Chad Benson and Jim Geraghty begin their liquid lunch with a discussion of the latest, yet unsurprising developments in the confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett. For round two they analyze the possible reasons why polls are showing falling confidence rates in a COVID-19 vaccine. With their last round of the day they return to Portland for a “Day of Rage,” otherwise known in Portland as, “Sunday.”

They also discuss the revelations of another extramarital scandal involving Cal Cunningham, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

Join Jim and Greg as they mix serious and lighthearted analysis of Tuesday’s first presidential debate.

And they get a kick out Democrats suddenly wanting Supreme Court term limits since we may soon have an actual conservative majority.
