You gotta go back to Bill Clinton to find a politician as slick as JD Vance. Ben riffs on last night's vice presidential debate. Monroe joins the conversation. Talking Slick JD's smooth dodge of questions on abortion and climate change. Plus, his rewriting of history on Obamacare. And the Big Daddy--his attempt to dodge the question of whether Joe Biden won the election that Joe Biden won. Also, a critical word or two or three about the Democratic nice guy approach for Tim Walz.
