Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Jim is back today, joining the podcast from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Today, Jim and Greg dissect Biden's angry & often false speech, the Democrats running way behind schedule at the convention, & Jill Biden and Nancy Pelosi offering very different explanations for why Biden abandoned his re-election bid.

First, they break down Biden's long, loud speech that was full of debunked accusations and major distortions about his record. From his performance on border security to COVID & schools to job creation, Biden played fast & loose with the truth and, of course, had more than a few moments of mangling his words.

Next, they're stunned at how badly run the first night of the DNC was. Jim explains what a hassle it was for media and delegates to get into the arena. And then, Democrats scheduled a bunch of barely known figures to speak past the prime time window. Did Democrats intentionally shove Joe to a time the viewership would be dwindling?

Finally, they get a kick out of the very different explanations given last night for why Biden dropped his re-election bid, with First Lady Jill Biden stating that Joe made the decision after looking "deep into his soul" and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she "did what I had to do" but insisting that Joe made his own decision.
