We've never done this before but Zig really felt he needed to devote this entire episode to the state of the 2024 presidential race post debate. Monday morning saw Joe Biden calling into his favorite show to deliver the message he'd already put out in writing - "I ain't going anywhere" (0:00-15:15).

Zig was convinced that Trump's ego had gotten in the way and that the trap was set going into Thursday night's debate. After all, the rules had created the ultimate home field advantage for Biden all he needed to do was kick a chip shot field goal and he wins. Whether through brilliance or sheer luck it all worked out for DJT. Viewers saw a very different Trump in this debate - perhaps aided or calmed by the rules we witnessed a deliberate and disciplined Trump that is until Biden made the comment that shall not stand and created a debate moment we won't soon forget. (2:00-1:03:00).The liberal media reaction was swift and shocking and many believe coordinated but Zig has a different take. Zig does his own fact checking and has some thoughts on the liars.

There's clearly been some movement amongst independents and John wonders why. The biggest thing for republicans to fear going into the debate (2:15-22:30).This rarely happens but Zig finds himself in alignment with the conventional wisdom that Trump is walking into a trap on Thursday night.
