Listen to “The Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris” on Spreaker.
DNC Walz vs. The Real Walz, The Dems’ Freedom Fiction, What Bad Jobs Report?
Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the third night of the Democratic National Convention and more. They comment on Bill Clinton’s decline, the fictional Tim Walz highlighted at the DNC vs. the one with a real & disturbing record as governor, the Dems projecting the fantasy that they are the party of freedom, and Biden’s commerce secretary giving a bizarre reaction to a lousy jobs report.
First, after commenting on Clinton’s speech that was underwhelming and way too long, they dissect the “strikingly shameless” portrayal of Tim Walz as an everyman and good neighbor instead of the far left politician who coddled rioters, threatened anyone reluctant to take a Covid vaccine, added a Covid snitch line, and has had a cozy relationship with China for decades.
Next, they shake their heads as Democrat after Democrat pretended that they are the party of freedom and that Republicans are the party of federal intrusion into our lives. And yet, there’s only a couple of “freedoms” that they really care about and got repeated over and over Wednesday night.
Finally, they laugh as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accuses Donald Trump of issuing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing the government overestimated the number of jobs created over the past year by 818,000. When confronted with the truth, Raimondo claimed she was not aware of the report.
Obamas at the DNC, Kamala’s Tax Plan Nightmare, RFK Jr. to Endorse Trump?
Listen to “Obamas at the DNC, Kamala’s Tax Plan Nightmare, RFK Jr. to Endorse Trump?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they assess speeches from Barack and Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Committee, recoil at Kamala’s proposed tax hikes and current job revisions, and speculate on the impact of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. possibly ending his independent bid for president and endorsing Donald Trump.
First, after lamenting that the Democrats temporarily took down the Bulls and Blackhawks championship banners, they react to Tuesday night’s convention speeches from the Obamas. While they readily admit that both of them are very skilled at speaking and motivating their party’s base, they also highlight how the former president is always right in the middle of the political mudslinging while pretending to stay above the fray. And they notice some very telling signs about what the Obamas really think of the Bidens.
Next, they shudder as Kamala Harris endorses a long list of new taxes, including major hikes in the corporate and capital gains tax rate – and even a big tax on “unrecognized” capital gains, meaning people would be taxed on money they haven’t even made yet. They also cringe at revised job numbers from the Labor Department showing 818,000 fewer jobs were actually created in the past year than previously reported.
Finally, after RFK, Jr.’s running mate says there’s a chance Kennedy will drop out and endorse Trump, Jim and Greg consider whether they think that will happen and whether such an event would have a major effect on the 2024 presidential race.
Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit
Listen to “Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit” on Spreaker.
Jim is back today, joining the podcast from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Today, Jim and Greg dissect Biden’s angry & often false speech, the Democrats running way behind schedule at the convention, & Jill Biden and Nancy Pelosi offering very different explanations for why Biden abandoned his re-election bid.
First, they break down Biden’s long, loud speech that was full of debunked accusations and major distortions about his record. From his performance on border security to COVID & schools to job creation, Biden played fast & loose with the truth and, of course, had more than a few moments of mangling his words.
Next, they’re stunned at how badly run the first night of the DNC was. Jim explains what a hassle it was for media and delegates to get into the arena. And then, Democrats scheduled a bunch of barely known figures to speak past the prime time window. Did Democrats intentionally shove Joe to a time the viewership would be dwindling?
Finally, they get a kick out of the very different explanations given last night for why Biden dropped his re-election bid, with First Lady Jill Biden stating that Joe made the decision after looking “deep into his soul” and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she “did what I had to do” but insisting that Joe made his own decision.
Dems Retreat from Price Controls, Free Abortions at the DNC, Dems Want No Specifics from Kamala
Kamala & Price Controls, Trump & the Medal of Honor, Clueless Biden Corrected Again
Join Jim and Greg as they take the current president and both major party nominees to task today. They unload on Kamala’s proposed government intrusion into the economy, Trump’s cavalier comparison involving the Medal of Honor, and Biden’s staff having to explain yet again that what Biden said isn’t administration policy.
First, they review more specifics from Vice President Harris’s economic plan to reduce the cost of food, housing and more. They explain that the money she wants to give first-time homebuyers will only drive up prices – due to the infusion of money and higher demand. And they tee off on her plans to tell companies how much they are allowed to charge. And one of Jim’s fellow Washington Post columnists – who is not on the political right – pulls no punches on condemning the agenda.
Next, they address Donald Trump honoring donor Miriam Adelson by reflecting on the time he awarded her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In doing so, he compared that award with the Medal of Honor and remarked that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is “actually much better” because the Medal of Honor recipients are “either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead” and Mrs. Adelson is “a healthy, beautiful woman.”
Finally, they rip the listless, lame duck presidency of Joe Biden, who once again wandered off script with the media – this time on Venezuela. And his national security staff once had to come out and tell us to ignore what the president just said.

