  • Biden's Brutus and Trump got hoodwinked with the debates
    2024/08/09

    Assuming Biden wanted another term in the White House, who thought having him do an early debate was a good idea? If Biden is wondering who stabbed him in the back, his Brutus, he need look no further that who recommended the early debate. Joe - you wanted the early bird special at Golden Corral, not the early bird prime time nationally televised debate.

    But seeing as this debate was a debacle for Biden that absolutely everyone saw coming, why did Donald, the artist of the deal, agree to the early debate? I hate to point this out to you Trump supporters, but Trump got dumped on this one. Here, Donald was Charlie Brown acting surprised that Lucy pulled the football away. Donald - everyone saw this coming. Why didn't you?

    Finally, Christ and Joel unpack the wacky case of the week where a court decided whether you, as a consumer, can expect bones in your boneless chicken wings.

  • Assassination attempt and Alec Baldwin's case dismissed
    2024/07/15

    In a moment for the history books, President Trump was shot in the ear and he has our nation's immigration problems to thank for saving his life. The would be assassin ha\d Trump in his crosshairs, but as he was pulling the trigger, Trump turned his head to look at an immigration map. That head turn was the difference between brain splatter and ear wax getting on a bullet.

    Questions abound. For starters, why was an assassin allowed on a rooftop within 1000 yards of the president? If I had been contacted the morning of the event and asked to lead the security detail, I would have thought to secure an adjacent rooftop in direct eyesight to the president. Second, there is video tape of people recording the President's speech where you could hear people talking about the assassin and wondering what he was doing on the rooftop. If this story-line were in a movie, I would have turned it off for being too stupid to be believable.

    But maybe most importantly, who created that immigration map? That person just saved Trump's life.

    Chris and Joel unpack this historic moment.

    Speaking of shooting, Alec Baldwin's accidental shooting trial was dismissed with prejudice after the prosecution played hide-the-evidence with the defense.

    2024/06/07

    The jury has spoken and found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. What's next for the leading candidate to be our next president? Will Riker's Island have to make room for oval furniture? Chris and Joel discuss the next steps for Trump.

    Plus Chad Daybell gets the death penalty for his role in the murders of his ex wife and his second wife's kids. Which is a bit odd. Because the evidence shows that it is more likely that his second wife was responsible for the murders of her kids, but she didn't get the death penalty.
