Stop Giggling
The status quo and establishment of both parties have spectacularly failed Americans
Programming alert🚨: You get two hours of me once again tonight as I’ll be filling in for Cuomo starting at 8 p.m. ET
See you tonight for a special two-hour “On Balance”
From our food🍟: “Human ‘biology was never intended to handle’ ultraprocessed foods, former FDA head David Kessler warns”
Worth watching this clip from “60 Minutes”
60 Minutes@60Minutes“Over the last 40 years, the United States has been exposed to something that our biology was never intended to handle,” warns former FDA Commissioner David Kessler. cbsn.ws/4w7WipY11:05 PM · Aug 9, 2026 · 958K Views100 Replies · 441 Reposts · 2.75K Likes
Irony alert🚨: No kidding… that is why we have Type 2 diabetes, obesity and all these things that didn’t happen in the 1950s
RFK Jr. is a little wacky — maybe even very wacky, but the ultraprocessed problem in America is real and affects poor and minority communities the worst
So why do Democrats insist that food stamps cover it?
Be fair⚖️: That is far too simple a connection, but it’s a hell of a juxtaposition.
Both sides‼️: Nobody wanted to talk about this because Democrats and Republicans both answer to Big Food and Big Ag
It’s over‼️: Last night, we learned President Trump secretly switched planes when he left the NATO summit in Turkey last month — and this shows exactly where the Iran war stands… it’s over.
✈️He boarded Air Force One in front of cameras, then snuck onto an airport catering truck to get on a smaller plane
This is the second time Trump has had to switch planes because of threats from Iran — and Trump has done nothing to punish them
Perspective👀: The Iranians see this as us trying to kill you, and you did nothing in response.
Look back🔙: President Bill Clinton bombed the Iraqis because they planned to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush
This is a guy from another party saying you don’t take a shot at the president of the United States
Today❗: Now the U.S. president has to change plans twice because they tried to take a shot at him and does nothing.
I hate to say it, but it makes Trump look weak.
Tonight📺: Mick Mulvaney and Brent Sadler on how both Iran and Trump are looking at the plane story
PS❗: The media navel-gazing about being “deceived” is pretty wild — that said, why they couldn’t have pulled one reporter and put them on the plane with the president was an unforced error.
Be smart🧠: The White House didn’t want the level of threat to come out because they knew the blowback for not responding forcefully.
These People Might Win⚠️
‼️The Republican giggle fest over Democrats nominating socialists (they will again tonight in Wisconsin) should stop if they want to win.
Francesca Hong is likely to win the Democratic nomination for governor in Wisconsin — she is an objectively weak politician who is in the right place at the right time
DDHQ’s Scott Tranter tonight joins on what we’ve learned about who is supporting the DSA candidates — educated, white, mostly women malcontents.
Why did Abdul El-Sayed wildly underperform in poll numbers — will Hong as well?
⚠️Socialism is the road to ruin — and yes, there are endless sound bites of El-Sayed and Francesca Hong sounding un-American.
Some of the greatest hits!

FULL STOP 🛑: Americans are ANGRY. They can’t afford groceries or child care. Just 47% of families can afford a $1,000 emergency.
Yet‼️: Republicans keep selling the “Big Beautiful Bill” and complaining that the economy was worse under Biden.
Even The Wall Street Journal says stop
Malpractice🤦: Mike Collins says he supports a slush fund for January 6 attendees
FactPost@factpostnewsGOP Senate candidate Mike Collins goes on the record supporting the $1.8 billion "weaponization" slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists: "When the federal government harms you, then yes, they have a liability too. That’s easy. Yes."4:54 PM · Aug 11, 2026 · 21.7K Views45 Replies · 103 Reposts · 220 LikesWho knows if the guy asking the question was a plant — but what a God-awful answer
Be smart🧠: The status quo and establishment of both parties have spectacularly failed Americans
Trump won in 2024 by talking about what he would do FOR those hurting
Democrats lost by screaming about Trump
In 2026, Democratic (socialists) are promising to do a lot FOR those hurting
Republicans are screaming about Democrats
Watch tonight📺: Mark McKinnon and Madeline Summerville plus the 2Way trio — Mark Halperin, Larry O’Connor and Kevin Wallin as the results come in.
The Grade-Free Generation💯
🤦The University of Michigan has decided giving grades is too stressful for incoming freshmen — so, for their first semester, they’ll only get “pass or no credit.”
“Animal House” has a pretty good idea of what this looks like:
At the University of Michigan, you can now be fat, drunk and stupid — and still pass
📰The Wall Street Journal headlines, “University of Michigan Drops First-Semester Grades to ‘Curb Mental Health Crisis’”
74.1% of students received A’s in 2022… I guess that wasn’t enough
Why it matters‼️: This does nothing for the students and in fact is a complete disservice for them — the real world has grades
TV has ratings
Jobs have performance reviews
Businesses get reviews
What I’m thinking💭: Why would parents spend tens of thousands of dollars to send their kid to a school that is in no way preparing them for the real world?
Dig deep: Andrew Breitbart says, “Politics is downstream from culture”
Abdul El-Sayed won the county where the University of Michigan is located by 25 points.
If you want to fix politics in American, you have to fix the culture in America
Tonight📺: University of Michigan professor Dr. Derek R. Peterson supports the move — why wouldn’t he? Fewer kids and parents will complain.
Can't wait
Looking forward to the show! What a Tuesday! Election Tuesday! Hong and Sayed are frauds, RFK is right this time. Is Trump turning tail? You gotta give kids grades all grades, and vaccines when they're young.
