. And 150 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.919 what the Democrats have done to Joe Biden is an 151 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.279 absolute disgrace and it's disgusting. And if I hear a 152 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.120 Democrats say to me, we're democracy, I'm afraid I'm gonna 153 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:08.000 have to use some pretty bad words. It said a 154 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.559 complete and absolute joke. This was a coup. They kicked 155 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.559 the guy out. You heard that in his speech last night, 156 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.960 when he wouldn't tell any of us what happened. 157 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.799 Oh yeah, we haven't even talked about that speech. What 158 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.200 a nothing burger of a speech. You didn't explain in 159 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.279 the slightest why you're getting out of this race. 160 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.159 All he did was talk about all of his accomplishments 161 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.559 and why he could have won. Okay, well, then I'll 162 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:40.240 tell you why, because Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and 163 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.440 Chuck Schumer has said to him, you're out. 164 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.679 Yeah, he was stabbed. 165 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.360 It was It was a political assassination. It was killing Caesar. 166 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.440 I gotta run. Thanks for the call, great stuff. 167 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.159 Three oh three seven one three eight two five five 168 00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.960 seven one three talk. Did you get any from the 169 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:07.120 man from the speech last night? Why he's leaving now? 170 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.519 He couldn't say, because my health is not good, because 171 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.519 then you hate to have to answer the question why 172 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.159 am I sticking around to the end of the year. 173 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:20.000 He he didn't say, well, well, because I'm just not 174 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.639 as sharp as He couldn't say that, and he couldn't 175 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.600 say the truth, which is there is no path for 176 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.840 victory for me. There might be a path for her, 177 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.840 So I'm stepping aside. That would have been fine, but 178 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.519 he wouldn't even do that.

Let's go 196 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.000 to the phones. It's got to centennial. Hey Dan, so glad. 197 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.080 To have you. 198 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.440 Hey, John, I've got a couple of comments to make 199 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.919 here on this. So when they when they meeting the 200 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.600 shadow government, they meeting Pelosi and Obama and all the 201 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.759 other people running the government. But they figured out that 202 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:53.639 one Biden didn't have the smarts to con everybody and win. 203 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.879 And then when they saw the money drying up and 204 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.399 the donors pulling the money from the demer Party, that's 205 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.039 when they got together with Biden and strong armed him 206 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.480 out of there, and they put Kamala in there so 207 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.879 they can start raising money again. The all plan to 208 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.799 get rid of Biden was that they couldn't if they 209 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:17.399 couldn't manipulate the election with all of their processes they do. 210 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.159 He can't cover up, he can't cover up all the 211 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.519 games anymore. That the secrets are gonna come out. The 212 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.759 Obama wanted him out of the way. And what will 213 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.279 happen is is that the very last like maybe Octold 214 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:36.919 non now, maybe October Harris is gonna gonna do the 215 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.159 twenty fifth Amendment so that it all goes down right 216 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.559 at the end. And they already know she can't win either, 217 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.440 so they're already planning for how to get all of 218 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.320 this out of the way when when Trump wins, and 219 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.480 they think they're gonna claim Biden's a lean to and 220 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.799 you can't remember. 221 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.840 Nothing, So hold up the second here, Dan let me 222 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.759 see if I'm if I'm getting your nostrodrama's prediction right. 223 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:09.399 You you think that before the election, Kamala Harris is 224 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.600 going to use the twenty fifth Amendment to seize the presidency? 225 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.399 Is that correct? 226 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.639 That is correct? 227 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.600 I'd be happy to put up some money against that one. 228 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.759 I think there is absolutely no shot of that happening. 229 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.600 I think she's gonna do it and is cheated in 230 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.679 there right now so they can keep raving money. 231 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.600 And why would she do this? What? What? What is 232 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.759 her what is her. 233 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:40.200 Hope keep a part of that private group where Obama 234 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.519 and Nancy and Jeff. 235 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.039 Okay, assuming she is, assuming she is, what does she 236 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.639 gain by that? 237 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.039 Spell it out for me? What lots of money for? What? 238 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:55.200 Help me? 239 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.159 Talk to me like I'm eight years old. 240 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:03.120 Explain it to me that the motivation for her to 241 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.960 use a twenty fifth amendment sees the presidency. 242 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.240 On the eve of the election is what exactly? 