The Media & Biden’s Health, The GOP’s Pathetic Platform, Biden’s ‘Big Boy’ Plans

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Greg is back today. Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the growing discussion surrounding President Biden's neurological health, the supremely unimpressive Republican Party platform, and Biden's press team treating him like a tiny child.

First, they analyze the assessment of Dr. Tom Pitts, the board-certified neurologist who appeared on NBC News to share his belief that Biden clearly shows the symptoms of Parkinson'ss. Jim says this is a good martini not because of Biden's deteriorating health, but because the mainstream media have finally been forced to talk about it.

Next, they tear into a painfully inadequate and "depressingly unserious" Republican party platform. There are some strong policies but from the poor writing to the glaring lack of specifics on spending and other issues, the platform is stunningly unimpressive. They are especially disappointed with how the platform surrenders on abortion.

Finally, they have a good laugh at the way Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre and NSC Spokesman John Kirby are handling damage control for the president as they describe Biden's upcoming "big boy" press conference. They remark on how the president is clearly being infantilized by everyone surrounding him, and Jim laments that the nation is being run by Edith Wilsons.
