Summary
First, they examine the long and influential career of Dick Cheney, from his early days in the Ford administration to serving as Defense Secretary during the Gulf War and later as one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history. There will be considerable debate on the right over his legacy in the Iraq War and his endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024. Jim also tells us about a special dinner he had with the Cheneys shortly after the 2004 election.
Next, they slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for his latest comments clearly aimed at delegitimizing the U.S. Supreme Court, all because he's frustrated by the right-leaning decisions coming from the court. Holder is also among the people urging Democrats to gerrymander their congressional even more heading into the 2026 midterms
Finally, they recoil at the vile voicemail left for Sen. Sheehy by a woman who is running for local office in Montana. In the message, she hopes Sheehy contracts pancreatic cancer and dies quickly because he supported the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill. Jim says after Charlie Kirk's murder, the Jay Jones scandal, and now this, there are a lot of people becoming detached from reality over politics.

| 0:19.1 | We've got so much to get to today. |
| 0:20.7 | We're going to be talking about the unhinged leftists that wished death, noticing a pattern, |
| 0:26.7 | against Montana Senator Tim Sheehe, and this person's not just a constituent. |
| 0:30.6 | She's actually running for local office out in Montana. |
| 0:33.7 | We'll also be taking a look at the insane democratic efforts to further blue the congressional map, |
| 0:40.9 | even in states where it's already really, really blue. |
| 0:44.4 | And the overall efforts by former Attorney General Eric Holder to gerrymander the map. |
| 0:50.1 | And in a moment, we'll be talking about the passing of former vice president Dick Cheney at the age of 84, which we all learned this morning. And so, Jim, I don't know if you've already voted. I think we're, I think we still got some races where we can be cautiously optimistic. But I don't know that there's any major races that we feel we've got in the bank today. I'm holding up my I voted sticker. I really appreciate the fact that they now give them to you, because I think it was 2004, which, as listeners will soon know, was one of my all-time favorite election days. Somebody put one on my leather jacket, and then as I peeled it off, part of the leather jacket, it was a little discoloration there. And, you know, like you could say, say, oh, it's a happy memento of the 2004 election day. But yeah, this is why you hand people stickers. You don't stick them on people. Not that I'm still bitter about that. Let's talk about Mizzen and Maine. I've told you so much about Mizzen and Maine and the fantastic shirts, different fabrics, but great fabrics, and how well they fit and how good they feel. And the best part |
| 1:46.8 | is you don't have to iron them. You don't have to take them to the dry cleaners, even though they are |
| 1:52.0 | excellent dress clothes. And that, among many other reasons, is why I love Mizzen and Maine. |
| 1:57.0 | You know what, Greg, I'm going to come over to your office. I'm going to put this I voted sticker |
| 2:00.8 | on your Mizan and Maine shirt. And I bet you'll look just fine when you take it off. There won't be any discoloration, won't be anything like that. Misen and Maine makes classic menswear with performance fabric so it's effortless to look sharp and feel great. They actually invented the performance fabric dress shirt more than 10 years ago, and since then, they've perfected it with modern fabrics. |
| 2:20.4 | They're stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, wrinkle resistant, and completely machine washable. |
| 2:26.4 | No more ironing or dry cleaning. |
| 2:28.3 | Right now, Mizzen and Maine is offering three martini lunch listeners 20% off your first purchase at Mizonandmain.com. |