243 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:18.919 Talk down to me, okay, because they mean the democratic 244 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.120 power control of the already. No, she's not gonna win. 245 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:28.000 She can't win. It's impossible. She can't even get two votes. Well, 246 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:32.039 I'm dad ready, but hardly any votes in the initial primary. 247 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.360 They just want to make all the DNC money now, 248 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.480 and we know her, you just play the roles be 249 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.480 the president at the very last, we're gonna we're gonna 250 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.240 take Biden now and be crazy. You won't win, and 251 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.559 then you're gonna write books and do speeches and travel 252 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.600 around and we're gonna make your life nice. 253 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.279 I still don't understand this in the slightest. Let me 254 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.320 let me see if I if I'm understanding what you're 255 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.720 telling me that somehow they're gonna raise more money with 256 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.279 with Harris then with Biden. 257 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.039 Okay, I can go for that far. 258 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:10.879 But then why do why make her president for for 259 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.600 two months? 260 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.120 Three months? Why? 261 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.480 What benefit is that? So the DNC gets their money. 262 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.159 Are you suggesting that they're not gonna spend any of 263 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.799 it if she becomes president for three months. 264 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.840 They'll spend it, but they will help me out. 265 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:34.360 What is the motivation for for this move, either from 266 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.919 either from Kamala's point of view or from the rich 267 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.200 guys that you think are pulling pulling the strings. 268 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.399 What is the motivation? And don't just say money? Be specific? 269 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.240 Are they gonna get okay? 270 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:53.159 Ye, so the motivation is yeah, after Trump wins after 271 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.519 Trump wins. If you're gonna talk to me like that, 272 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:01.559 after Trump wins and he starts filing, they're gonna claim 273 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.480 that Biden is crazy and he had to be called 274 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.480 out of there in the twenty fifth Amendment and he 275 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.960 doesn't have any knowledge of anything. That is a big dodge. 276 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.119 I'm still not following my opinion. 277 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.240 Okay, So she's gonna she's gonna be able to get 278 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.599 three fourths. 279 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.920 She's gonna get three. 280 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:24.759 Fourths of the cabinet to agree that they need to 281 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.799 remove him from power, and by the way, that then 282 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.839 needs to be okayed by a congressional vote later. And 283 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:39.839 this is so it changes what it changes nothing. It 284 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.400 doesn't change how how much money they get, doesn't change 285 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:44.519 how much money they spend. 286 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.480 This one just doesn't work. Sorry. 287 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.960 Three oh three seven one three eight two five five 288 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:52.160 seven one three talk. 289 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.920 I'm John Kelderic keep it right here, six thirty K how. 290 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.160 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 291 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.920 John Caldera And for Dan, the number has always three 292 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:11.119 h three seven one three eight two five five. I'll 293 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.960 take it just a minute. On the terrible speech our 294 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.599 president gave us, yep, we we wanted to know why 295 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.200 he's not running for re election. Why it was that 296 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:29.160 five days ago, there was no chance that I'm going 297 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.200 to leave this race. He was sure fire, We're in 298 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.079 it to the end, and then all of a sudden 299 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.480 he's ready to pass it to a new generation. What 300 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.240 changed over those few days? Did did did he have 301 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:51.200 a health issue that sprung up? Did did he finally 302 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:59.839 recognize he he can't do the job? Did he realized 303 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.039 he was being pushed out of the race by all 304 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.279 of his friends in the Democratic Party and the media 305 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:13.279 because they knew he couldn't win against Donald Trump. If so, 306 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:19.400 why not say it in public? But he explained nothing, 307 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.400 absolutely nothing. He said this, and I said, the defense 308 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.680 of democracy, which is at stake, I think is more 309 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.559 important than any title. 310 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.000 What in the world does that mean? Does that mean you, 311 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:36.440 if you run. 312 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:44.440 For president, you're no longer defending democracy. He had an 313 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:50.000 opportunity to reassure us that for the next six months 314 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:56.119 he is up to the job of being president. He 315 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:01.680 had the opportunity to tell the world, don't take advantage 316 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.480 of us while I'm a lame duck, because the old man. 317 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:07.759 Still has some teeth. But he didn't do that. 318 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.880 He talked about all of his accomplishments, which of course 319 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.400 any politician does anytime. 