Topic: War Stories

David Brooks defended Joe Biden's conflated war stories, attributing them to the "jostling" of the campaign trail rather than intentional lying. The hosts criticize this double standard, arguing that Biden's embellishments are often designed to improve his dramatic effect and personal image. They compare Biden's storytelling to other public figures like Brian Williams and Hillary Clinton.

The hosts suggest that ABC's decision to cancel "Roseanne" was driven by Hollywood peer pressure and a desire to distance the network from pro-Trump demographics. They compare the situation to the cancellation of Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing," arguing that political bias often outweighs shareholder interests and ratings in network decision-making.
