LUIGI IS HANDSOME The man being charged with murdering a Health Insurance CEO is getting attention, praise and even a pass from liberal women, including some in the media. Would it be different if he had murdered a major executive at Planned Parenthood? Professor of Communications Jeff McCall on the media’s coverage of Luigi Mangione and Daniel Penny and the unjustified attention paid to The View. The author of “The Dumbest Generation: How The Digital Age Stupefies Young People and Jeopardizes our Future."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HOW ABOUT SOME ZAPATOS? That would be shoes in Spanish. There are thousands of kids running around in the Dominican Republic who have never owned a pair of shoes. Someone should tell Juan Soto, who just signed a guaranteed contract worth over $275 million, to change that. Black Lives Matter and the NAACP had the usual knee jerk response to the not guilty verdict for Daniel Penny. Linda Lee Tarver of Project 21 Black Leadership Network has a sane response. Dr. Carole Lieberman, known as 'America’s Psychiatrist', has her analysis of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered Brian Thomson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

IT'S ABOUT TIME  Dave Parker was finally elected to the Hall of Fame.

IT'S THE INVASION OF THE PRETZEL PEOPLE The Demediacrats keep twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify and rationalize Joe Biden pardoning his son. Caryn Wilson aka Whoopi Goldberg set a new standard in her discussion with a guy who expects to be referred to as Charlemagne tha God.  The Supreme Court heard testimony today in a case involving the state of Tennessee and people who love the idea of mutilating children. The plaintiff's argument is really stupid and at least one Justice agrees with them.  Donald Trump has named Chris Wright as his choice for Energy Secretary and he is “Mr. Fracking.” He may be the guy who rescues your gas stove from extinction. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 ARE YOU READY FOR A GOLDEN BATTER?  Only a league that thinks it's dying would consider a rule that the Idiots Who Run Baseball are considering.   How would you like to be in charge of convincing people that Joe Biden isn't a liar?

RACHEL TOOK A PAY CUT MSNBC's ratings are in the toilet and Rachel Maddow is taking a 20% pay cut. Under the new deal she'll only be making $20 million a year.

Looks Like a RINO From Here  John Thune, who was about as anti-Trump as a a guy can get, was elected Majority Leader by Republicans in the Senate.

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE, JOHNNY CARSON?  A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Remember when late night TV was about entertainment? You know music, comedy? Now it's 'Meet the Press' late night and  on Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel was happy to tell Trump voters how stupid they are... and he cried.   John Daniel Davidson of the Federalist says there has to be retribution for corrupt media and government officials who spent years calling Donald Trump a Nazi and a Hitler wannabe.  A lifelong radical feminist Democrat tried to tell her party three years ago that promoting transgender insanity was going to put a Republican in the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SARAH WAS RIGHT It was Sarah Huckabee Sanders, governor of Arkansas, who said during her rebuttal to Joe Biden's State of the Union address that it was no longer about Republican vs Democrat or Conservative vs Liberal but about normal vs. crazy.Normal won on Tuesday.  DePauw University Professor of Communications Jeffrey McCall talks about what the media should have learned from the Trump blowout.  Fred Bauer of City Journal says Trump's win is the beginning of a major political realignment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WOULD RACHEL LEVINE COUNT?  Our Jerk of the Week has been campaigning for the party that says a 60+ year-old man can become a woman and he says Donald Trump can't stand to be around strong, intelligent women.  Michael Whatley, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, reacts to the latest insanity from the left and gives his assessment of where the race stands with four days to go.  If Clint Eastwood, who's 94, were a liberal, the media and all of Hollywood would be slobbering all over him and the movie he directed but they're not. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How Can A Catholic Vote For A Democrat? Democrats love abortion and do their best to make voters think they hate Catholics.Who's blowing up secure ballot boxes on the West Coast? Are ballot boxes a good idea?If men competing against women in sports is an issue in this campaign, the Democrats are in trouble. Shocking as it may seem, polls show that most people think it's stupid.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 IT'S ALL ABOUT THE APOSTROPHE The Biden White House had to clean up another one of Joe Biden's unfiltered opinions and tried to do it with a 'magic apostrophe'.

 NICK BOSA IS NOT COLIN KAEPERNICK   Nick's taking some heat for photo bombing a live interview after Sunday Night Football while wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat and people are suggesting he should pay the same price as Kaepernick. It's a bad comparison.  Someone who worked closely with Donald Trump in his first term explains why we  shouldn't believe anything Trump's former Chief of Staff John Kelly says about Trump.  Are you woke? What is woke? Tyler O'Neil, author of “ Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating The Federal Government,” explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