320 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.240 They open up the refrigerator and a light turns on. 321 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.400 He he could have just said, this was a coup 322 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:29.440 by my power hungry Democratic friends. He could have said, 323 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.920 I've done the calculus. I doubt I can win, but 324 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.559 I know my young, smart, energetic VP can. 325 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:40.440 Ever be. 326 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:46.440 Could could he just say, you know, all the people 327 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.640 around me have gotten tired of hiding the truth about 328 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.559 my incredible decline from the voters, and so I can't 329 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.720 ask them to do it anymore. 330 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.160 Now. 331 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.200 He can't say those things, because if he did, the 332 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.240 follow up question is, well, then why don't you just 333 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:03.000 step down? 334 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.079 Our last caller seemed to believe. 335 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:10.599 That that Kamala is going to take his place using 336 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:18.200 the twenty fifth Amendment, because that's really important. It's possible 337 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.720 that a lot of the power brokers decided no, give 338 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.279 this opportunity to Kamala because we know she could lose. 339 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.319 And that clears the field for four years from now. 340 00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.400 But I don't think they think that way. 341 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.079 There you have it. 342 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.240 I only sneak down to Colorado Springs and say hello 343 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.200 to Matt. Matt welcome. You're with John Caldera. Glad to 344 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.279 have you, Matt, Hey. 345 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.240 John, thanks for taking my call. My pasture quick question, 346 00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.920 and my question is basically to ask you, could this ever, 347 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:54.519 in any scenario happen. And my scenario is could. 348 00:21:54.400 --> 00:22:01.039 Kamala goin forces with JFK Junior to bring in five 349 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:04.839 to six percent of the vote in the swing states 350 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:06.319 that he's listed on the ballot. 351 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.160 Absolutely, she could too much expense. 352 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.279 She could ask him to be a running mate. She 353 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.200 could make him a deal that if he endorsed her 354 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.680 and dropped out of the race, that he would be 355 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.640 in her cabinet. 356 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.640 I believe that's why Donald. 357 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.000 Trump was reaching out by that phone call that was 358 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.720 recorded by rfk's staff and then leaked. I think he 359 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.839 was trying to find a way to get RFK to 360 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.480 endorse him and and say something to the effective, join 361 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.119 my team and there's a spot for you. 362 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:44.640 So she could. 363 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.480 There's she'd have to go through the calculations on that. 364 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:53.440 Would RFK bring her one of those needed swing states 365 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.160 or some of those swing states. My sense is that 366 00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:59.880 Governor Shapiro would probably be a better choice if you 367 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.279 wanted Pennsylvania, which she desperately wants. 368 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:06.119 Sure, And I just didn't. 369 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.880 Know if jeff to not being on all ballots would 370 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.559 would make a difference. 371 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.279 You know, it doesn't matter at all if he's on 372 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.119 the right ballots, if he's on if he's on the 373 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.119 ballot on swing states, and she believes that he's going 374 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.519 to pull votes from her, Yeah, that's a good point, 375 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.119 to be honest. I am not certain who he pulls 376 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:37.240 votes from. I really don't know. And and also he's crazy. 377 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.079 The guy. The guy's just nut back crazy. You know. 378 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:46.480 While Kamala is just evil, she is a hardcore progressive 379 00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.799 activist who will use the tools of government to shape 380 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.640 the world she wants in the command and control style. 381 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.039 RFK is just weird. And I don't I. 382 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:06.799 Don't see any I don't see any consistent policy formula 383 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:07.279 from him. 384 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.759 There's nothing that right. 385 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.880 It's it's like I've this way on that and I'm 386 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.799 that way on this, and it's just well because and 387 00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.519 it's like so many friends, probably you and I have 388 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:24.799 that they emote their ideas and they they want this 389 00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.640 and that, but they haven't thought why they haven't thought 390 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.480 if these things actually are connected in any sort of cohesive, 391 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:38.759 universal political philosophy. My political philosophy grows from a simple 392 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.640 belief that individuals to themselves are sovereign. 393 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.000 They are a nation unto themselves, and from all from 394 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:47.480 that everything else grows. 395 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:53.079 But other people, I wonder Americans have lost the ability 396 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.160 to think that way in general. 397 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.799 I think I think so. 398 00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:06.759 I think those people who command the heights of culture, media, entertainment, education, 399 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.720 I have for the last seventy years, I've decided to 400 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:17.039 teach away from individuals to our collective and to say 401 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:20.119
