‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling

by

Listen to “‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that badly outspent GOP candidates are getting an infusion of $160 million from Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC for the final push to November. They also shudder as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell says he will be acting aggressively to rein in inflation but that many people will feel “pain” in the meantime. And they hammer the FBI after Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan how the Bureau told Facebook to be on the lookout to confront expected Russian disinformation. That led Facebook to limit the reach of posts related to the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Iran Deal Delusion, California’s Car Mandates, Biden’s Student Loan Lies

by

Listen to “Iran Deal Delusion, California’s Car Mandates, Biden’s Student Loan Lies” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and a crazy one. First, they groan as the Biden administration foolishly pursues a new Iran nuclear deal that in several ways would be even worse than the original. They also fume as California lays out plans to ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035, explain how electric vehicles are a thoroughly unacceptable option for millions of Americans, and how government has no business forcing options on us that we don’t want. And they have a LOT to say about the Biden administration’s rollout of its plan to force Americans who didn’t take out student loans or have paid them off to cover those costs for others.

‘Fatalistic’ Florida Dems, Biden’s Class Warfare, Maloney Blames Loss on Sexism

by

Listen to “‘Fatalistic’ Florida Dems, Biden’s Class Warfare, Maloney Blames Loss on Sexism” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news that Democrats in Florida admit being “fatalistic” in knowing Republicans are very likely to win statewide races. They also unload on the Biden administration over it’s plan to “forgive” $10,000 in student loans and pass the bill over to people who never took out the loans or responsibly paid their bills. Finally, they discuss Rep. Jerry Nadler’s surprisingly easy win in a member vs. member New York House primary and Rep. Carolyn Maloney blaming her loss – at least in part – on misogyny and a sexist system.

Fauci Finally Leaving, Ugly Dem vs. Dem Primary, Buttigieg Clueless on Flight Delays

by

Listen to “Fauci Finally Leaving, Ugly Dem vs. Dem Primary, Buttigieg Clueless on Flight Delays” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the upcoming retirement of Anthony Fauci as they chronicle his soaring ego and willingness to lie when it suited his agenda. They also pop the popcorn as longtime Democrats in the House get ugly in their member vs. member primary in New York City. And they shake their heads as Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg tries to talk tough to airlines over their serious delay problems but it’s obvious he really has no solutions.

Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim

by

Listen to “Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they are glad to see a new poll showing the Ohio Senate race narrowly favoring the GOP. They also grimace as the Fed expects inflation to stay stubbornly high for awhile – even with persistent interest rate hikes. And they fire back at former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden for absurdly agreeing that Republicans in the U.S. are the most “nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible group” recently seen anywhere in the world.

Cheney’s Odd Strategy, Dems Drop the Inflation Pretense, D.C. Schools’ Dumb Mandate

by

Listen to “Cheney’s Odd Strategy, Dems Drop the Inflation Pretense, D.C. Schools’ Dumb Mandate” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess Rep. Liz Cheney getting trounced in the Wyoming congressional primary, her odd Lincoln reference in her speech last night, and whether she is really planning to run for president in 2024. They also shake their heads as the political left and their media allies drop the bogus talking point that their massive spending bill reduces inflation and admit it’s just advancing their big government goals on climate policy and more. And they hammer Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for continuing to demand that all students be vaccinated for COVID before being allowed in schools when up to 40 percent of black students remain unvaccinated.

Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections

by

Listen to “Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that after big fundraising numbers and weeks of intense campaigning, that Beto O’Rourke is still well behind Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and hasn’t improved his numbers at all. They also cringe as the National Republican Senatorial Committee shifts resources around to help candidates who have underperformed in their own fundraising. And as Alaska voters head to the polls they give thumbs down to the state’s system of advancing four candidates to the general election and using ranked choice to determine a winner.

Dems’ Inflation Dodge, Atlantic’s Abortion Insanity, Monkeypox Madness

by

Listen to “Dems’ Inflation Dodge, Atlantic’s Abortion Insanity, Monkeypox Madness” on Spreaker.

Join Greg and Scot Bertram as they hammer the Biden administration and Democrats for promising a bill to lower inflation but really just spends more, taxes, more, and harasses middle class Americans. They also wonder what is happening at The Atlantic as it publishes a story downplaying far-left attacks on pro-life organizations but blasts the pro-life community for pointing out that it’s happening. And they sigh as the World Heath Organization won’t be honest about how to stop monkeypox but it’s super worried that the name monkeypox could be stigmatizing.

Answering Your Questions, Part 1

by

Listen to “Answering Your Questions, Part 1” on Spreaker.

We love our listeners and we love hearing from you! So we decided to ask what questions you’d like us to address.  Today we start with a great hypothetical. If conservatives won control of the House, Senate, and White House (with a supermajority in the Senate), which president from the past 100 years would we want setting the agenda and what would we want him to focus on. Then they take on a question asking what margin Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis needs to win re-election by to have real momentum for a 2024 presidential bad – and how damaging would it be for him if Sen. Marco Rubio wins by a wider margin?  Finally, they tackle a Terminator-themed political question in a crazy but intriguing final martini.

Where We Stand in the 2022 Midterms

by

Listen to “Where We Stand in the 2022 Midterms” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg continue their week of special podcasts by focusing on the critical 2022 midterm elections.  They start by looking at the most competitive U.S. Senate races and come to different conclusions about which party is likely to be in control of the Senate next year. They also look at the race for the House, which is likely to swing back to GOP control, but is it a lock and how big of a GOP majority is reasonable to expect?  Finally, they examine the highest profile governor races, which may produce presidential contenders before too long.