IT'S NOT A SMALL LIE   There is no proof that Kamala Harris worked at McDonald's. Demediacrats are saying it doesn't matter and nobody cares. But it does matter. It's part of her obnoxious, incessantly repeated claims to have grown up “middle class.”    Dave McCormack has the momentum in the race for Senate in Pennsylvania and stands a good chance of making Mr. Invisible, Bob Casey, disappear.    Christine Flowers, a columnist and a conservative Catholic woman from Philadelphia, has some harsh words for Catholics who plan to vote for Kamala Harris. She also has serious questions about any man who does. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?   Kamala Harris should be kicking herself for allowing Donald Trump to use a McDonald's for a photo-op before she got a chance to do one at the McDonald's where she claims to have worked. Where was that, anyway?   The Demediacrats like to tell you that illegal immigrants don't commit crimes as often as legal citizens. That's a myth and Steven Malanga of City Journal has the numbers.   Marc Lotter, who has worked in three campaigns for Donald Trump, including as Director of Strategic Communications, talks about Trump, McDonald's, Kamala Harris and CBS. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 BRET BAER BLEW IT  When someone sits down for a TV interview, the interviewer or the producer is in charge and determines when the interview is over. Bret Baer let Kamala Harris's handlers decide. He stopped when they gave him the “wrap” signal. Weak.  A public relations, branding expert says Kamala failed the interview on Fox and should not have done it,  How worried should you be about someone stealing the title to your home? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WHAT IF IT HAPPENED ON YOUR STREET?  If your Home Owners' Association voted  to contribute money to a man, who murdered two people from the neighborhood, so that he could have a sex change operation, would you be okay with that? Kamala Harris would and she'd make it mandatory.  Ken LaCorte, a former producer at Fox News and a long time observer of political campaigns, says the Democrats have a “transgender problem” and it's a big one.   Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, comments on his debate Tuesday night with Mr. Invisible, Bob Casey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HOW ABOUT GROWING UP? Grown men wearing NFL replica jerseys to games and getting in fights with grown men wearing replica jerseys of another NFL team is an embarrassment to men everywhere.   The Biden-Harris administration has encouraged government bureaucrats to investigate parents who are not “affirming” enough with their kids (as young as three) who may be questioning their sexuality and giving them the power to remove those kids from the home.   The Democrats have had a problem with the 2nd Amendment for a long time. Now they're messing with the 1st Amendment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY Don't say that around Kamala Harris. She'd like to wish you a happy Indigenous People Day because she's woke. And dumb. Monica Crowley has spent a long time in Washington D.C.

And it's a long and hard one.    Christian Toto of HollywoodinToto.com has noticed a big difference in Hollywood's reaction to the victims of Hurricane Helene. He's one of the few Hollywood reporters willing to point it out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AT LEAST THEY'RE WOKE  You'll be thrilled to know that FEMA, as part of its training teaches that America is a racist country.   Joe Biden says Donald Trump is lying about FEMA. The Trump campaign begs to differ.   Worried about World War III? The President of American Freedom Alliance says we're already in it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 PUTTING DRESSING ON A WORD SALAD  That's what CBS did with Kamala Harris's appearance on 60 minutes. And it was still a train wreck.    Heather MacDonald, one of the smartest women in America, says the Vice Presidential debate last week on CBS, “Made it clear that whichever party wins, the feminization of American culture will continue apace.”  Tim Murtaugh, senior advisor to the Trump campaign, says, by all indications, if the election were held today, Donald Trump would be the 47th President of the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EVACUATE  It's not a word we hear around here but they're doing it again in Florida. Something to remember when those temperatures in February and March have you considering moving there.  H.Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute has the facts and the myths about the back to back hurricanes in Florida.  Kamala Harris is calling Donald Trump's tariffs, many of which her adminstration kept in place, a national sales tax that will hurt the middle class. Economist E.J. Antoni of the Heritage Foundation says she's wrong. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WHOOPI HAS A MESSAGE  Whoopi Goldberg took some time on The View to speak to Catholics and Christians about their feelings on abortion. Whoopi has had seven of them.   There may finally be some sanity creeping into the issue of women being forced to compete against men in sports. There have been multiple forfeits by women's volleyball teams refusing to play against a team that includes a man dressed as a woman.   Tim Walz tried to defend Kamala Harris's statements on energy and the environment in Tuesday's debate with J.D. Vance. He failed miserably according to Larry Behrens of Power The Future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THEY DID IT AGAIN  CBS' debate moderators were no better than ABC's. Is it a lack of shame or a lack of self-awareness?  Jesse Jane Duff, Director of Veterans for Trump,  critiques her fellow veteran Tim Walz' debate performance. She wasn't impressed.   Jeffrey McCall, Professor of Communications at DePauw University trashes the CBS debate moderators and wonders if they may  have contributed to the end of the televised Presidential debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

KAMALA HAS THE SPIRIT  She talked about spirit on MSNBC Wednesday night and produced another delicious word salad that made zero sense.  Jeffrey McCall, Professor of Communications at DePauw University grades the performance of MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle Wednesday night and talks about the continuing slow death of real journalism.  Former member of the Federal Election Commission, Hans von Spakovsky, has all the numbers to show what a joke it is to have the U.S. Postal Service playing a major role in counting ballots in a Presidential election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GUESS WHO'S SITTING DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW?  Your Vice President is sitting down with a Trump hater who said that it was ridiculous to expect her to answer questions about policy because it won't change anybody's vote.   Republican National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko has a different perspective on immigration. Her father escaped from the Soviet Union, legally emigrated to the United States and received a law degree from Yale.   Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of “The Soros Agenda” says George Soros buying more than 200 radio stations, including three in Pittsburgh, is not good for America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NOW THEY'RE CALLING HIM A CHICKEN Kamala and the Demediacrats keep saying they want another debate and they keep calling Donald Trump a coward for not accepting. The Trump campaign keeps passing up an opportunity to turn the tables.  Don't believe those statistics you've been hearing about crime being down under the Biden administration. John Lott Jr. of the Crime Prevention Research Center tells you why. The key word is REPORTED.   Illegal immigration is undermining America and Joe Biden has been helping to speed up the process. Fred Bauer of City Journal has the numbers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
