A BIG HALF HOUR SHOW TODAY! Baseball kicks in at 12:30 but I've got you plenty to do while it's on.
BIDEN IS SPEAKING TONIGHT AT 6 And we will carry it live on KOA.
THIS POLL IS MORE ACCURATE IN MY OPINION A new poll has Kamala up by 2% and this is more what I was expecting, not because she's a great candidate but because SHE'S NOT JOE BIDEN. I mentioned all the fawning media coverage of her for the last 72 hours so this is where I thought the polls SHOULD be. I hope they rattle the cage of any Trump supporters who think this is going to be a walk in the park. Trump is not just running against Kamala, he's running against a media complex that through their own lack of curiosity covered up the decline of Joe Biden. It's gonna be tough, don't get complacent.
BUT HERE COME THE ATTACKS And they are NOT pretty. Here we have a long column on Kamala's extremely progressive hard core left wing record, this column asks when she knew about Biden's decline and why didn't she tell the American people, this column talks about what the policies of Newsome and Harris have donte to California and here Peter Schweizer points out that she was boosted to District Attorney by Willie Brown (her married paramore at the time) because his friends were being investigated. They were never charged when Kamala got into office, by the way. I realize it's going to be impossible to expect the media, who all had an orgasm over her for three days, to actually ask questions about these things but I guarantee the Trump campaign is going to make these issues front and center.
ELON MUSK IS NOT DONATING $45 MILLION A MONTH TO TRUMP He IS donating to a new Super PAC he created to support the GOP though. He says he will start with smaller amounts and never promised anything like $45 million a month. I finally found the interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on X and you should watch it, it's fascinating. It's an hour and forty five minutes so it will keep you busy during baseball. It starts at about the 19 minute mark.
THE MAYOR IS MOVING CLOSER TO REALISM ON HOMELESSNESS And this editorial from the Denver Gazette on his first State of the City address points out his evolution from "they just need housing" to "these people have some significant issues" and I'm fine with that. I wish he had listened to people outside his bubble before we spent MILLIONS housing deeply ill people with no treatment. That being said if we are now going to focus on all those underlying causes we may actually make progress. We'll see.
WHAT HAPPENED TO TERRELL DAVIS IS SHAMEFUL As he was arrested after a flight landed after what I can only imagine was a hysterical flight attendant claimed Davis "hit him" when Davis says he tapped the attendants arm to get a forgotten cup of ice for his son. From everyone I've ever talked to about Davis can attest, he is a really nice man and this is unbelievable. This is one of those things where it's hard to not think racism played some role. I'm more inclined to believe this flight attendant is bitchy and mad with power and decided to flex on Davis without knowing who he is. Read about it and see the video of him being handcuffed. Other passengers testified that he did NOT hit the flight attendant, by the way.
THIS SEEMS ACCURATE TO ME And on tomorrow's show we're going to talk about the extremely undemocratic process used by the Democrats to replace a losing candidate with one they like better, voters be damned. Elon Musk nailed it here.

WATCH THIS LAUGHABLE STATEMENT BY CHUCK SCHUMER And I say laughable because it is.
I'm sorry, what? What grassroots? What the hell did the grassroots have to do with nominating a woman who got NO VOTES when she actually ran for President by having every major Democrat come out to endorse her before wrangling all the delegates, who are the most elite members of the party, to commit to her? This will go down as the greatest crap all over democracy in history. The second greatest was the use of "super delegates" to block Bernie Sanders. Both feats of a party who claims to be "saving democracy". This is laughable if it weren't so serious. I can't wait to see some accountability journalism about this on 9News. JK, that won't happen.
A WHALE TAKES OUT A FISHING BOAT Not on purpose, it was just hungry but DANG!
1984 HAS ENTERED THE CHAT And we have a perfect example of Newspeak and the Ministry of Truth right here.
