Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they squeeze four stories into today's podcast, from the DNC's absurd efforts to undermine democracy in Wisconsin to Mark Zuckerberg admitting the FBI, the White House and other federal entities pressured him over online speech and from Kamala Harris tacitly backing a border wall to the return of repression and terrorist safe havens in Afghanistan.

Before the official martinis, they highlight how Democrats are trying to limit voters' options ahead of the presidential election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has thankfully dismissed a lawsuit trying to kick the Green Party's Jill Stein off the ballot in the Badger State. And it has to be one of the dumbest arguments for removing a candidate that we've ever heard.

Then, they react to Meta's Mark Zuckerberg admitting to House Republicans that the Biden administration urged him to censor COVID-19 content on Facebook, including humor and satire. And the FBI pre-emptively told him to be on the lookout for "Russian disinformation" about the Biden family and Burisma, so he was predisposed to spike the story of the Hunter Biden laptop when it was reported in the NY Post.

Next, they assess an Axios story that suggests Kamala Harris has flip-flopped again, this time embracing a border wall since she's on the record backing the Senate immigration bill. This change in policy is not something her staffers have announced, but it's another sign she is running to the middle despite her long radical record - and its happening while Democrats are planning a very progressive agenda in Congress with her full blessing.

Finally, they wince as the Taliban reimpose some of the most repressive policies against women just as we mark three years since the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jim also points out terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, are thriving there again. And all of it happening with your tax dollars.
