Elsa Kurt with Clay Novak | From Kamala Harris’s VP Pick to Middle East Conflicts

What happens when Kamala Harris makes a clandestine VP pick, Tim Walz? This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the unexpected political maneuver that has everyone buzzing. We scrutinize the implications of Harris’s choice, particularly focusing on the fallout for Josh Shapiro and the strategic ins-and-outs of Ohio's ballot requirements. Expect an interesting detour where we share a laugh over the classic film "Tommy Boy" before steering back to the charged political landscape.

We then put the spotlight on Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, dissecting his controversial handling of the 2020 Minneapolis riots and his provocative stance on abortion laws. We also dig into accusations surrounding his military service and recommend the documentary "The Fall of Minneapolis" for those craving more context. Our discussion covers Kamala Harris's recent statements that have sparked debate within the Democratic Party, the discontent among diverse voters, and the sharp critiques from political veterans like James Carville.

Get ready for an exploration of Venezuela’s economic collapse and how it serves as a cautionary tale for U.S. policies. We also cover the latest geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the reversal of a shocking plea deal in a terrorism case, and the Olympic boxing controversy involving athletes with XY chromosomes. Wrapping up, we announce our upcoming vacation and the highly anticipated recap of the Democratic National Convention—promising a lively return with some special surprises.
