  • SPECIAL COMMENT Part I: Trump 3rd Party stalking horse and QAnon Party would-be spoiler RFK Junior has confirmed his top two choices for Vice President are: New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and wrestling, government, and TV washout Jesse Ventura.
  • But how could you be New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers AND Vice President Aaron Rodgers at the same time?

Let’s ask “Governor” Kari Lake, who is running for Senator.

  • That’s the easy part! Based on 2023 being an NFL quarterback would only take about three and a half minutes out of his Vice Presidential year: “Now they’re going to swear in the Vice Presi … OHHHH HE’S TORN HIS ACHILLES WHILE TRYING TO STAND UP.”
  • Back-up Ventura is still insisting he was fired by MSNBC in November 2003 because he opposed the war in Iraq. Yeah, I started on MSNBC in February 2003 and I outlasted George W. Bush. I’ll tell you the real story of why MSNBC fired him (Jesse may not even know it).
  • SPECIAL COMMENT Part II: Robert K. Hur, the Biden “Special Counsel” and Trump operative named to the job by the impossibly inadequate Merrick Garland, was already DOA at yesterday’s House “Biden Age Plot” Committee Hearing before it started. Republicans are enraged because the transcript of Hur’s interview with President Biden they subpoenaed was also released to the taxpayers who paid for it. To the surprise (and more importantly the rage) of every Democrat, nearly every reporter, and even some Democrats,

That can’t be what Keith meant!

  • it showed that Hur COMPLETELY FABRICATED THE ENTIRE “BIDEN COULDN’T REMEMBER WHEN HIS SON DIED” saga. The transcript proved Hur a liar in that case, and time after time. Honestly, he should’ve told the car service driver to go right past the Rayburn Building and just take him to Dulles Airport for a trip anywhere else in the world.
  • Hey, maybe he can be RFK Jr’s Vice President. Or get a sub host job at Newsmax!

To be vetoed by Katie Hobbs (the REAL governor of Arizona) in 5, 4, 3, …

Maybe the reason she went all the way to Texas is because all the dentists in South Dakota are on meth?

  • THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well, no, the Political Podcast of the Year award we didn’t win wasn’t rigged. But 35 years ago the local NBC station figured out how to game the local news Emmy awards — part of the reason I’m 0-forever in Emmys. So it’s a good time to tell you that saga.

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
