James and Al expose the incompetence of Trump and the MAGA members of Congress, analyze the presidential debate, and explore its repercussions.  They explain why Kamala’s answer on immigration effectively derailed Trump, celebrate her masterful handling of the abortion issue, and break down why her focus on the future resonates so strongly with voters.  They also compare the candidates' truthfulness, grade the moderators' performance, and weigh the impact of her win on the polls.  With the momentum now shifting back to Vice President Harris, they call on former members of Trump’s administration who have spoken out against him to take a stand and endorse her.

James and Al tear into Trump's and the pro-life movement's hypocrisy and analyze the latest prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza. Presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky then joins them to discuss John Adams’ role in the founding and how he and Jefferson diffused a constitutional crisis to kick off our country’s legacy of peaceful transitions of power, now threatened by Trump.  They also welcome pollster Dr. Whit Ayres to investigate the accuracy of the polls, how to make sure Trump voters aren’t being underrepresented, and what the future of the Republican Party looks like if Kamala wins.
