There's No Gaza Famine, Bowman Blames the Jews, Previewing the Debate

3 Martini Lunch

Today, Jim rejoins Greg, and has a wild moose story to tell from his trip to Alaska. Then they discuss the latest updates indicating that Gaza is not in danger of starvation, Rep. Jamaal Bowman's ridiculous reasoning for why he lost his primary, and their predictions about the tonight's presidential debate.
First, they are pleased to see a revised report confirming that Gaza is not under threat of starvation. They hope this is a lesson to news agencies not to take Palestinian reports about damage to their civilians at face value, since they have been known to wildly exaggerate such reports.
Next, they facepalm as Rep. Jamaal Bowman blames dark money super PACs for his defeat, accusing them of trying to "brainwash" voters. Jim jabs that Bowman is the dumbest member of the squad, and set himself up for a failure of this magnitude.
Finally, they offer up their predictions for the presidential debate tonight, weighing the different factors that play in the favor of each candidate. Jim speculates that the debate has been overhyped, and that, barring a dramatic turn of events, it will not move the needle for voters very much.