Kamala’s Economic Gaslighting, Walz’s Drunk Driving Episode, Another Secret Service Blunder
Join Jim and Greg as they still struggle to locate a good martini. Instead, they highlight how Kamala Harris is trying to gaslight Americans about why everything costs so much, the details surrounding Tim Walz’s drunk driving arrest back in the ’90s, and a Secret Service agent found missing from her post just moments before Trump’s arrival at a rally in North Carolina.
First, they note Vice President Harris, just like President Biden, is blaming high prices on greedy, gouging companies instead of their reckless spending and other inflationary policies. They give Harris a quick review of why costs skyrocketed in the first couple years of the Biden-Harris administration and why demonizing corporate America is not going to help at all.
Next, they dig into the details of Tim Walz’s 1995 drunk driving arrest for going 96 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. In addition to documenting that Walz lied about it as recently as his 2006 congressional campaign. Jim also points to the final days of the 2000 presidential election to prove that drunk driving arrests can cause serious problems many years later.
Finally, they groan as a Secret Service agent was discovered to be away from her post without permission just minutes before Donald Trump arrived for a rally because she was breastfeeding her baby. While they love kids, Jim and Greg don’t think bringing kids to your protective detail is a very good idea. And they are stunned that anyone in the Secret Service would be cutting any corners right now.

Harris’s Fake Headlines, Kamala’s Political Reinvention, Hunter Biden Evidence Emerges
Join Jim and Greg as they offer no good martinis but a whole tray of crazy ones. Today, they react to media reports that Kamala’s campaign is doctoring media headlines in online ads, Harris trying to politically reinvent herself as the change candidate in 2024, and the media realizing it’s now OK to admit Hunter Biden was up to his eyeballs in shady foreign deals due to his name and access to his dad.
First, they fume at an Axios story explaining that the Harris campaign created fake headlines under the banner of real media outlets like Reuters, USA Today, and CBS News. The reporter who broke the story then immediately tried to downplay it and the media entities involved hardly seem to care.
Next, they roll their eyes at another Axios report explaining how Kamala Harris is jettisoning some of her most far left positions and distancing herself from Joe Biden as part of her sprint to November. She’s even trying to position herself as the “change candidate” after four years in the current administration. And why? Because Americans overwhelmingly don’t like the direction our country is headed.
Finally, they note multiple headlines noting that Special Counsel David Weiss and the State Department’s own records reveal evidence of Hunter Biden influence peddling overseas – in one case he was paid to directly lobby for Romania while Joe Biden was vice president. Jim wants to know where to go for his award on being right about this story, President Biden’s decline, and so many other stories initially branded as misinformation…until they could no longer be denied.

Dem Narrative vs. Facts, Media is a Laughingstock, The Grift Goes On
Listen to “Dem Debate Narrative vs. Facts, Media is a Laughingstock, The Grift Goes On” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Fox News anchor Bret Baier for easily blowing up the Democrats’ ridiculous narrative about debates, enjoy watching a studio audience laugh at the idea of CNN being objective but highlight the disturbing truth beneath it, and they document the ongoing hall-of-fame level grift perpetrated by the Lincoln Project.
First, they react to Bret Baier immediately shredding the weak argument from New York Rep, Dan Goldman that Donald Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris – and pointing out that Harris is the one refusing to commit to debates right now.
Next, they get a kick out of the audience at “The Late Show” getting a good laugh out Stephen Colbert suggesting that CNN is “objective” and just “report the news as it is” – in front of a CNN anchor. Jim and Greg break down how just the few weeks are ample proof of how most media are purely activists these days, how politics have ruined late night TV and more.
Finally, they reflect on the latest financial statement from the #NeverConservatives at The Lincoln Project, showing it spends more than 90 percent of its money on “overhead” and a lot of that money just ends up in separate “media” entities run by current Lincoln project figures and their allies. And all donors ever get for their money is amateurish videos that have no impact on any elections.

Virginia & the Voter Rolls, Kamala’s Dodging & A Compliant Media, Walz & His Mom
Jim Geraghty is back after a much-deserved vacation and weathering the remnants of Hurricane Debby. Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and his team for their due diligence in preparing for the elections, scold the AP and other media for allowing Kamala Harris to dodge serious questions for three weeks and counting, and slamming Tim Walz for forcing his own 87-year-old mom to isolate after heart surgery during Covid.
First, they applaud Virginia for doing what Jim calls the “basic blocking and tacking of government” and making sure the commonwealth’s voter rolls are up to date. In doing so, officials found 80,000 dead people still eligible to vote along with more than 6,300 non-citizens. This shouldn’t be that hard to update. So why isn’t every state doing it?
Next, they shake their heads as the media are still pandering to Kamala Harris and only offering the softest criticism for her refusal to take serious questions for more than three weeks since President Biden ended his campaign. Even worse, media outlets like the Associated Press are running stories downplaying the importance of candidates engaging in sit-down interviews.
Finally, they shudder at video from the pandemic in which Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he made his 87-year-old mother live alone right after heart surgery because he feared negative headlines if his mom came to live with him. So instead of amending his own draconian stay-at-home orders to help his mom and to allow anyone to care for a loved one who needed assistance, he decided enforcing the shutdown orders were more important.
