Strength. Resilience. Determination. Donald Trump showed remarkable resolve under the most dire of circumstances as a would-be assassin's bullet graced the top of his right ear and sent him down to his knees - only to arise with his fist raised defiantly, shouting 'Fight!' to the assembled rally-goers in Butler, Pennsylvania. This iconic image will live on in American history, and it may have sealed an election victory for Trump in 2024.

Donald Trump narrowly escapes an assassin's bullet on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania - only to emerge an American folk hero like President Theodore Roosevelt, pumping his fist defiantly to the assembled crowd of supporters. Was there divine intervention at play? Was a guardian angel somehow watching over him? Dan explains why he believes so.

Dan and Ryan share their nominees for who Donald Trump SHOULD pick as his running mate, and predictions on who the former President WILL select and why.Dan spells out exactly how and why Joe Biden will resign himself to dropping out of the 2024 race.

Dick Wadhams, former Colorado GOP chair joins Dan to discuss his take on Governor Jared Polis attempting to enter the national political fray if Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 race.Joe shows some vigor at a campaign event in Detroit, and vows to stay in the race no matter what.

Dan and Ryan present the remainder of President Biden's 'big boy press conference' without commercial interruption and with occasional commentary.

Over an hour late, President Biden finally takes the podium for his 'big boy press conference' following the NATO summit where he misidentified Volodomyr Zelenskyy as Vladimir Putin. Dan and Ryan react in real time, as a pre-approved list of reporters is called upon to start things off.

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

In a stunning plot twist, the normally placid Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) is outed by CNN as saying Biden can't defeat Trump in a private meeting. He then comes clean to Kaitlan Collins on the network to admit his honest thoughts about the current President's chances against the former President.Despite these warning signs, Ryan is dug in as believing Biden will weather the storm - much to the incredulous amusement of Dan.

Dan has never written a parody song before... until now. 'Hang On Joey' is destined to climb the charts as a 'tribute' to President Joe Biden and encouraging him to stay in the race as long as possible. 

Democrats on Capitol Hill emerge from private meetings singing out of the same hymnal on Joe Biden as their candidate for President in 2024, but Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) claims they're not in the same book - let alone on the same page - when it comes to the incumbent commander-in-chief staying in the race. Dan offers his thoughts on this theater and insists Joe is not long for the campaign.

Heidi Ganahl, Rocky Mountain Voice joins Dan to discuss a bizarre post on X by her former opponent in the 2022 governor's race, as Jared Polis denigrates those on the platform and says his intelligent friends with high IQs really don't use X very much.Also, Democrats gather on Capitol Hill to show support for President Joe Biden's faltering 2024 campaign - but Dan isn't buying it.

Dan and Ryan continue to disagree on the manner, and whether, Joe Biden will depart the 2024 campaign and wonder aloud what that process might look like ahead of the August convention for the DNC in Chicago. Why did John Kirby and Karine Jean-Pierre refer to a 'big boy press conference' later this week for President Biden?

Dan explains the painful 11 days President Biden has had while trying to pick up the pieces of his campaign following his horrific debate performance, and why his handlers and staff are having a harder and harder time explaining things away - like whether a specialist visited the President several times to check on possible symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. It's only a matter of time before Joe drops out of the race, Dan's just counting the days.

As Ryan tries to celebrate America through the majesty of song, Jon Caldara takes issue with one of his selections. What is the greatest musical tribute to the United States to enjoy on Independence Day? 

Jon Caldara fills in for Dan and details his harrowing encounter with a widow-maker heart attack, and thanks the medical professionals who helped save his life.Also, he floats the idea of a Harris-Polis ticket to replace Joe Biden. Is the Colorado governor up to the task and game for the fight?

Jake Tapper, who moderated last Thursday's Presidential debate for CNN, calls out Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) - one of Joe Biden's closest advisers and friends in Congress - for trying to chalk up the President's poor debate performance as 'one bad night.'Other Dems seem to be circling like vultures, rather than circling the wagons. What will be the final straw that forces Biden out of the 2024 race?

On his final episode before celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary with Aimee, Dan has had an ephiphany on Hunter Biden - the President's son runs the White House now, because he's the one person who can bring Joe's house of cards tumbling down with corruption revelations.Dan explains why Joe must now do Hunter's bidding, and perhaps stay in the race as a result, or suffer the consequences of payback from his direlict son who served as the family bag man overseas.Ryan brings up one possible scenario - Donald Trump offering to pardon Hunter Biden in an unexpected magnanmous gesture to rebuff the media narrative that he's running to win for retribution against his political enemies.

A caller raises concerns about the potent, viable threat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) poses as the potential Democrat nominee for President from the swing state of Michigan. Dan echoes these concerns and views her as formidable, whereas Michigan native Ryan believes scratching just past the surface reveals a very flawed candidate who's not ready for primetime and the bright lights of the biggest stage in American politics.Gabe Evans, Republican candidate for Colorado's 8th Congressional District, outlines his general election race against incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D, CO-8) and what he believes are the keys to victory.President Biden delivers live remarks from the White House chastising another Supreme Court ruling he doesn't like, and Dan can only tolerate so much of the 4-minute address without questions from the press.

Dan sings the praises of the U.S. Supreme Court after their ruling on Presidential immunity in Trump v. United States in the wake of special counsel Jack Smith's politically motivated January 6th prosecution of the former President. In a 6-3 decision, three tiers of Presidential actions are delineated - core Constitutional powers, official actions of the office, and unofficial acts as a private citizen unrelated to the Oval Office. Dan evaluates what this means for Trump, and if it might help hasten the exit for Biden from the race - with virtually all remaining lawfare now off the table before the election.

Dan is asked by Ryan if First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is evil for knowingly putting her husband through a re-election campaign in an obviously diminished state of cognitive decline.It's only a matter of time, in Dan's view, before Joe Biden is replaced at the top of the ticket, the question is who replaces him and has the best chance to win in November.
