The Home Stretch

As you may be aware, we had a Presidential debate last night. The President did well, we all agree on that. Will it move the polls? Do the polls matter? We discuss. Then, Hoover’s Shelby Steele and his filmmaker son Eli Steele have made What Killed Michael Brown a provocative new documentary about race and the impact of the events in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. The film is streaming on Amazon (not without controversy — we discuss this on the show) and we implore everyone to watch it. Then, first time guest Susan Ferrechio, the Washington Examiner’s Chief Congressional Correspondent stops by to give us the low down on her mano-a-mano match with CNN’s Brian Stelter (take our advice and watch the clip) and discuss media bias the the prospects of holding the Senate and re-taking the House. Yes, we have a new LPoW courtesy of Jenna Stocker (and we remembered to add it to the description). Finally, a few thoughts on Jeffrey Toobin (we assure you that our Zoom call was squeaky clean), and we reveal why there are no pumpkins in the Robinson household.

Music from this week’s show: Susie Q by Creedence Clearwater Revival

    Hasn’t the Supreme Court – thanks to Chief Fink Justice John Roberts – already decided that Pennsylvania can keep counting “votes” for 3 extra days, and they don’t even have to be postmarked?

    Hopefully they’ll get another bite at that apple, to correct it.

    It was a 4-4 tie in that case, wasn’t it? Which let stand the lower court ruling. Justice Amy Coney Barrett could change that, if it comes up again.

    I am sure there will be plenty of lawsuits in Pennsylvania next month for the courts to get this one right, unless its a complete blowout and challenges to some votes would be moot – but nobody expects that.

    Maybe the presence of ACB will help Chief Fink Roberts find some spine, and those decisions will be at least 6-3 rather than 5-4.   But of course they should be 9-0.
