It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Day 1 of the RNC, Trump’s VP pick, Elon’s $45m/month pledge to Trump, the background of Trump’s would-be assassin, Trump’s legal woes, Biden’s sinking polling, the US economy, immigration and the border, and RFK and Cornel West’s ballot access, also parsing through Trump’s pick of JD Vance as his VP, why it’s a financial (rather than electoral) choice, and what to make of Vance’s unsurprising 180º on Trump since 2016. Next, they shift focus back to the RNC as the GOP puts the assassination attempt (but notably not the victims) at the forefront of the conference and watch the Teamsters’ Sean O’Brien immediately lose his audience as he shifts from the “both sides” lauding of GOP Representatives to discussing actual working-class issues.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Shawn Fain show why he’s the better union-Shawn with a call to action for May Day 2028, react to the breaking news of Bob Menendez’ guilty charge(s), and Sam unpacks his feelings on the increasingly-obvious right-wing rat-fuck campaign of RFK Jr. as a call between him and Trump leaks. GOP Leadership has a tough Johnson showing from both Mike and Ron, and the MR Team tackles Biden’s recent interview with Lester Holt and the increasingly frustrating future of his candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!
