Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden bowing out of the presidential race, his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, and Republican reactions to the news.
First, they dive into the biggest news of the weekend: Biden is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Jim raises his eyebrows at the troubling fact that Biden has not made any public appearances since the news came out, and wonders what kind of state the president is in. They also explain how Biden’s decline was obvious for a long time, and Democrats only dumped him because they were finally convinced he would lose.
Next, they mull over the political future of Vice President Harris, whom Biden and many other prominent Democrats have now endorsed, with a few notable holdouts. Jim thinks that her future is much more secure as a running mate, and that if she loses, her political career is as good as over.
Finally, they go over the multitude of responses to the news from Republicans, from jabs that Kamala will be easier to beat to calls for Biden to step down immediately. Jim emphasizes the need for Biden to resign, and cautions against assuming Kamala will be easy to beat.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the two speeches within Donald Trump’s RNC address, reports that President Joe Biden plans to continue with his campaign while other Democrats plant stories that he is quitting, and the shocking number of Democrats buying into conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination of Trump.
First, they analyze the very different of Trump’s speech last night. They agree that the beginning of the speech, discussing the assassination attempt and honoring Corey Comperatore, was the strongest part. They also suggest that the rally-style improvisation made the speech too long. And while it probably didn’t cost him any votes, a tighter speech may have appealed to more people. They agree that it seemed to be a successful convention and that every Gen X kid loved Hulk Hogan’s appearance.
Next, they compare conflicting reports about the likelihood that Biden will discontinue his re-election campaign, with sources close to the president reporting that they are “furious” about the pressure campaign that has been launched against him. Jim thinks that the liberal media is essentially dreamcasting, and that Biden will not step down if those closest to him want him to stay in office.
Finally, they raise their eyebrows at the startling one-third of Democrats who believe that the attempted assassination of Trump was a hoax. Jim observes that you have to have an animal hatred of Trump for your first instinct at the shooting to be contemptuous disbelief.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the most compelling and important moments from the Republican National Convention Tuesday evening, President Biden’s pandering to the hard left, and U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s unsatisfying interview about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
First, they review convention speeches from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as Haley sought to unite the party and DeSantis took a blowtorch to Biden and his record. They also highlight Madeline Brame’s impassioned speech soft-on-crime policies of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and other far left prosecutors. Jim believes that Nikki Haley’s speech may turn out to be the most impactful in the coming election in moving the needle for Trump skeptics.
Next, they shake their heads as Biden scrambles to save his campaign by appealing to hardline progressives with promises of federal rent control in a gaffe-filled speech. Jim is bewildered at why Democrats are pushing so hard to make him the nominee, seemingly terrified of a delegate fight this late in the election cycle.
Finally, they put the spotlight on an interview that Director Cheatle did with ABC News, which raised more questions than it answered about how the shooter gained access to the roof of a building just 400 feet from Trump. They hope to see investigations and hearings that hold the Secret Service to greater accountability, but are resigned to the fact that Cheatle will not be stepping down and probably won’t be fired.

