Ep. 156 - The Stench of Overconfidence

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine a bit of the overconfidence particular media institutions and political campaigns are showing as we count down to just 83 days before the general election on Nov. 5. The polls are spun in positive lights for both campaigns, as historical data is cast aside, and the blustering from legacy media outlets begins to fracture on the honeymoon we were promised wasn’t a phase. Josh Hammer, editor-at-large at Newsweek and show host on The First, joins us to examine the stain of antisemitism on the liberal side of the aisle, consistently finding footing in Minnesota and beyond. Stephen Kent of the Consumer Choice Center takes a break from his busy campaign in Virginia to discuss a massive controversy surrounding a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Co. and what this spells long term for an organization that defined millions of childhoods. This installment of “Whatcha’ Watchin” may not be the most laid-back, but it is one of the most important segments we’ve ever aired. Send us your submissions for “Awful Tweets” or “Mail Time” here!
