Casey’s Curious Family Funding, Obama Double-Crosses Biden, Bill Kristol’s Political Fiction

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Today, Jim and Greg discuss an attack ad that exposes Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey using his politics to help his siblings get rich, the news that former President Obama greenlit George Clooney's New York Times op-ed calling for President Biden to step down from the race, and Bill Kristol's ridiculous claim that Biden's old age is the only thing working against Democrats in this election.

First, they applaud the Republican attack ad that takes Sen. Casey to task for using his position to enrich his family. They analyze the effect that this ad may have in the upcoming senate race, especially given that the ad ties Casey's actions to the Hunter Biden scandal, which is still a recent memory.

Next, they shake their heads at what appears to be Obama's attempts to publicly support Joe Biden but privately sabotage his campaign, greenlighting George Clooney to call for Bide to step aside from the presidential race. Jim thinks that if Obama believes Biden is not fit to be president, then he should tell Biden himself instead of making underhanded moves to hint that Biden should step down.

Finally, they dissect Bill Kristol's recent tweet that the Democratic party and its policies are basically sound, and that Biden's old age is the only thing holding them back. Jim and Greg point to the terrible results on the border, economics, and foreign policy that we have seen from this presidency, and wonder what backwards logic led Kristol to his conclusion.
