We discuss the Governor Walz pick, review who was not chosen, and speculate on why. Was it political calculus or something worse? We discuss concerns raised about the timing of Governor Walz’s retirement from the military.

Tim addresses the Kamala Harris, “I’m wearing a blue suit” YouTube clip and the associated inclusive behavior. John reaches out to the White House and reveals his answers to last week’s trivia question.

We highlight whack-jobs who want to blow up Swifties and acknowledge a hero who used a gun to prevent crime.
