Summary
1. Criticism of Jake Tapper and the Media
- The Ben and the Senator strongly criticize CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson for their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
- They accuse Tapper and mainstream media of knowingly covering up President Biden’s cognitive decline for years.
- The book is portrayed as hypocritical, with Tapper allegedly profiting from a situation he helped conceal.
2. American Bar Association (ABA) and Judicial Nominees
- The Trump Justice Department’s decision to remove the ABA from its formal role in vetting judicial nominees is discussed.
- The ABA is described as a biased, left-wing advocacy group.
- Examples are given of highly qualified conservative judges being rated “not qualified” by the ABA.
- The hosts celebrate the move as a win for conservative judicial transparency.
3. Kamala Harris’s Book and Media Appearances
- Harris’s book 107 Days is mocked as lacking authenticity and reflection.
- Her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is criticized for being scripted and evasive.
- Her comments on democracy, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Education are portrayed as incoherent and ideologically driven.
4. Democratic Party Leadership and Direction
- Kamala Harris’s inability to name a clear leader of the Democratic Party is used to argue that the party is “rudderless.”
- The hosts claim the party is dominated by its far-left wing, including figures like AOC and Ilhan Omar.
