Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed President Trump in the 2024 presidential race, slamming the door on any sustained momentum Kamala Harris hoped to gain coming out of her Democratic National Convention. The RFK Jr. endorsement could make the difference in tight battleground states. At the DNC, they created a whole brand new person who didn't exist 33 days earlier, and called her Kamala Harris. Plus, Hogan has signed on to work with Speaker Johnson, and Tim has rejoined the Trump campaign as a senior advisor.
Most candidates for president select a running mate who brings something to the ticket that they lack themselves. That's not the case with Kamala Harris, who just did the opposite. She's been rapidly lying to cover up her career of leftist policy positions, but she just selected a raging leftist -- Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota -- who actually reinforces the very things she was trying to escape. Plus, she couldn't take Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, because the rabid pro-Hamas base of the Democratic Party would never stand for a Jewish candidate. Tim and Hogan discuss.
Democrat Kamala Harris, suddenly the media's favorite presidential candidate of all time, has been hard at work erasing her long-held leftist policy positions as she enters the 2024 race with under 100 days to go. She's not doing it herself, mind you, but anonymous campaign sources are leaking exclusives to reporters to announce each policy reversal. And the media is eating it all up because their main mission is to defeat Donald Trump.
Tim and Hogan discuss.
It's like Joe Biden never existed. Fresh from concealing Biden's condition from the entire world, Democrats and the news media have pivoted and are now in love with Kamala Harris, a candidate so bad that she was driven from the 2020 race with no support, two months before primary voting even started! Plus, the head of the Secret Service resigns over the complete breakdown in security that led to the assassination attempt against President Trump. Tim and Hogan discuss.
The national news media failed to report on President Joe Biden's noticeable cognitive decline because they didn't want to help former President Trump win re-election, according to the former executive editor of the New York Times. Reporters only stopped protecting Biden when the lie became too difficult to sustain after the first presidential debate. Plus, a discussion of the best patriotic movies. Kaelan Dorr pinch hits for Sonny, joining Tim and Hogan for this episode.
Joe Biden just had a bad night, or it's the staff's fault, or he had a cold. Those are the excuses the Democrats are using to make themselves feel better after the president revealed to the world that he is in a bad state of mental and physical decline. The worst presidential debate performance in history is in the books, and Tim Murtaugh and Hogan Gidley dive into it.
We lead with the new claim from the White House and its media allies that it's "cheap fake" videos that are making Joe Biden look physically and mentally frail, not the fact that Biden is physically and mentally frail. Plus, the first debate is coming up and, as presidential campaign debate veterans, we dive right in for previews and a discussion of the expectation game.
Tom Barrett is the Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan's 7th District. It's a rare open seat, in a swing district, in a battleground state, in a presidential election year, at a time when the GOP majority in the House is historically slim. As far as House races go, it doesn't get any bigger.
A week after 34 guilty verdicts in his political show trial in NYC, Trump is riding high and raising a ton of money while Joe Biden goes to Normandy for D-Day and is exposed to the world as feeble. Meanwhile, the White House is fighting off a detailed report in the Wall Street Journal that seriously questions Biden's fitness for the job. Also, Hunter Biden's notorious laptop is proved (again) to be authentic when the prosecution introduces it as evidence in Hunter's gun trial. Plus, Biden's "border security" executive order is a sham.
Donald Trump was convicted of 34 counts in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday. The prosecutor campaigned for office saying he’d do exactly that, and now they’ve engineered a guilty verdict out of amorphous charges, the worst key witness of all time, a pro-prosecution judge, and a jury from an 85-percent Democrat city.
Joe Biden's commencement address to graduates of Morehouse College in Atlanta exposed him as a racist demagogue who tries to pit Americans against each other based on race. Plus,. Trump holds a massive rally in the Bronx while the prosecution's case against him in the Manhattan trial falls apart, thanks to Michael Cohen's lies and credibility problem.
A commencement address at a private Catholic college by an NFL kicker has the Left in an uproar. Why do Harrison Butker's opinions drive leftists so crazy? Meanwhile, the Left was also offended by a different commencement speaker, the always offensive and super controversial Jerry Seinfeld. Plus, the Michael Cohen testimony does not go well for the prosecution in the Manhattan Trump trial.
If you want to be able to abort babies until the moment of birth, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. might be the candidate for you. Plus, the Trump trial continues in Manhattan while Joe Biden gives the media their orders - and some are already obeying. Plus, Tim and Hogan review Jerry Seinfeld's new Netflix movie, "Unfrosted." Spoiler: they liked it.
Comedy legend Joe Piscopo, now a talk show host in New York City, joins the show to talk about the political landscape and his career in show business. Piscopo. one of the great cast members in Saturday Night Live history, tells a few stories, including how he and Eddie Murphy didn't get fired from the show, how he met Ronald Reagan, and how he obtained permission from Frank Sinatra to do an impression.
President Biden is afraid to do the right thing -- forcefully condemn the antisemitic pro-Hamas protestors on college campuses -- because he doesn't want to offend pro-terrorist voters in Dearborn, Michigan. Plus, the Trump Trial continues in NYC and a new poll shows him winning the Electoral College anyway.
1The bogus New York trial of Donald Trump gets underway, and he receives a wildly different welcome on the streets of NYC than Joe Biden got in a Philadelphia Wawa store. Plus, NPR is hopelessly leftist and their new CEO is just as kooky as you would expect.
Roberto Clemente, Jr., son of the Pittsburgh Pirates legend, joins the show to talk about his father's life, career, and legacy.
Tim celebrates the release of his book, "Swing Hard in Case You Hit It: My Escape from Addiction and Shot at Redemption on the Trump Campaign," which is about politics and his years-long battle with alcohol. Plus, the media once again lies about something President Trump said on the campaign trail.
NBC hired former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel on a Friday and fired her by Tuesday after the raging leftists who staff the network pitched a hissyfit. Plus, Trump has his insane bond amount reduced by abut 2/3. And, Biden parties with celebrities in NYC while Trump goes to the wake of a NY cop killed in the line of duty. Quite a contrast.
The New York Attorney General is preparing to seize assets belonging to Donald Trump to pay the fine from the bogus fraud case filed against him. Plus, AOC embarrasses herself by not knowing what RICO is, and the entire media goes crazy over the "bloodbath" hoax. Tim, Hogan & Sonny discuss.
