Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up all bad and crazy martinis. Today, they discuss Kamala Harris wanting to kill the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade, her ongoing refusal to confirm whether she still holds the same positions on several controversial issues, and MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle landing an interview with Harris just days after publicly saying that Harris doesn't need to answer tough questions because Donald Trump is such a threat to our nation.

First, they dive into the vice president's call to suspend the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema - the one-time Democrats who prevented their colleagues from killing the filibuster in the previous Congress - immediately denounced the idea. Jim and Greg explain why ending the filibuster would set a dangerous precedent, ultimately allowing Democrats to dismantle it for all legislative priorities.

They then shift to Harris's refusal to confirm whether her views on controversial issues like the death penalty, citizenship for some illegal immigrants, and decriminalizing sex work have changed. Despite repeated questions, the Vice President also avoids discussing her stance on a California ballot initiative that would increase penalties for minor theft and drug crimes. Jim and Greg not only blast her for trying to obscure her radical positions, but somehow wind up venting about Democrats - and a few Republicans - who failed to keep their word back in the '80s and '90s.

Finally, they roll their eyes as MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle lands an interview with Harris just days after Ruhle went on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and said Harris didn't need to answer tough questions or clarify policy positions because Trump is so horrible that voting for Harris was an obvious choice. Could this interview be anything other than an Oprah-style campaign ad?
