John C. Dvorak's "Tip of the Day" recommends a four-pack of 2022 Bordeaux wine available at Costco for $29.99, which he claims is superior to California wines.

Senator Lindsey Graham's recent aggressive defense of Brett Kavanaugh is analyzed. The hosts discuss Graham's use of a "trailer park" reference—originally a James Carville quote about Paula Jones—and his newfound "Maverick" status following the death of John McCain. They suggest Graham is successfully adopting Trump-like tactics to engage with his critics.

The driver in the Charlottesville attack, James Alex Fields Jr., is profiled by the New York Times as a quiet, fatherless youth with a "Nazi haircut."

CNN's Van Jones addresses a Project Veritas video where he referred to the Russia investigation as a "nothing burger." In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Jones clarifies that he was speaking about the political utility of the investigation for progressives, rather than the validity of the FBI's findings.

Project Veritas released undercover footage of a CNN producer admitting the Russia investigation is a "nothing burger" driven by ratings. Additional footage shows Van Jones making similar comments, suggesting the media narrative lacks a "smoking gun."

The hosts criticize CBS for assembling "factoids" to create a false narrative regarding the Russia investigation. They note that despite the media frenzy, the Dow Jones Industrial Average remains up, which they use as a gauge for the President's actual standing.

The media's presentation of the Orlando victims is criticized for its "over-dramatized" production, including the use of somber music and James Earl Jones's voiceover on CNN. This style is contrasted with the traditional silence used when honoring fallen soldiers. The hosts argue that the "heavy music box" approach turns a tragedy into a produced entertainment product.

The documentary *Pandora's Promise* features environmentalists who have shifted their stance to support nuclear energy as a solution to climate change. During a CNN segment, director Robert Stone clashed with Van Jones over the cost and safety of nuclear power. Jones argued for a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, while Stone highlighted advanced reactor technologies that consume their own waste and cannot melt down.

Specific cinematic choices in the movie Lincoln are critiqued, including the performances of Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones. Historical inaccuracies are highlighted, such as the unlikely presence of Mary Todd Lincoln in the House gallery during the amendment vote. The film's ending, involving a romantic subplot for Representative Thaddeus Stevens, is characterized as a fictionalized addition to the historical record.

The resignation of National Security Advisor General James Jones is linked to a speech he gave in Russia regarding the nexus of international organized crime and drug trafficking. The discussion explores theories from the LaRouche movement suggesting British and CIA involvement in the Afghan poppy trade. The hosts examine the "Dope Inc." theory, which posits that global banking interests are the primary beneficiaries of the heroin trade.

During a Q&A session at a policy forum, Mike Billington of Executive Intelligence Review asks about the "narco-side" of terrorism and the massive flow of drugs from British-controlled areas of Afghanistan. The segment notes that General James Jones resigned or was fired shortly after endorsing Russian calls for a global effort against the drug trade. The hosts discuss the historical context of the Opium Wars and the alleged protection of poppy fields.

National Security Advisor James Jones stated at the Munich Security Conference that he takes "daily orders" from Dr. Henry Kissinger. Jones described a chain of command within the National Security Council that includes Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, and Sandy Berger. The hosts highlight this as evidence of the enduring influence of the "evil elite" over current US foreign policy.
