Trump's Two Speeches, Biden Exit or Dem Wishcasting? Dems Doubt Trump Shooting
19 JUL 2024 · 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 parts 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.
The JD Vance Speech, Biden Campaign Circles the Drain, MSNBC 'Huffing the Copium'
18 JUL 2024 · Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss J. D. Vance's RNC speech last night, the latest from a steadily collapsing Biden campaign, and Joy Reid's latest unhinged take on Donald Trump and President Biden.
First, they highlight the most salient points from Vance's speech. While Jim explained in the Morning Jolt why he did not like the speech because of how it represents an unfortunate shift in the Republican party and Greg has been bothered by heavy union embrace at the RNC, Inez contends that we are living in different times, and Vance's vision is a necessary one for the country's future.
Next, they pull out the popcorn as high profile Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer shove Biden harder towards ending his re-election bid. His recent gaffes, forgetting the names of President Herbert Hoover and his own Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, as well as his recent contraction of Covid-19, are certainly not helping his case.
Finally, they rip Joy Reid's attempt to compare Joe Biden's (hopeful) recovery from Covid to Trump recovering from getting shot. Inez quips that Democrats are just "huffing copium" at this point, because Trump obviously has all the luck on his side and has a knack for making the most of key moments.
Powerful Convention Moments, Biden Panders to the Far Left, Cheatle's Sloppy 'Slope' Excuse
17 JUL 2024 · 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.
Trump Picks Vance, More Secret Service Mistakes, Biden's Weak Interview
16 JUL 2024 · Today, Jim and Greg discuss Donald Trump's selection of Ohio Senator J.D Vance as his running mate. They also talk about DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's dubious statement of confidence in the U.S. Secret Service director, and President Biden's very weak interview with NBC's Lester Holt.
First, they open with a conversation about Trump's choice of Sen. Vance as his running mate. They weigh the pros and cons that might come with this decision and touch on other notable aspects of the Republican National Convention.
Next, they raise their eyebrows as Sec. Mayorkas claims that he has 100% confidence in Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, despite the agency's failure to stop the would-be Trump assassin from shooting. Greg recalls one of Trump's noteworthy lines from the debate: what does it take, in this administration, to get fired?
Finally, they review Biden's NBC interview, in which he makes no effort to walk back the incendiary rhetoric he has used against Trump, and once again showcases his mental decline. They close with the breaking news that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been convicted on all counts, and Jim looks forward to the next corrupt Democrat who will take his place.

The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump
15 JUL 2024 · 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.

Dems Still Stuck, Biden's Gaffes & Gaslighting, RNC's Regrettable Guest Speaker
12 JUL 2024 · 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.

Casey's Curious Family Funding, Obama Double-Crosses Biden, Bill Kristol's Political Fiction
11 JUL 2024 · Today, Jim and Greg discuss an attack ad that exposes Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey using his politics to help his siblings get rich, the news that former President Obama greenlit George Clooney's New York Times op-ed calling for President Biden to step down from the race, and Bill Kristol's ridiculous claim that Biden's old age is the only thing working against Democrats in this election.
First, they applaud the Republican attack ad that takes Sen. Casey to task for using his position to enrich his family. They analyze the effect that this ad may have in the upcoming senate race, especially given that the ad ties Casey's actions to the Hunter Biden scandal, which is still a recent memory.
Next, they shake their heads at what appears to be Obama's attempts to publicly support Joe Biden but privately sabotage his campaign, greenlighting George Clooney to call for Bide to step aside from the presidential race. Jim thinks that if Obama believes Biden is not fit to be president, then he should tell Biden himself instead of making underhanded moves to hint that Biden should step down.
Finally, they dissect Bill Kristol's recent tweet that the Democratic party and its policies are basically sound, and that Biden's old age is the only thing holding them back. Jim and Greg point to the terrible results on the border, economics, and foreign policy that we have seen from this presidency, and wonder what backwards logic led Kristol to his conclusion.

Sotomayor & the 2nd Amendment, Sen. Bennet Bails on Biden, Goodbye Gaza Pier
10 JUL 2024 · Today, Jim and Greg discuss the implications of U.S. Marshals protecting Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor shooting a a would-be carjacker, the latest Democrat voices to turn on President Biden, and the curtain call of the Gaza pier disaster.
First, they react to the news that the U.S. Marshals protecting Justice Sotomayor shot a man that pulled a gun on them and was likely attempting a carjacking. Jim wishes he could ask Justice Sotomayor if this incident changes her mind on the importance of second amendment rights.
Next, they dissect Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet's public statements on CNN that Biden cannot win the upcoming election, as well as George Clooney's report that Biden was just as fragile behind closed doors at a recent Hollywood fundraiser as he was on the debate stage. Jim is very concerned about what this means for the next six months that Biden is in office, unless the 25th Amendment is invoked.
Finally, they roll their eyes as the ridiculous Gaza pier saga finally comes to an end. Reports suggest it will likely soon be closed down because of how badly beaten up it has been by the weather. Jim points out that this project to send aid to Gaza was a failure in every sense.

The Media & Biden's Health, The GOP's Pathetic Platform, Biden's 'Big Boy' Plans
9 JUL 2024 · Greg is back today. Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the growing discussion surrounding President Biden's neurological health, the supremely unimpressive Republican Party platform, and Biden's press team treating him like a tiny child.
First, they analyze the assessment of Dr. Tom Pitts, the board-certified neurologist who appeared on NBC News to share his belief that Biden clearly shows the symptoms of Parkinson'ss. Jim says this is a good martini not because of Biden's deteriorating health, but because the mainstream media have finally been forced to talk about it.
Next, they tear into a painfully inadequate and "depressingly unserious" Republican party platform. There are some strong policies but from the poor writing to the glaring lack of specifics on spending and other issues, the platform is stunningly unimpressive. They are especially disappointed with how the platform surrenders on abortion.
Finally, they have a good laugh at the way Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre and NSC Spokesman John Kirby are handling damage control for the president as they describe Biden's upcoming "big boy" press conference. They remark on how the president is clearly being infantilized by everyone surrounding him, and Jim laments that the nation is being run by Edith Wilsons.
