On August 12, 2024, Brian Joondeph joined the show. Joondeph exposes how mainstream polls systematically oversample Democrats to create false narratives about Harris lead, analyzes the media role as a Democrat campaign arm, and discusses the Olympics controversy over biological males in womens boxing Poll Manipulation and Media Bias in the 2024 Election Start listening at 28:52 – Hour 1 Brian Joondeph, author and columnist for American Thinker and Rasmussen, breaks down how mainstream media polls systematically oversample Democrats to create false narratives about Kamala Harris popularity. Joondeph reveals that polls showing Harris ahead typically oversample Democrats by two to six points, which conveniently matches her supposed lead. The manipulation extends to undersampling independents, who comprise roughly half the electorate and lean toward Trump. Joondeph argues these biased polls serve a deliberate purpose: demoralizing Trump supporters into staying home on Election Day. The transformation of Harris from a candidate who could not survive the 2020 primaries with 1% support to a supposed frontrunner defies logical explanation without acknowledging coordinated media manipulation. “They reflect sentiment and they can be used to reflect public opinion, or they can be used to shape public opinion, and I think many of the polls are being used to shape opinion.” Brian Joondeph, Author and Columnist The Marxist Backgrounds of Harris and Walz Start listening at 32:39 – Hour 1 Joondeph exposes the radical policy positions of both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, tracing their support for defunding police, endorsing BLM riots, and backing transgender surgeries for minors. The media refusal to examine these positions reveals its role as a protective shield for Democrat candidates. Walz lies about his military service have largely escaped mainstream scrutiny while similar misrepresentations by Republicans would dominate news cycles for weeks. The discussion turns to Harris connection to the Obama political machine. Joondeph suggests Obama insisted on Harris as the nominee, with his operatives now directing her campaign. Her sudden policy reversals, such as opposing tip taxes after her administration supported them, demonstrate a candidate willing to say anything for political advantage. The Buried Assassination Attempt Story Start listening at 34:41 – Hour 1 Joondeph highlights the stark contrast in media coverage between the Trump assassination attempt and how a similar event involving a Democrat would be handled. The FBI attempts to downplay whether Trump was struck by a bullet versus shrapnel reveal institutional bias. Even Mark Zuckerberg called Trump response badass, yet the story has largely disappeared from mainstream coverage within weeks. The absence of answers about Secret Service failures, the unguarded roof, and the investigation status points to a deliberate coverup. Congressional Republicans, despite holding the House, have done little beyond holding hearings and sending strongly worded tweets. Olympics Womens Boxing and Biological Males Start listening at 46:39 – Hour 1 Joondeph addresses the Olympic boxing controversy where biological males competed against women. Unlike swimming or running where unfair competition results in lost medals, boxing presents physical danger. The Italian boxer who quit her match said she had never been hit so hard in her life. Despite chromosomal evidence of male genetics, the International Olympic Committee permitted these competitors while the National Organization...
