Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they take the current president and both major party nominees to task today. They unload on Kamala's proposed government intrusion into the economy, Trump's cavalier comparison involving the Medal of Honor, and Biden's staff having to explain yet again that what Biden said isn't administration policy.

First, they review more specifics from Vice President Harris's economic plan to reduce the cost of food, housing and more. They explain that the money she wants to give first-time homebuyers will only drive up prices - due to the infusion of money and higher demand. And they tee off on her plans to tell companies how much they are allowed to charge. And one of Jim's fellow Washington Post columnists - who is not on the political right - pulls no punches on condemning the agenda.

Next, they address Donald Trump honoring donor Miriam Adelson by reflecting on the time he awarded her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In doing so, he compared that award with the Medal of Honor and remarked that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is "actually much better" because the Medal of Honor recipients are "either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead" and Mrs. Adelson is "a healthy, beautiful woman."

Finally, they rip the listless, lame duck presidency of Joe Biden, who once again wandered off script with the media - this time on Venezuela. And his national security staff once had to come out and tell us to ignore what the president just said.
