Transcribe →J.D. Vance RERUN
Sep 3, 202400:34:53Tap to summarizeOn the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention, Donald Trump announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his Vice Presidential pick. The announcement came in the wake of much speculation about who Trump would pick and clearly demonstrates his desire to pick an intellectual successor to the MAGA agenda. But aside from a Trump bootlicker and a shrewd, power-hungry political novice, who is J.D. Vance and what does he offer to the Trump-Vance ticket? In order to better understand the moment in American politics that led to the rise of J.D. Vance, we're replaying an old episode that was recorded in the lead-up to the 2022 Ohio Senate Race. In it we discuss his bio, his 2022 political platform, and the close race he ran against Democrat Tim Ryan. * Follow us on social media!

Transcribe →RFK Jr., A Trump Guy!
Aug 27, 202400:38:24Tap to summarizeRFK Jr. suspended his campaign last Friday and endorsed former President Donald Trump in the latest WTF moment to come out of the Kennedy campaign. That night, he appeared on stage at a Trump rally to kiss the ring and bring MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) to MAGA. What do RFK Jr. supporters think of him now and what are we all supposed to make of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "free thinker" campaign now that the Kennedy outcast has gone from declaring his independence from the 2 party system to declaring his dependence on Donald Trump for a job? * Follow us on social media!

Aug 26, 202401:02:13Tap to summarizeOn August 6, 2024, at a campaign stop in Philadelphia, Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris introduced her Vice Presidential Pick, Tim Walz, to a cheering crowd of people who definitely weren't AI-generated, to Donald Trump's great dismay. But who is Tim Walz and what does he offer to the Harris-Walz ticket? Join co-hosts Ryan and Kevin for an informative, fun 2 part conversation about the man behind "weird." In part 2, we break down Tim Walz's legislative record as Governor of Minnesota, the GOP's attacks against Walz, and close with a game we're calling "Walz or White Dad?" * Follow us on social media!
