Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 97
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
- The strangeness of Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it’s given rise to.
- Was Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the 15-minute gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala Harris?
- Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it’s now obvious the elected President hasn’t been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic?
- Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? She’s younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago?
- Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she’s such an awful boss she can’t persuade anyone good to work for her?
- Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI?
- And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
- Kim Cheatle’s resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt.
- The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others’ have claimed.
- Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial.
- And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.

Christ, the woman has serious verbal incontinence issues. She opens her mouth and random words just spill out. My theory is since she became VP Harris has been medicated, ( she could not have a career as a lawyer without the basic ability to communicate in an intelligible manner ) so basically both her and Biden are away with the fairies, just in different ways and to various extents, and as a result both are absolutely dreadful orators, especially when compared to Trump.
Doesn’t change the fact she’s a godawful socialist;
”Kamala Harris says she supports a “70% to 80% tax rate” and getting rid of all cars.”
