The Tim Corrimal Show
Episode 755 – August 18, 2024

Show Art - Trump speaking at a press conference delivering The Olympics of lying.

On episode 755 of The Tim Corrimal Show, I am joined at the round table with Francie (@Francie57 on Twitter and @Francie57@mastodon.social on Mastodon), Cathy (@Cathy47204163 on Twitter and @CathyLarkin@sfba.social on Mastodon) and from the Let’s Remember To Never Forget Facebook Page, and Justice Putnam (@justiceputnam on Twitter and @justiceputnam@sfba.social on Mastodon) from NetrootsRadio.com and http://www.dailykos.com/user/justiceputnam.

On the show this week we start out with introductions and our Heroes of the Week segment, then we discuss clips of Michael Steele accusing the media of whining about Vice President Harris not doing interviews, Andrew Kaczynski reporting on unearthed video of North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction GOP candidate Michele Morrow calling on Trump to enact a military coup to stay in office in 2020, and Gov. Tim Walz calling out Trump for challenging his military service. Next we discuss clips of George Conway comparing Trump’s doubling down on unreality to Hitler losing it in the ‘Führer Bunker’ before his demise, Harry Enten on the polling data showing Trump is losing on likeability, the issues, and messaging, and Pete Buttigieg calling Trump’s press conferences as ‘the Olympics of lying’. Then we discuss clips of the Morning Joe crew mocking Trump’s Valley Girl retort to Putin on Ukraine, Ken Dilanian reporting on the Trump campaign’s claims that it was hacked by Iran, and Joe Scarborough pushing back on Trump’s claim that the media is biased against him. Next we discuss clips of Glenn Kirschner on the Dean Obeidallah Show saying that Trump will spend the rest of his miserable life in court or prison if he loses the election, Frank Luntz wondering if Trump wants to lose and that no sane person would run his campaign like he is running it, and Alex Wagner mocking Trump’s miserable failure in attacking Vice President Kamala Harris. Then we discuss clips of Harry Enten showing that RFK, Jr.s campaign is tanking in the polls amid reports that he tried to trade his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in exchange for a Cabinet position, Daniel Dale fact checking Trump’s whole bunch of nonsense press conference, and we close out with a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris announcing her platform in a speech in North Carolina.
