WHY DID THE GOP DITCH FISCAL CONSERVATISM? The new GOP platform is out and it's missing any mention of the debt, deficit spending or any of the hallmarks of fiscal conservatism they've allegedly been known for. What gives? I'll ask Trump economic advisor Steve Moore that question at 1pm. Read the platform here.

IS JILL THE WOMAN BEHIND THE PUPPET? My guest today is Mary Rooke whose column last week in the Daily Caller caught my eye. You can read it here. In it she takes Jill Biden to task for putting her own love for power ahead of doing what's right for her husband. Check this out:Think what you want about Joe’s corruption and tainted legacy, and I surely do, but Jill betrayed him, their marriage, and the promises she made before God on their wedding day. She likes the State Dinners, designer gowns, and being treated like royalty when she travels abroad more than she cares about Joe.She is right, of course, as Jill and Hunter and James Biden are the only voices telling him to stay in the race. I've got Mary today at 1 to talk about whether or not this is enough to keep the old man in the race.

THE COLLISION OF SEX WORK AND HOMELESSNESS David John Heitz is a longtime reporter who suffered a breakdown that left him homeless for several years.

GAYS AGAINST GROOMERS HAS UPSET THE PARASOL PATROL And we've been led to believe that the Parasol Patrol is a bunch of people who bring umbrellas to shield gay people from angry protesters who want to do them harm. Not exactly. Rich Guggenheim with Gays Against Groomers says they are a terror organization because of the tactics they employ against others. He joins me at 1 to discuss.
