Trump Picks Vance, More Secret Service Mistakes, Biden’s Weak Interview

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Donald Trump's selection of Ohio Senator J.D Vance as his running mate. They also talk about DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's dubious statement of confidence in the U.S.Secret Service director. and President Biden's very weak interview with NBC's Lester Holt.

First, they open with a conversation about Trump's choice of Sen. Vance as his running mate. They weigh the pros and cons that might come with this decision and touch on other notable aspects of the Republican National Convention.

Next, they raise their eyebrows as Sec. Mayorkas claims that he has 100% confidence in Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, despite the agency's failure to stop the would-be Trump assassin from shooting. Greg recalls one of Trump's noteworthy lines from the debate: what does it take, in this administration, to get fired?

Finally, they review Biden's NBC interview, in which he makes no effort to walk back the incendiary rhetoric he has used against Trump, and once again showcases his mental decline. They close with the breaking news that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been convicted on all counts, and Jim looks forward to the next corrupt Democrat who will take his place.
