Join Jim and Greg for a quick and fun discussion of getting spam emails from the DNC. Then they tackle National Security Council spokesman John Kirby disrespecting veterans critical of Biden, an LA Times columnist blaming Republicans for California's litany of problems, and politicians in Maryland considering an end to single-family homes.

After some quick jokes about the odd, unsolicited DNC emails that Greg keeps getting, they dig into Admiral Kirby hitting "reply all" on a request for a statement from veterans mad about Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and announcing their concerns weren't even worth a response. "Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe," is what Kirby said. Jim says Kirby needs to remember that he works for the people and not the Democratic Party.

Next, they roll their eyes at an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times that admits California is a mess. And even though no Republican has held statewide office since early 2011, columnist Steve Lopez says it's still the GOP's fault because of things Republicans did more than 50 years ago and that the Democrats' many failures under one-party control in recent years are also the Republicans' fault. Really! Jim has little patience for this revisionism and says Democrats have been able to do whatever they want in California. And what they want leads to disaster.

Finally, they turn their attention to the DC suburbs in Maryland. For years, people on the right have been branded as conspiracy theorists for saying the left wants to put an end to single-family homes and crowd more people into those spaces in order to collect more in property taxes. In Montgomery County, Maryland, the county council is now...surprise...considering legislation to put an end to single-family homes - under the false pretense of creating more affordable housing.
