Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 96
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
Where they were when Trump was shot (in the ear).
The tsunami of bad takes about the attempt to assassinate the former President, from the Denver Post headline -- "Gunman Dies in Attack" -- to David Baddiel half-jokingly suggesting Trump conspired to have himself shot.
Was the abject failure of the Secret Service to protect Trump a cock-up or a conspiracy? Toby thinks cock-up, Nick isn't so sure.
The fact that Biden has also benefitted from the failed assassination attempt in the that is has snuffed out the coup to replace him and made replacing him less attractive since Trump's victory is now nailed on.
And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
Trump picking JD Vance as his running mate, which both Toby and Nick think is smart.
England's loss in the Euro finals and Gareth Southgate's resignation as manager.
Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the Science Museum's decision to stop being funded by a Norwegian energy company and Toby rails against the Key's advice to teachers to liken the British Empire to Nazi Germany.
A new section devoted to the most egregious examples of anarcho-tyranny in the past week.
And in the Based Department, the clear winner is Donald Trump -- what could be more based than reacting like he did to being shot at -- and the runner up is Health Secretary Wes Streeting for making his predecessor's temporary ban on puberty blockers permanent.
