    Should a president be able to "assassinate" his political opponents?

    Should a president be able to "assassinate" his political opponents?

    Is Trump above the law and should he have immunity from a case involving his actions around the January 6th insurrection?

    That's what the Supreme Court has spent the last week arguing about. Amazingly, they might be making a case for why he checks notes... IS immune.

    We hear from The New York Times Supreme Court supremo Adam Liptak.

    Later is Joe Biden wise to joke about his age at the White House Correspondents Dinner?

    And why did Trump's potential vice president pick shoot dead her pet puppy - and then boast about it?

    Zingers and Gaffes: A Look At the Utility of Presidential Debates
    The presidential debate has been a right of passage for both primary and general election candidates for more than thirty years.

    Now in the midst of another election season, it looks like this well-established tradition might be fading away. But do debates inform voters, and do they change minds?

    We take a look at how the modern presidential debate came to be, and what their absence would mean for candidates and voters.

    Aid To Ukraine, Sen. Tuberville and Military Promotions, Fourth Republican Debate

    Aid To Ukraine, Sen. Tuberville and Military Promotions, Fourth Republican Debate
    Some U.S. lawmakers question whether aid to Ukraine should continue amid a battlefield stalemate. Sen. Tommy Tuberville drops his hold on more than 400 military promotions. And four Republican presidential candidates prepare for a fourth debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

    Clarification: A previous version of this episode did not make clear that Congressional Republicans have additional border policy requests including proposed requirements for asylum cases and ways to curtail illegal crossings.

    Here’s What Trump Should Do During The Debate To Expose Biden (Ep 1373)
    In this episode, I discuss the stunning new evidence about the Biden crime family case that the Democrats, and their media allies, cannot run away from.  News Picks: Computer repair shop receipt revealed, and it burns the dopey media narrative to the ground. The liberal debate moderator likely won’t ask about Hunter Biden’s emails.  Media hacks are using the “unverified” excuse for ignoring the Biden crime family story. Chief Justice Roberts sold us out again. The debate commission keeps screwing over the President.  Joe Biden’s ridiculous tax plan makes absolutely no sense. The DOJ announces a historic anti-trust lawsuit against Google. Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
