Today's monologue focuses on an article in the Washington Post by Catherine Rampell. She says: in a recent blind test conducted by Yougov - they asked Americans what they thought about major policies proposed by President Biden and Donald Trump without specifying who proposed them. The idea was to see how the public perceived ideas when stripped of tribal associations and Biden won hands down. Then, he interviews journalist for Mother Jones - Julianne McShane on the fallout after the 1st presidential debate. Next, John takes calls from the Evil Army of the Night on the failing of the Dems to support Biden and the stupidity of the GOP to support Trump with blind obedience. Then finally, he welcomes back Comedy Daddy - Keith Price and they chat with callers about the campaigns and pop culture.
