Capital G Podcast host, Greer McVay, outlines what may be lurking behind the selection of Amy Coney Barrett as a new Supreme Court Justice. The “Big Kahuna,” as Greer describes it, is not just about Republican Power, it’s really more about the power concentrated into the hands of fewer than 1% of America’s wealthiest families.

In political campaigns, surprises are no surprise at all. As a matter of fact, surprises are expected, and even required. The first of the 2020 presidential campaign October Surprises from the Republican candidate, the report on the so-called "Obamagate" conspiracy, appears to have fizzled out, leaving the president in a public rage over his Attorney General Bill Barr. On the other side, what started out as a big win for the GOP, an open seat on the Supreme Court, is starting to show signs of tension, and might turn into an unexpected surprise in favor of the Democratic Party. And we are barely 2-weeks into October.

Host Greer McVay, introduces the controversies in this episode of the Capital G Podcast and encourages you to follow along. Over the next few days, take some time to review the SCOTUS Hearing presentation by Sheldon Whitehouse and read the Washington Post story, A Conservative Activist's Behind-the-Scenes Campaign to Remake the Nation's Courts.

With the 2020 election barely three weeks away, the president's campaign team still does not appear to have settled on a single strategy to increase his standing in the polls. As a series of unfavorable news stories have emerged in recent days, including several about his financial and tax woes, and as his personal health challenges persist, President Trump's history of advancing his own version of reality has moved from his business dealings into the political spotlight. As those stories merge with wide-ranging conspiracies, the distraction from his key messages may prove too much to overcome. What happens next is the subject of this episode of the Capital G Podcast.

With so much on the line, the Vice-presidential debate between current VP, Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, delivered high drama, political machinations, well-timed jabs and even a cameo by a show-stealing fly. What the debate did not deliver was anything likely to change the minds of voters. In this episode of the Capital G Podcast, your host, Greer McVay, offers commentary on the debate, but also starts to peel back the layers of the onion to reveal the real election strategy of the Trump/Pence ticket. Greer dives into some of the schemes that might help to sway the election in Trump’s favor, if voters don't take steps to demand their votes be counted.

When the president was diagnosed with COVID-19, and later airlifted to Walter Reed Medical Center, thousands if not millions of American began openly debating whether or not the diagnosis was real or a hoax. The president’s Sunday evening departure from the hospital to drive around and wave to supporters from a motorcade, exposing all involved, reinforced the notion that his medical team might be being less than fully transparent.

Listen to the latest episode of the Capital G Podcast to understand why the controversy exists, as we move into the final month of the campaign.

The first presidential debate was widely criticized as frustrating, confusing and a circus; but what was not said in the 90-minute interaction between President Donald Trump and the former Vice-President, Joe Biden, is just as important as what was said, and infinitely more illuminating.

Greer will help you decipher the debate (whether you watched it or not) and share some thoughts on why it went off the rails, most assuredly to distract from the scathing New York Times article about Trump’s taxes that was released this past Sunday. You’ll learn more about the tax mess that Trump has created for himself, as well as his desperation to stay in office in an effort to avoid paying the piper, who’s surely on his way to collect.
