Summary

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the deaths of leaders of both Hamas and Hezbollah, Kari Lake winning the Arizona GOP Senate primary, and dueling attack ads on the border put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns.

First, they celebrate the air strikes that killed Ismail Haniyeh, political leader of Hamas, and Fu’ad Shukr, a top military leader of Hezbollah, both men responsible for brutal attacks that took droves of innocent lives. Jim observes the aura of mystery around Haniyeh's death, as Israel claimed responsibility for Shukr's death, but not his.

Next, they sigh as Arizona Republicans hand the U.S. Senate primary victory to Kari Lake. Jim emphasizes her unpopularity, her loss of what should have been an easily winnable governor's election, and her flip-flopping on key issues. He also thinks that any other candidate would have been preferable.

Finally, they compare dueling attack ads put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns, with VP Kamala Harris's campaign attempting to gaslight Americans on her immigration record and claim that Donald Trump is soft on immigration. Jim cannot fathom how her campaign team thought that this sort of gaslighting was the way to go.
