Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more good polling for incumbent GOP senators and two key challengers, the sobering facts and projections about our massive debt and deficits, and the no good, very bad week for CBS News.

First, they break down promising polling for incumbent GOP senators like Florida’s Rick Scott and Texas’ Ted Cruz, as well as key challenger Tim Sheehy’s growing lead over Democrat Sen. Jon Tester in Montana. The outlook for a Republican Senate majority in 2025 is improving.

Next, they groan as new numbers and projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) show a $1.8 trillion deficit for this past fiscal year and an even bigger one expected for the year to come. The figures also show that just paying the interest on the debt cost taxpayers $892 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 and will be more than a trillion dollars next year. It's unsustainable and neither party cares.

Finally, they chronicle the horrible week for CBS News. This includes network management chastising "CBS This Morning" Co-Host Tony Dokoupil for asking some tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book that's very hostile towards Israel,  "60 Minutes" egregiously editing the interview with Kamala Harris, and network brass telling reporters not to say that Jerusalem is in Israel.
