Day 3 of the RNC featured a primetime speech from VP nominee JD Vance - but the whole night seemed overshadowed by the words of the Gold Star Families who took the stage. Vance, Trump's granddaughter, his song Junior, all performed well - but no moment seemed more powerful or as political devastating as those families. On today's podcast, we talk through the big moments of the night - all while Joe Biden's candidacy continues to fall apart. Join us on Flyover Country!

With many of the formalities out of the way, Day 2 of the RNC was a speech heavy day - featuring old rivals like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and new allies like Vivek Ramaswamy. The message of unity continued throughout the night, with everyone throwing their full fledged support behind Donald Trump. But perhaps no speech was more impactful than that of Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She brought the house down on Day 2 - a sign of a potential rising star. We break it all down this morning for you,...

The day had some memorable and not so memorable speeches, but none seemed to capture folks attention more than Amber Rose. Join us today - and all week long - as we break down each of...

From this weekend's Newsworthy Podcasts: President Biden and former President Trump came face to face this week for the first time in four years – on CNN’s debate stage.

In last night's debate, the stakes could not have higher for Joe Biden, and in the end - his flop could not bigger. President Biden arrived in Atlanta with his poll numbers falling and major questions about his health - and did nothing to reassure voters that he could handle the job of President. 90 grueling minutes later, calls for Biden to step aside have gotten louder. Trump however, posting a fine performance, now rides some major momentum. So, is it over for Biden? We breakdown...