Listen to “The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump” on Spreaker.
Today, Jim and Greg do wall-to-wall coverage of Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. They discuss the miracle of Trump’s survival, the suspicious details coming out about how the Secret Servicefailed to stop the shooter before he fired, and a mainstream media that will always find a way to attack Trump, even as he recovers from an attempt on his life.
First, they take a few moments to express gratitude for Trump’s survival. Jim points out that mere microseconds made the difference between what could have been one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history, and the survival of our former president.
Next, they point to the very obvious need to beef up the quality of the Secret Service, which failed to secure an obvious security concern with a clear line of sight to Trump. Officers also did not respond to the threat of the gunman climbing onto the roof until he began firing. Jim recalls many instances of lax, unprofessional behavior on the part of the Secret Service in the past, and hopes that this near-disaster will lead to a serious investigation of the agency.
Finally, they facepalm at how the media handled coverage of the shooting, starting with their hesitancy to call the shooting a shooting even though video footage made that clear. They also slam prominent reporters for criticizing Trump’s initial reaction to being shot and his perfectly normal statement a short time later. And Jim and Greg discuss Morning Joe being pre-empted this morning, reportedly because NBC wanted to avoid any of the guests making an inappropriate comment.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden’s press conference last night and how Democrats are still twisting in the wind. They also highlight Biden’s embarrassing verbal fumbles. And they weigh in on the news that former stripper and Kanye West girlfriend Amber Rose will speak at the Republican National Convention.
They begin with an overview of the press conference. Jim notes that while it was not bad by Biden standards, that still does not make it remotely good.
Next, they highlight some of Biden’s worst gaffes from the conference, including referring to President Zelensky as President Putin and to VP Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” Greg notes Biden’s horribly revionist view of the economy and his ongoing demonization if Israel. Jim says Dems should be shuddering over Biden’s statement that he would refuse to step down even if the polls hypothetically showed that Kamala Harris was more likely to beat Trump than him.
Finally, they lament the Republican National Convention’s unfortunate speaker choice of Amber Rose, an ex-stripper who dated Kanye West and has several other tawdry items on her resume. Jim wonders whose idea it was to pick Rose, observing that this decision makes the RNC seem desperate for anyone remotely famous.

Listen to “The Trump Verdict: The Case, The Rule of Law & What Comes Next” on Spreaker.
by GregC
First, they praise Donald Trump’s lawyers for being on their A-game while handling Michael Cohen’s cross-examination and examining the final witnesses. They observe that the prosecution’s case has been badly damaged at this point, but that we still cannot be certain of what the final verdict will be.
Next, they criticize the U.N’s poor handling of the transportation of relief supplies in Gaza, as looters are scrambling for the aid that the U.S. has sent over. They contemplate whether these looters might have an association with Hamas, and note that the officials who are transporting the aid must provide armed security if they hope to secure their supplies.
Finally, they roll their eyes as Biden puts his senility into full view once again, introducing an American hostage…who is still being held by Hamas. They speculate on whether the Democratic Party might swap Biden for another candidate before this year’s election, depending on whether he can pull it together for the upcoming debate with Trump.

Listen to “Trump’s VP Short List? Economic Warning Signs, Biden Adds DACA to Obamacare” on Spreaker.
Jim and Greg finish a very long and busy week by mulling over the four names reported to be on Trump’s VP short list, some concerning signs in the April jobs report, and President Biden taking a page from Barack Obama’s guide to political pandering.
First, they consider the pros and cons of the four figures reported to be under serious consideration to be Donald Trump’s running mate. What benefits do North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance potentially bring to the ticket and what are their liabilities?
Next, they size up the April jobs report – which showed positive job growth but not as much as expected. Plus, they highlight the massive number of Americans who have stopped looking for work and dropped out of the labor force.
Finally, they discuss President Biden’s election year ploy to add DACA recipients (people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents) to Obamacare. And guess who gets to pay for those health care bills?

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more campus crackdowns, how the left really offers little besides destruction, President Biden condemning illegal protests only after they’ve finally been dealt with, and whether Trump and other Republicans might actually have a shot at winning in Nevada this year.
First, they welcome California authorities ending the trespassing protests at UCLA and they also get a kick out of these agitators demonizing the University of California system as being a product of colonialism. They also notice that these “encampments” are all coming down around the same time. Coincidence?
Next, they largely agree with President Biden’s comments on Thursday defending the right to protest peacefully but denouncing demonstrators who trespass, vandalize, and threaten other people. But where was this a week or two ago? Why does the statement only come now as the protests end?
Finally, they dig into Nevada polling numbers and wonder whether Donald Trump can be the first GOP nominee to win the state in 20 years or whether the Silver State will prove to be fool’s gold for Republicans yet again.
