    Trump V Biden: Winning Strategy

    Trump V Biden: Winning Strategy

    On this episode of Ruthless, the show kicks off with pre-debate analysis. With Donald Trump and Joe Biden facing off for the first time, the show dives into the strategies and stakes at play. The fellas discuss why Biden can't win but can force Trump to lose and how Biden's team might have underestimated Trump's willingness to accept any terms.
    As the first debate of the 2024 election season, the stakes are incredibly high for both candidates. Biden needs this debate more than Trump, aiming to silence critics and prove his capability amidst ongoing doubts. Conversely, Trump's challenge is to stay focused and avoid falling into traps set by Biden's team.
    The fellas also discuss the unique debate format and rules, including two commercial breaks, no opening statements, and no studio audience. The fellas explain the agreed-upon structure, including time allocations for responses and rebuttals, and the strategic choices made by both campaigns regarding podium positions and closing statements.
    In other news, has science gone too far? The fellas discuss. King of the Hill makes a return with a shocking twist.
    Finally, Riley Gaines joins the progrum to discuss her new book "Swimming Against the Current: Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost its Mind."

    Voters Are Shifting, But Who Does It Benefit?

    On this episode of Ruthless, the fellas dive into the latest gaffe from President Joe Biden. It seems he’s having trouble getting from point A to point B and forming coherent sentences. The Democrats had to bring in the big guns – former President Obama – to try to save the day. It’s not a great look when the previous president appears more alert than the current one. This clip sparked a lot of reactions, and the fellas break down why it’s such a significant moment.
    Next, the fellas discuss a critical shift in American politics. Will a high-turnout environment in the presidential election actually help Republicans over Democrats? Recent cycles suggest this might be the case. The hosts analyze the data and what it means for the upcoming elections.

It’s a funny story you won’t want to miss. The Progrum is excited to have a special guest on today’s show – Sam Brown, a US Senate candidate from Nevada. He has an incredible story that is both inspiring and compelling.
