Trump Stumbles Onto a Plan to Stem the Tide of Harris Popularity 8/15/24

On the heels of former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley sending a message to Donald Trump via Fox News to stop silly attacks that voters don’t care about and focus on the issues, Trump almost succeeded. At a campaign stop in North Carolina yesterday, it seemed he was trying to focus on the economy. He couldn’t quite stop himself from going off on weird rants laced with anger, sexist insults and outright lies, but between all of that, he seemed to have hit on a strategy that could resonate with people who were losing faith in Trump’s campaign. Trump keeps trying to get rid of the judge in his hush money case, to no avail. For the third time, Judge Juan Merchan says he will not recuse himself.  Trump is set to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on September 10th. On September 16th, Judge Merchan plans to rule on whether Trump's immunity challenge applies to the hush money case before sentencing on the 18th. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz will join us to offer his thoughts on what is sure to be a busy September for Trump.The show goes on with out Mark live, but we still have a heavy dose of Mark to serve up.
